The organization mourned Technoblad's recent passing, stating that he will remain in their hearts forever after his personal battle with sarcoma. He's celebrated his community's efforts to raise $500,000 over the past few months, and even presented the late Minecraft creator with an award for bravery at the 20th annual Stand Up to Sarcoma Gala last September. The Saudi Sports for All Federation concluded its honor with a message of hope for cancer patients. Donations are still open on the SFA website for those who wish to support its ongoing campaign.
In the past, Mojang Studios, the developer of Minecraft , paid homage to Technoblade by adding a bejeweled crown to a pig in the Java version's loading screen. Fans appreciated the subtle update that showed the people behind Minecraft mourning and celebrating Technoblade life.
