Technoblade
American Minecraft YouTuber (1999–2022)
Alexander (June 1, 1999 – June 2022), known online as Technoblade ( TEK-noh-blayd), was an American YouTuber known for his Minecraft videos, livestreams, and involvement in the Dream SMP. Technoblade registered his main channel on YouTube in 2013. His videos consisted primarily of Minecraft gameplay, particularly on the minigame server Hypixel. After rising to popularity in 2019 for his performances in player versus player (PvP) events, Technoblade was invited to the Dream SMP Minecraft server in 2020, further increasing his following.
In August 2021, Technoblade announced his diagnosis with cancer. Following unsuccessful treatment attempts, Technoblade died from metastatic sarcoma in June 2022, which prompted widespread reactions across both the Minecraft and YouTube communities. Around that time, his YouTube channel had reached nearly 11 million subscribers.
Internet career
Technoblade first registered and began uploading on his main YouTube channel on October 28, 2013. Its content focused mainly on the video game Minecraft, particularly gameplay on the minigame server Hypixel. In a video from 2017, Technoblade beat Minecraft on hardcore mode using a racing wheel controller. In another series of videos, beginning with "The Great Potato War" from 2019, he tried to produce the highest number of potatoes in the Hypixel gamemode SkyBlock, competing against rival im_a_squid_kid.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american Minecraft YouTuber (1999–2022)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105396829. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2022, 2013 and 2019.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
