UK YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and Minecraft creator Tommy "TommyInnit" has confirmed that the upcoming Minecraft movie will include a Technoblade reference. Alexander "Technoblade" is often considered one of the faces of the Minecraft community; he tragically passed away in June 2022. He died due to cancer, specifically metastatic sarcoma.

A Minecraft Movie, released globally on April 4, 2025, is said to include an easter egg involving the late gamer. Fellow Minecraft gamer TommyInnit heavily suggested this and wrote:

"Man, the techno reference thank you @Minecraft"

During the interview with Olafsson, TommyInnit asked:

"You said you have not spoken about this in any interview, but I feel like it's probably good to talk with me. Is there a Technoblade reference in the film?"

"Yes. That felt like the right thing to do, and you gonna have to see it too."

TommyInnit replied:

"That is awesome. Thank you."
