He has also made older videos of him doing things like cooking and green screen content showing his YouTube awards. Hypixel continues to be his main means of obtaining views.

Technoblade is well-known throughout the Minecraft community for his skill in PVP (player-versus-player) combat. He has earned the [PIG+++] rank on Hypixel for winning the Minecraft Monday tournament four times. He has collaborated many times with other famous YouTubers, many of which have been through Minecraft Monday, some of whom were teammates during said event.

In late November 2019, he joined a Minecraft server named SMP Earth, a Factions server where an assortment of YouTubers plays survival on a 3000:1 recreation of the Earth. Technoblade has also begun streaming different games aside from Minecraft, such as the popular Minecraft spin-off "Minecraft Story Mode", and "Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord", which consists of 5 streams as of June 15. During the Potato War, Technoblade has made multiple alternative Minecraft accounts such as Asiyn, Whitelisted, Whitelisted 2, PommesDeTerre, NoHaxCanJustFly, Ender_Gamer09, and BizarreZzz.

Technoblade also often plays Hypixel's version of Skyblock, often featuring his friends, or co-op members, Jiyn, TimeDeo and xHascox. Technoblade has made an entire series of Hypixel Skyblock..(Most known for the Fastest man alive and taking #1 potato rank from a Im_a_squid_kid).

Technoblade has made a reference to a younger brother, although it is unclear if he is talking about Chris or if he has another brother. He also has a small dog named Floof.

Technoblade took fencing in middle school. He resided in California for most of the beginning of his YouTube career, attending and graduating high school in the state. In middle 2018, after his gap year, Technoblade moved to Chicago, Illinois for college as a English major for over a year, before moving back to San Francisco after dropping out. He said in one of his Q&A videos from 2016 that his parents were divorced. He currently lives with his father, as revealed in a stream when he forgot to mute his microphone. It was also revealed that his father owns a movie studio.

Techno has made multiple references in his commentary videos and tweets about having ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). He has ADHD, confirmed on a Hypixel Forum post from September 27, 2013.

Techno briefly reveals his face in his 100,000 subscriber special, "Cooking with Technoblade" videos and at the end of his "playing minecraft hardcore with a steering wheel" stream. He is 6'2.5" (189 centimeters) tall, but rounds it to 6'3". He is an atheist.

Cancer Diagnosis

On August 27, 2021, Technoblade uploaded a video titled "where I’ve been" in which he revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer in early August after feeling pain and swelling in his right arm. The cancer was detected early by doctors, and Techno is currently focused on getting chemotherapy treatments. Later in the video, he urged his viewers to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and take necessary precautions, since he is now immunocompromised and at higher risk. Since his announcement, he has received support from content creators Dream, DanTDM, CaptainSparklez, and other members of the Dream SMP. So is Roblox YouTubers KreekCraft, HelloItsVG and Ryguyrocky. The hashtag #TechnoSupport soon trended on Twitter and other social media platforms.

In the following Minecraft Championship, in which Technoblade did not participate, Dream decided to match every point his team got and donating that amount in dollars to cancer research. Dream was able to raise roughly $21,000 for cancer research. Before the event started, Skeppy, Awesamdude, Finnster, TapL and Grian agreed to individually donate whatever Dream donated as well. Between the five of them, roughly $105,000 was donated. Aqua Axolotls (Antfrost, Fundy, Tubbo and 5up) agreed to donate $50 every time they swear.

History

Studio Lore

Before the creation of his main YouTube channel, "Technoblade", he published videos on a channel he created many years ago named "StudioLore", in which he posted a very small amount of irregular low-quality Team Fortress 2 videos and one Roblox Sword Fight On The Heights video. In his time on this channel, he accumulated around 50 subscribers. Technoblade was around the age of 13 when he published videos on his older channel. He has only mentioned this older channel in his 1 million subscriber's special video and talks about it in detail.

Dream SMP

Technoblade joined the Dream SMP on September 23, 2020. He coined himself as an Anarchist, and was convinced by TommyInnit and Wilbur Soot to help them overthrow the corrupt government of the city of L'Manburg, led by jschlatt and Quackity. However, when Tommy's side thought the war was over, Wilbur pressed a button that set off loads of buried TNT, which resulted in the destruction of a large part of L'Manburg. When Tommy tried to organize a new government to take control, Technoblade turned against them, since he wanted a society without any governments, and him and Dream went on a killing spree. He was banished from L'Manburg, and retired to a faraway land, putting his dreams of anarchy across the server on hold, but secretly preparing for a next war.

He later found the now-banished TommyInnit squatting in his house. Tommy was hiding from Dream, and wanted Technoblade's help to get back some Music Discs that had sentimental value to him. When the new L'Manburg government sent a hit squad after Technoblade, Techno decided to end his retirement, and teamed up with Dream to destroy L'Manburg once and for all. TommyInnit, who wasn't willing to go that far, betrayed Techno and joined the other side, but Technoblade and Dream pulled off their plan and annihilated the city. Shortly after the war, Technoblade formed an alliance with Ranboo, Niki Nihachu, and Ph1LzA. As the influence of the mysterious mind-controlling entity known as "The Egg" spread across the remains of L'Manburg, Technoblade's group grew further with people intent on acting against it.
