The video game Minecraft recently released its newest update, and it’s going over pretty well with fans of the online sandbox game. One of the biggest new additions to the game in the 1.9 update is an in-game tribute to one of the most popular YouTube personalities on the site, StampyCat. While there have been many YouTubers who have voiced characters in the game, this may be one of the first times that an actual Minecraft structure has been built to honor someone who has been an influence on a lot of people’s gaming habits.

The recent update to Minecraft included an in-game tribute to a popular YouTuber. The YouTuber, who goes by the name of ProJared, has been playing Minecraft for years and has amassed a large following. The tribute consists of a statue of ProJared in the game’s world. This is a great way for the developers to show their appreciation for ProJared and his contributions to the game. Although many people have mixed feelings about this addition, they cannot deny that it is pretty cool.
It should be noted that Mojang has recently made it possible for players to submit their own tributes.

The Yogscast say they were blown away by the video game dedication
The popular YouTubers, who go by the name The Yogscast, were paid tribute by the video game Minecraft this week. The game’s developers added an in-game character that resembles one of the members of the group. The move was made in response to a recent video the Yogscast made about Minecraft. We were completely blown away when we saw it, said Simon Lane, one of the members of the group. It’s just so cool that our work is being recognized like this. It also shows how much Minecraft players love what we do, which is really humbling. We can’t wait to see more of these types of things!
The game developer received media coverage from BBC News, Wired, PC Gamer and more
The game developer, known for his work on the popular game Minecraft, has received media coverage from a number of outlets. BBC News, Wired, PC Gamer and more have all written stories on the in-game tribute that was added to Minecraft. The YouTuber, who has over ten million subscribers, was honoured with the in-game tribute after his death earlier this year. After being trolled by hackers before his passing, he asked for some kind of memorial to be made within the game he had helped create. As per requests, Mojang added a cave adorned with artwork by one of the gamer’s fans – it contains what seems to be gravesites and other small references to the YouTuber’s life within it.
Yogscast have 6.6 million subscribers on YouTube and are one of the most subscribed channels on the platform
The British YouTube gaming group Yogscast has been around since 2008, and in that time, they’ve amassed a whopping 6.6 million subscribers. That’s impressive enough on its own, but what’s even more impressive is that they’re one of the most subscribed channels on the platform. And as it turns out,

Minecraft is paying tribute to them in their newest update. In the forthcoming 1.2 update, there will be an NPC named Simon who bears an uncanny resemblance to Simon Lane from Yogscast.
While some media outlets have been critical about it being a marketing stunt
It’s no secret that YouTube stars have a huge influence over the games industry. YouTubers with millions of subscribers can make or break a game with their word-of-mouth. So when one of the most popular YouTubers, PewDiePie, announced he was playing Minecraft again, it came as no surprise that the game’s developers would want to show their appreciation. They added in an in-game tribute for the Swedish gamer, who has nearly 40 million subscribers on his channel.
The memorial featured a sign reading Pewdiepie Memorial, and it allowed players to leave messages and add videos onto the video board.
Reactions from other prominent YouTubers such as JackSepticEye
JackSepticEye, one of the most popular YouTubers with over 22 million subscribers, was one of the first to react to the news. He called it a wonderful tribute and said that he was honored to be included in the game. Other popular YouTubers, such as PewDiePie and Markiplier, also reacted positively to the news, calling it a cool and amazing gesture by Minecraft developer Mojang. It is unclear if this will have any impact on the relationship between YouTube and the developers, who have been at odds for some time now.

Other gaming companies such as CD Projekt Red (the company behind Cyberpunk 2077), have made similar moves for fans.
It’s always nice to see a company give back to its community, and that’s exactly what Minecraft did for one of its most popular YouTubers. The YouTuber, who goes by the name of Mumbo Jumbo, has been creating content for the game for years, and it’s great to see that his efforts have been recognized. This is a heartwarming story, and it’s great to see companies giving back to their most dedicated fans. Mumbo Jumbo deserves this acknowledgement, so we can’t wait to see what he does next!
