Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade has died aged 23, his family have confirmed this in a touching goodbye video that was posted on his behalf.

The video, titled "solong geeks", was posted to his 10 million followers and showed his father calling him "the best kid anyone could ever wish for".

The US internet personality became famous for livestreaming and posting clips of him playing the sandbox videogame.

Technoblade announced to his fans last year that he was diagnosed with cancer.

His father read his farewell message a few hours before his passing. It began with "Hello everyone, Technoblade here." This is what you should be seeing. I am dead."

He then admitted that his real name was Alex. He also recalled the moment he tricked viewers into believing his name to be Dave.

"Thank you all for your support of my content over the years," he continued. "If I had another hundred years, I'm sure Technoblade would be my top choice again. Those were the best years of my life."

The online star who took home Minecraft tournaments, and had thousands of fans talking about him in a funny way while playing the game, revealed in a February video for fundraising that he received chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a limb rescue operation following the development of a painful tumor.

Sarcoma, a rare form of bone and soft tissue cancer was the cause of his death.
