Dream SMP

Joining the Server

The Dream SMP was hosted by YouTuber Dream and featured numerous popular Minecraft creators. Technoblade joined in 2020, at the height of his tournament fame, and immediately became one of the server’s most formidable presences: a character who could not be defeated in combat and could not be persuaded to care about anyone’s nation-building.

The Blade Persona

On the server he played a stoic warrior — “The Blade” — who treated governments as targets and loyalty as a personal matter rather than a political one. The persona leaned on his real competitive reputation: when Technoblade pulled out a crossbow on the Dream SMP, everyone involved knew the man behind the keyboard had a $100,000 trophy at home. The catchphrase “Blood for the Blood God!” originated in this era and spread across the entire community.

The Dream Rivalry

Technoblade and Dream shared a friendly rivalry and were both generally regarded as the best Minecraft players of their era. In August 2020, MrBeast hosted a series of PvP duels between them with a $100,000 prize; Technoblade won. On the server itself, the rivalry appeared in roleplay — most famously in December 2020, when Dream came to Technoblade’s cabin looking for the exiled TommyInnit.
