The tipster played Minecraft in high school and, as a game designer, is well-versed in gaming culture. She, unlike many others, first found out about Herobrine from a friend and not from the internet. Informant: “From my understanding – Sorry, I’m going to make a little noise. Okay. Herobrine, as I understand it, is, yes, it’s like the Minecraft uhh… the Minecraft ghost? He has like white eyes and people say that… I don’t know, does he behave similar to Slenderman? Like he just showed up. Um, I don’t remember if he does something bad to you. I do not think it does? But, there are screenshots that are, like, very obviously edited. Um, but those got a lot of traction, and then mods came out that had an actual Herobrine, but I’m pretty sure it was just, like, another mod skinned to look like Herobrine… But I remember being a little freaked out about it, every time I’d play at night and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, what if I woke up in the middle of the night and instead of a zombie… being on top of my bed in Minecraft is Herobrine’ and I’d be like, ‘OH SHIT! , LOOKS LIKE ME! Except he has white eyes!’ And that was about it, like, how deep the lore went for me. And I loved it, I don’t know.”

Alpha version 1.2.3_03 of Minecraft is one of the versions where Herobrine made his first appearances, there is a lot of speculation as to how Herbronie came about, whether it came from a file or was developed on purpose, but the truth is that since Alpha 1.2.6_01 and Alpha version 1.2.6_02, there are already stories of his appearance.

Minecraft: How to Summon Herobrine

Longtime Minecraft fans are nodding their heads at this point. Herobrine isn’t actually a real Minecraft secret; he’s the subject of a piece of online “creepypasta” that’s had its own weird half-life, thanks to Minecraft’s huge community and a particularly notorious streamer prank in 2010. While Herobrine has become well known enough to that Minecraft developers occasionally make a reference to it, it’s never actually been in the game.

Of course, that’s what you’d expect it to say. I’m probably involved in the conspiracy… or just afraid of it. He believes what you want.

Who exactly is Herobrine?

Herobrine is a Minecraft ghost that haunts single player environments, according to lore. He may have the appearance of a typical Steve, Minecraft’s original default character look, but you’ll recognize him by his white eyes. Even if you never see him, you’ll know he’s there if you see weird 2×2 tunnels in your mines. He could be the one digging them. If he sees glass gone from around him or tree trunks with all their leaves removed, it could also be his work. He can also appear as a cow or sheep with white eyes.

Some people think he’s a ghost, the dead brother of the creator of Minecraft, while others think he’s just a miner who died and came back to take revenge on living players.

Why is Herobrine so powerful?

Herobrine is absolute immortality and, although he is completely immune to death, he is truly unkillable. He can also turn invisible without drinking an invisibility potion. Ridiculously powerful physical attributes. …Herobrine has telepathic abilities, allowing her to communicate between minds and read minds.

No, both are urban legends. Herobrine originally started as a Creepypasta (online scary story). According to the Minecraft Wiki, Herobrine is the spirit of Notch’s dead brother, somehow embedded in the Minecraft code. Neither Herobrine nor Entity 303 are present in the Minecraft source code.
