Some of the people who had encountered the mystery man had looked into the name Herobrine and found that name to be frequently used by a Swedish gamer.
After some further information gathering, it was revealed to be the brother of Notch, the game's developer. I personally emailed Notch, and asked him if he had a brother. It took him a while, but he emailed me back a very short message:. I haven't seen the mystery man since our first encounter, and I haven't noticed any changes to the world other than my own. My name is Nitro. I can also relate to the story above. So,what happened is I had just spawned in and started cutting down trees.
I was on single player,then I saw it,him. He ran past my screen and scared the crap out of me. Later after I built my house I went mining. I was super deep down and as soon as I placed a torch I saw him looking at me. I was so scared because it felt like the Minecraft devil staring at my soul. I left as fast as possible. Later I decided to try to make a Minecraft forum. I tried a lot more times until on my Xbox I received this message:.
Milsom's, Herobrine is back and you're done nothing about it. You're putting Minecraft at risk and if nothing is done is 3 days I'm sorry but well have to send someone else for the rewards.
Which will be amazing goods worth lots of money. You're failing us. Herobrine has bright white eyes that glow in the darkness, as if they are a light source compare with the eyes of endermen , spiders and cave spiders ; which appear brighter than their surroundings without actually emitting light. Herobrine can sometimes be seen holding tools, such as pickaxes.
This stems from the widespread community belief that Herobrine was a miner. Usually, his hands are empty.
Herobrine is often portrayed by the community as a dead miner, killed long before the player's arrival. His appearance, however, does not suggest either of these are the case.
However, with Minecraft's mineshafts and strongholds , as well as mining being a large part of the game, the game itself has shaped public perception of the character to suit this persona.
Herobrine is said to have the ability to run in Minecraft. This is indicated by the original source. The Brocraft stream portrays him as almost always stood up straight, with arms to his sides, watching the player. He is not seen to physically move within the Brocraft stream, but he moves location during the stream. It is unknown if Herobrine can swim , use minecarts , boats or Nether portals.
Like most ghosts, it is likely he simply has no use for most methods of transportation. Much like angered Endermen , Herobrine is widely believed to move via teleportation. Nearly all of the community actually reject the canon, describing him as running. Herobrine cannot fly, and no variation states this as "canonical". However, he appears to be able to glide.
Which is to say, moving in directions without physically moving, while not moving upwards. This is usually evident in retreating back into fog. Herobrine is often portrayed with his head crooked or twitching.
Herobrine is able to build and destroy in Minecraft. The full extent of Herobrine's building capacity is unknown, but the given examples indicate Herobrine has awareness of shape, and can differentiate materials from each other.
Herobrine shows a lot of characteristics of being a form of virus, such as manipulating game worlds, deleting threads and sending messages through the Minecraft Forums. Herobrine seems to solely target human players. He did not seem to interact with any other mobs nearby in the Brocraft stream, some of which were spiders and zombies. His canonical relation to further mobs added since he appeared is a complete mystery. His interactions with other mobs is not mentioned in the original image.
While there is a chicken present in the image, Herobrine does not seem interested in it at all, and is solely focused on the player. Herobrine has, on occasion, interacted with other mobs. Herobrine seems able to drastically change his environments with no viable source of resources to do so.
Most expansions to his abilities involves cobblestone placing, dungeon building, using redstone torches and setting traps. He exhibits all the behaviors of a Creative player in the game. Herobrine seems unable to enter the Nether , or the End. Herobrine's intentions vary, but they usually fall under two categories. One variation is based on pure community interpretation, while the other, based on the canon.
In the Stalker variation, he stalks the player, disappearing if approached. This variation is derived from his origins. In the Vengeful variation, he tries to ensnare the player in traps, presumably to steal their items. He waits for people to enter his dungeons, then either seals them inside, or teleports behind them, presumably killing them. Some rarer variations of this particular version says he breaks the player's creations, and steals their items from chests.
This variation is likely inspired by griefers and trolls. Notch posted on Twitter about the subject of Herobrine, early in his popularity boost. In reply to a tweet asking if Herobrine was a real entity in-game, Notch replied saying that he was not, but that there "might be soon". Due to increased drama surrounding the Herobrine page, a wiki administrator asked Notch over IRC if Herobrine would ever be added, to which Notch replied "i [ sic ] have no plans of adding herobrine as is, but I do like the rumors, haha".
This shows Notch has decided against adding Herobrine. However, the fact that "as is" suggested that something like Herobrine may be added, fueling beliefs he will be added even further. So, once again, the same user asked for clarification, saying that the Minecraft community was "getting frustrated by the hero-spam", to which Notch replied that he had no plans for adding Herobrine into the game.
As Minecraft passed on from Notch to Jeb , the chance of Herobrine appearing in an update was unclear. On 22 August , Dinnerbone , current joint developer of Minecraft , tweeted "We have no plans at all to add herobrine. I doubt this will ever change. This confirms that Herobrine will never see an official release in Minecraft , and that any claims of "finding" Herobrine in vanilla Minecraft in future updates are completely unfounded.
His first appearance in official Mojang images started with the Wedding Weekend, in which he was just behind Notch's Minecraft character. However, as users were asked to submit their skins to appear in the trailer, this is likely not intentional. He was on the board, behind the Xbox stations. Some users point to this as proof of his future addition.
However, there is no proof he is being portrayed for anything other than baiting fans. Herobrine also appeared in Minecraft's Facebook page, the image being the Cover Photo. It is notable to state the image was created by the fan for a competition, with the theme of "summer picnic", hence his inclusion may not be fully intentional.
Herobrine was first stated to have been removed in Beta 1. This was a joke, referring to Notch partially removing the human mob's essential code, making it unspawnable within Minecraft. An ulterior motive was to troll the community, as this was around the time Herobrine had gained memetic status within the community.
The user says that when questioned about his alleged brother, Notch replied that his brother was dead and presumably haunting the game. Notch has since denied this claim. In , Copeland says, he took the creepypasta into his Brocraft stream by photoshopping an image of Herobrine , whose empty eyes look like they are eerily and menacingly glowing, onto the wall of one of his houses in the game. During a livestream, he walked into the room, screamed at the sight of the figure, then left the room and shut down the livestream.
Copeland then spread the video of the livestream around forums and chatrooms, which spread the legend of Herobrine. Soon afterward, though, he was heard on livestream talking to his wife about staging the hoax. Minecraft users, including Copeland, expressed frustration when this hoax was exposed.
In the original creepypasta, the user reported seeing tunnels, pyramids, and trees stripped of leaves, which were odd in this computer game. Copeland pretended Herobrine was real for about a year as other users expanded the creepypasta on their own. Notch has since denied that Herobrine was ever in the game and shut down discussions about adding the creepypasta to the game in the future.
Interest in Herobrine on Google Trends peaked in — Books have been written by fans of Herobrine , and figurines of the character have also been put up for sale. Some users have published modified versions of Minecraft that introduce Herobrine to the game, and a number of official Minecraft forums are dedicated to ideas about how to integrate him into the official game.
