I love how back then we were absolutely scared of him but now we treat him like an old friend

[whalebone]

the nostalgia is real, dude. these old mods, ideas, youtubers. Literally takes me back to being 9 and 10 again.

If you truly want to experience Herobrine like you’ve always thought it’d feel like, search up the mod “From the fog”. It adds herobrine… but he never attacks you like other herobrine mobs. He will vanish as soon as the game detects that you see him

[isaiah]

As a mod Dev, the most supported theory is it was a glitch in the code that led to the old human mob spawning in the fog, with the fog covering the eyes. This is also supported by Notch, as the Removed Herobrine changelog was a reference to the human mob code being removed.

Personally I like to think Herobrine isn’t some malevolent entity that wants to kill/terrify you. I think he’s just an odd presence that made itself a home in the game, and doesn’t actually want to harm the player but wants to make its presence known to them (eg. leaveless trees, pyramids in the ocean and tunnels). However he doesn’t seem to realize that these activities scare the players that bear witness to them, and therefore keeps doing it in order to make contact, unaware that he’s scaring the players away.

This story will forever give me goosebumps whenever I hear about it.

Foggy, low quality Minecraft, 4chan, a year where weird things went down, old live-streaming services.. it’s all just so creepy to me.

Yeah ik hero brine wasn’t real but 8 year old me wasn’t scared of hero brine coming to kill me, but just the fact that some other Steve like creature was with me, and I wasn’t alone.

I think at this point, Herobrine should be added every Halloween as an event.

[theknight]

although herobrine is not actually in the game, he will always be a part of minecraft

[Sheashay]

Herobrine is also prominently featured in a lot of Minecraft official novels, so that’s also something that can contribute to his staying power

"Herobrine" is how one man fooled an entire generation.

[SuperWiiBros]

I really wonder if the creator of that original herobrine post will ever reveal himself and explain how they did and came up with everything

[ernestkhvostov]

Man what a time to be alive. Truly was a unique era.

[Bilbo_Swaggins]

I find it funny that stuff like "summoning herobrine" has become more of a joke in the community instead of being forgotten

[ummmhelp]

I was so scarred of him as a child on x-box 360 I intentionally made my world as anti herobrine as possible adding bs I thought would "stop him"

[mrsurge]

I've always wondered why the creator of the Herobrine story and the character has never come forward to discuss their creation, give interviews, answer questions, interact with the community, etc.. Honestly seems like they booted up the internet, wrote a Minecraft horror story and then left. I hope one day they resurface, it would be an absolute treat to get an insight into how the character and story were conceived and their reaction to Herobrine's popularity

[saneindividual]

In every update of Minecraft the notes say 'Removed Herobrine'

Except the most recent update...

[phobics]

This is a pretty significant case of the butterfly effect, like just imagine. The person who posted that single screenshot easily could have decided not to and then, the word herobrine would have never been known by the wide minecraft audience. Something so trivial as a creepypasta in alpha massively impacted minecraft culture and content creation(mainly the early pre-2015 period). Just makes you think of the other times someone said "nah I wont post this" and just think of how many weird things could have happened with the slightest changes in history but just... don't.

[CohenDyck]

imagine waking up every morning knowing that you created herobrine

[spamtongspamton]

how to make a creepypasta:
1) find the sprites or textures of a character
2) change the eye color
3) done

[RapidPhantom]

I miss those days where everyone would hunt for Herobrine
