The name herobrine gives me so much nostalgia, i miss the good old days

[elgrandosmokio]

I played creative for 4 years because I was scared of herobrine and I tought cave noises was herobrine

[altonix]

Herobrine was our childhood nightmare. But now he's an old friend.

[mr.epicmemerman]

He scared me as a kid yet I was so interested in his existence. Now I love Herobrine. He's forever a part of our childhood.

[cd]

imagine you have a dead brother and your fans start making creepy pasta about him in your game.

[GranddukeofWales]

I remeber watching hero brine sightings as a kid and trying to build a shrine
Those were simpler times

“Herobrine”
Minecraft Veterans: “Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.”

[iinanomaniac]

I actually quit Minecraft because I was scared I’d find Herobrine. Every cave sound I heard resulted in me deleting the world. Because of Minecraft’s eerie atmosphere when you first start the game, I still to this day swear I see something lurking within the trees. Maybe one day Mojang will remove Herobrine; he keeps adding himself back in our thoughts and childhood trauma.

*Who is Herobrine?*

***HOW is Herobrine?***

[yeetus]

“Turn off the lights”
Yeah hold on let me just turn off the sun real quick

[smellthel]

Imagine if he was in a lost version of Minecraft

It's been 12 years and yet Herobrine still terrifies me. I can't explain why. I'm a fully grown adult and this niche video game creepypasta from my childhood still freaks me out....

[mustacheman]

I remember playing very early pocket edition with my siblings years ago. While they weren't looking, I dug a cave with a sign in it called Herobrine's base, and changed my name to Herobrine and attacked them, saying that Herobrine had possessed my character, and that I couldn't do anything. They were terrified, and kept trying to kill me in hopes of removing Herobrine from the world. They were very mad when they learned I was trolling them...

[abigaellindsay]

just me that still gets scared when listening about him, i used to try summon him when i was younger too. even if he is fake it still scares the shit outta me😂

[aizel]

Back then, i accidentally reduced rendering distance and that covered my world with deep fog.
10 years old me was so much terrified.
I blocked every cave, believing monsters are coming from there.
I made a whole transition system consisting of beacons and guarding golems.
A hordes of dogs followed me everywhere.
And every village i met was surrounded by my huge stone walls.

Few months have passed. My paranoia was growing up each day, making my "The last stand versus Herobrine" plan more extensive, with more dogs and golems.

Until I accidentally repaired rendering distance.
*The End*

Herobrine is like an old ghost story that’s passed down from generation to generation of players.

My girlfriend’s brother is younger than the legend of Herobrine; he’s about 10. At one point I spent a whole day setting up a prank where in a realm, I put signs around his base, took leaves off of his trees, and renamed a zombie to Herobrine. Cue me jumping into the pit containing the zombie with no gear over and over again, showing a death message of “Lavinia was slain by Herobrine”.

Kinda freaked him out. He started fortifying his base.

I think it’s a fun story. A cryptid that most adults know isn’t truly real, but we tell children the stories anyway, because it’s a fun tale to tell.

“Herobrine ?” *drags cigarette and sips coffee* “Haven’t heard that name in ages..”

[ianeons]

Hero brine went from being actually scary to being on clickbaity X-rated monster school videos.

[fionamation]

"Dada?"
"Yes?"
"Whats Herobrine"
"Now thats a name I haven't heard in years"

[zy]

I never saw the original iteration of Herobrine as evil, just someone (or something) that watches from the fog with curiosity.
