Show Know Your Meme Herobrine was popularized in 2010 by a video game streamer called Copeland in a hoax on Brocraft, his livestream channel of the video game Minecraft. In an email interview with Minecraft administrators, Copeland credits the /v/ thread on Reddit with the origin of Herobrine, who first appears in a creepypasta, a genre of online horror fiction. In the original creepypasta, an anonymous Minecraft user reports running into another character while playing in single-player mode. This other character had “empty” eyes and ran away whenever the user tried to pursue him to get a closer look. The user then noticed small, unexplained occurrences in his world—tunnels, sand pyramids, and trees without leaves—which the user attributed to the spooky, elusive character with the empty eyes. The user created a forum topic to ask if anyone else had had the same experience, but the post was always deleted no matter how many times he tried to publish it. He then received an email from someone calling himself Herobrine telling him to stop posting. Through investigations with another Minecraft forum poster, the user discovered that the brother of Markus Persson (aka Notch), the creator of Minecraft, was named Herobrine. 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 2010, 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. According to the same email thread between Copeland and Minecraft administrators, Minecraft user Patimuss staged his own Herobrine hoax after Copeland’s, repainting a door as the Herobrine figure and “discovering” it in a field of lava during a livestream. 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. Around the time of Patimuss’s hoax, according to the email interview, Copeland posted links to a website in several chat rooms. The website—which included the word “him” in the domain name, the origin for Herobrine’s nickname “HIM”—featured a close-up image of Herobrine’s face: the face of a normal Minecraft character, but with dark, realistic eyes. Under the face was a jumbled-up message that, once decoded, referenced another creepypasta, “Wake Up.” This creepypasta holds that prisoners or victims of trauma retreat into their own minds to evade their personal horrors, and they could only emerge from their fantasy escape world by finding a note in that world that told them to wake up. As the Herobrine legend spread, the character’s supposed powers have also spread. In the original creepypasta, the user reported seeing tunnels, pyramids, and trees stripped of leaves, which were odd in this computer game. Other users who have picked up the story have added more aggressive traits to the character’s toolbox, such as attacking users. 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 2013–14. While Herobrine has never actually existed in vanilla Minecraft, his story has been around for a little over 10 years now. The creepy legend first came to surface in a Minecraft player’s unclear screenshot, in which the player reported to have spotted a figure with white glowing eyes in his singleplayer world. At first, the image was ignored by the Minecraft community but soon, an urban legend was weaved around the mysterious figure. Minecraft players began reporting corruptions in their singleplayer survival gameplay - entire forests with no leaves on the bark, weird structures that could not have naturally spawned in the world, and even manmade 2 × 2 tunnels in underground caves. It so happened that these corruptions became the story of Herobrine. Some Minecraft players even started saying that Herobrine was the dead brother of Notch, the creator of Minecraft. Despite Notch having denied having any brother, dead or alive, some Minecraft fans kept believing that Herobrine was Notch’s brother who had returned to haunt Minecraft. And even without any evidence, the legend of Herobrine kept growing. The story truly took off when the Brocraft streamer, “Copeland” photoshopped a few screenshots of the game to look like Herobrine has haunted his game. In fact, he took the story one step further and even staged a hoax using a live stream video. He started streaming his normal survival world, deliberately avoiding to go into one of the rooms of the build he was working on. Finally, he went into the room that contained a retextured painting to look like Herobrine. Copeland had placed that painting there to fool his audiences. He ended the live stream, kept claiming that he had seen Herobrine and got the desired result of his stream becoming a hot topic. Another streamer by the name of Patimuss ended up using the same trope in one of his videos, where he retextured a door to look like Herobrine was floating in a field of lava. However, the streamer ended up accidentally admitting that it was a hoax in one of his streams and was bombarded with negative comments by the Minecraft community of fans. While these two incidents were eventually proven to be fake, the story of Herobrine had already become too famous. Forums of Minecraft fans began sharing individual screenshots of either corrupted worlds or of Herobrine himself. Many Minecraft players claimed to have seen Herobrine haunting their world, but ultimately, none of these claims had any truth to them. Throughout Minecraft’s history many popular content creators began adding their own spin to the story of Herobrine. Many adventure map makers, popular YouTube personalities (like Yoggscast), and even the developers themselves were mentioning the ghostly figure of Herobrine. Mojang often confirmed that they had never added an entity such as Herobrine to the game and neither did they plan on doing so in the future. However, Herobrine had become so massively popular that even Mojang jumped in on the game and started adding the words “Removed Herobrine” to every changelog of every update to the game. That is until the Minecraft 1.16 update came around, just in time for Herobrine’s 10th anniversary, that for the first time since 2010, Mojang had not added the words “Removed Herobrine” to the changelog of the update. And as expected, this one change in Mojang’s pattern left the community wondering about the existence of Herobrine.
 Herobrine Herobrine ( /ˈhɛroʊˌbraɪn/ HEH-roh-bryn) is the subject of a community-made creepypasta. He is one of the major community icons of Minecraft, yet Herobrine has not been present in any version of Minecraft. The first story and image ever posted about Herobrine, as well as the Brocraft stream, are regarded as canonical. Things posted after these two events are considered fan-made adaptations and variations. ExistenceHerobrine is not in unmodded Minecraft, and never has been. There are no references to him at all in the source code, and there is no code to allow for any entity to act like Herobrine. It is not possible for Herobrine to have ever existed in any unmodded clients or servers. Any appearances of Herobrine are caused by either mods being installed or because of another player using the skin. Origins and popularityThe image Copeland edited, which led to him starting the hoax stream History of Herobrine Herobrine's first video "appearance" on Brocraft Above scene recreated in high quality Zoomed-in picture of Herobrine in the original. The image all Brocraft viewers were redirected to at the end of the Herobrine stream From the original creepypasta, Herobrine creates random constructions, such as sand pyramids in oceans and long 2×2 tunnels. He also cuts off all the leaves from trees. Herobrine first appeared in a single image detailing an encounter. The first photo of Herobrine's first canonical sighting was posted on 4chan's paranormal board, /x/, in August 2010, but gained little attention. It stated how Herobrine had appeared in someone's single-player game, littering the map with various pyramids and tunnels. The post has since been deleted.[1] It is the first media to name him as Herobrine. It was only later that Herobrine grew in popularity, when the Brocraft streamer "Copeland" photoshopped Herobrine into several screenshots to show to his chat. He had recently taken a liking to the story, and wished to be a part of it. After getting largely good reactions, he decided to stage a hoax. He has explained exactly how that took place in an email.[2] Copeland had played through the world as a normal lets-player would, deliberately avoiding the work-in-progress room he had set up for the hoax. Herobrine was introduced to the stream 20 minutes and 45 seconds in. He is confirmed to be a retextured painting. Copeland then screamed and ran out of the room, promptly ending the stream. Copeland pretended to be shaken up in the chat, and later posted a message onto the forums, linking to the video to spread it around, in the hope to get similar reactions.[3] After a while, Copeland removed the painting and reverted to normal textures. He proceeded to stream further, pretending to be scared. He announced that he would delete the world to never meet Herobrine again. Later on, Patimuss made a video showing Herobrine in a user-made lava field. This Herobrine was free-standing, unlike the previous video. Due to this, it is likely he was a retextured door. The livestream went down after Patimuss ran away and saved his game, only to resume ten minutes later, where Herobrine had disappeared. Later on, during the second stream, Patimuss can be heard talking to his wife, stating he was trolling. This flooded the livestream chat with outrage. He then faked a game crash. Copeland disliked that Patimuss outed Herobrine as a fake. It is unknown when exactly it happened in relation to Patimuss's video, but Copeland then posted links in chat, leading to http://ghostinthestream.net/him.html (archive). This is likely where the nickname "Him" originated from. The page features Steve's face, but with real, frantically rolling eyes in the place of his block eyes, modified to be completely black. Below the face, there are a jumble of characters and letters. After removing all non-alphabet characters, the following message is revealed:
The message keeps telling the viewer to "wake up", implying they're living in a fantasy world, and this text hidden in the page is their "note". The above text is from another creepypasta, entitled "Wake Up".[4] The stream proceeded later with no further Herobrine sightings. Copeland continued to adamantly state Herobrine was real for about a year onwards. The wiki asked Copeland several questions regarding the event, which are located here. Since the stream, there has been a huge increase in his popularity, propelling Herobrine to meme status, and making him an icon of the community. There are several mods, animations, pieces of artwork and constructions of Herobrine that have been created. Description
This section needs cleanup to comply with the style guide. [discuss] Please help improve this page. The talk page may contain suggestions. BiographyHerobrine is said to be Notch's dead brother, somehow embedded into Minecraft. However, this is also completely false in reality, as Notch never had a brother.[5] AppearanceCanonicalHerobrine is a human entity, with the player skin of Steve. Unlike Steve, his eyes are completely white, with no visible irises or pupils. In Copeland's livestream, he had the beard seen in Steve's original design. In the original Herobrine image, however, the beard appears to be absent. CommunityHerobrine 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. Interaction within MinecraftCanonicalHerobrine is able to build and destroy in Minecraft. The original image states the player found long 2×2 tunnels, small pyramids in the middle of the ocean and trees with no leaves. 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. CommunityHerobrine has, on occasion, interacted with other mobs. He is sometimes able to take control of passive animals, and revive/spawn undead 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.[citation needed] VariationsHerobrine'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. CanonicalIn the Stalker variation, he stalks the player, disappearing if approached. This variation is derived from his origins. CommunityIn 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. SpawningCanonicalIn both the original creepypasta and the brocraft streams, Herobrine appears in the world without any apparent cause, and his presence is not implied to be due to a player’s actions. In the creepypasta he seems to avoid the player and appears to only be active in unexplored areas, whereas in the streams he seems to intentionally get close to players and appears mainly near player constructions. CommunityA typical Herobrine shrine. A popular idea in the community is that Herobrine can be "summoned" through the use of a special arrangement of blocks, such as a "Herobrine shrine" or "Herobrine altar", a 3×3 horizontal square of gold blocks, with a block of netherrack placed on top and 4 redstone torches placed upright on each side. The block beneath the netherrack varies between versions, with common choices being mossy cobblestone, soul sand, more netherrack or more gold. Igniting the netherrack is supposed to "activate" the structure, which then supposedly summons Herobrine into the world. Building any structures claimed to be able to summon Herobrine in vanilla Minecraft does not actually summon Herobrine. Addition to MinecraftNotch 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".[6] This confirmed there was no Herobrine, but suggested "Notch planned to add him at a later date". 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".[citation needed] 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.[7] Current stance on HerobrineAs Minecraft passed on from Notch to Jeb, the chance of Herobrine appearing in an update was unclear. On 22 August 2012, Dinnerbone, current joint developer of Minecraft, tweeted "We have no plans at all to add herobrine. I doubt this will ever change."[8] 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. CameosMojang media appearancesHerobrine in the Wedding Weekend promo image Herobrine in the MINECON 2011 header Herobrine on the MINECON 2011 Xbox 360 stand Herobrine in Mojang Studios' "summer picnic" Facebook cover photo The Herobrine statue from MINECON, now owned by Zaralith Herobrine in the LEGO Minecraft Micro World booklet. Herobrine has appeared in official Mojang images as an in-joke. His first appearance in official Mojang images started with the Wedding Weekend, in which he was just behind Notch's Minecraft character. His second appearance was in the MINECON header, where, yet again, Herobrine was just behind Notch. Herobrine also appeared in the the official MINECON trailer, created by Hatfilms, at 3:11. However, as users were asked to submit their skins to appear in the trailer, this is likely not intentional. Herobrine was also spotted at the Xbox section of MINECON. He was on the board, behind the Xbox stations. During MINECON's closing, a user named Zaralith won the Herobrine statue by answering the give-away question "How many Fable games are there?" correctly. 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. ChangelogsHerobrine was first stated to have been removed in Beta 1.6.6. 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. Ever since, the Minecraft update changelog included the entry "Removed Herobrine" at least once every update cycle as a running gag, with the sole exception of Java Edition 1.1. Launcher changelogIn the changelog of Minecraft Launcher version 2.2.176x, the developers say that they "removed Herobrine from Java Alpha 1.0.16_02". Xbox 360 changelogIn an update for Xbox 360 on July 13, 2012, Herobrine was removed from the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft for the first time. Legacy Console EditionOn the Legacy Console Editions, Herobrine is mentioned on one of the splash messages.[9] Herobrine is part of a skin pack, released on the Legacy Console Editions. Because of this skin addition, "sightings" have risen drastically. However, all Herobrines on the Xbox are simply players using the Herobrine skin. Herobrine then made another appearance in the 3rd skin pack for the Xbox version, where a "Zombie Herobrine" skin is available. ScrollsIn the latest update for the game Scrolls, 0.103.0, Herobrine being removed was in the change log miscellaneous section.[10] Minecraft EarthOn the Minecraft Earth FAQ site, Herobrine used to be mentioned in one of the frequently asked questions about Minecraft Earth.[11] However, this has since been removed from the FAQ. The question was "Is Herobrine in this game too?" and the answer given is "<REDACTED>" Mojang reactionsMojang has, albeit rarely, shared their views on Herobrine. Their reactions have varied from plainly stating that he does not exist to Notch saying he appears only when players ask him. Notch
