How I Survived HEROBRINE in Hardcore Minecraft 

Please enjoy the video, because I did NOT enjoy surviving this

I love how when forge hears something creepy. He immediately resorts to going outside and searching for the source of the sound. Truly intelligent behavior.

A man as brave as you going out in the woods to record an intro that's unnecessary for a minecraft video, I consider that a thumbs up and a recommendation!

The fact that they made the Herobrine AI smart enough to register the player's shelter and look in the windows is both really impressive and so so scary 😂 I LOVE it

I love how there's like 40 minutes of you anticipating something scary and nothing happening so you feel insane.

If you loved “Sean makes a cool house to the sounds of medieval peasants dying from the plague” you definitely won’t wanna miss “Sean makes a cool house as reality deteriorates around him”

This world feels like a time paradox. Everything's old yet new at the same time. Like a bizarre, surreal dream that inevitably shifts into a nightmare.

1:11:20 You know that torch problem you were having earlier? This is why you keep losing torches: you just leave them lying around as you make your way to another cave and to never go back to the same cave again.

The way this mod starts so slow with the spooky is perfect. It builds the tension perfectly

I love the fact that after watching the monster break down his doors, he runs away and then tries to hide behind a different set of doors.

I love how Sean's community is basically us spending 2+ hours of watching a man play minecraft very badly and somehow winning

1:24:36 I love that Sean has gotten to the point where he doesnt feel like he needs to justify why he kept the video after dying in hardcore lol.

I love how with the first 7 days, things seemed fine but started going down this gradual descent into horror.

Scariest part of this was him perfectly recreating the horror in trying to follow a minecraft house tutorial by image

I like how Robert straight up made an analog horror mod and put Sean in it. what a mad man

44:49 the only normal minecraft cow is out here *HUNTING* this man 😭

30:17 "Who would wanna go in that room?" Proceeds to immediately go in that room. I just love Sean

I just love how Herobrine is so popular in the Minecraft creepypasta community that it's still relevant to this very day.

The modpack is called Robert's Curse if anyone else wants to play it. Make sure to add Optifine to it though or the shaders wont work

I like how this mode is both nostalgic but also insanely tense. It’s like this uncanny feeling of being alone yet accompanied by something unknown, and it makes me real jumpy just from the atmosphere alone! *edited to read alone and not along

It took him until 59:21 to FINALLY start making Steve’s damage grunts. I was expecting him to do it every time he fell off his house.

This absolutely needs to be a full 100 days series. I’m so invested. Drop the modpack?!

Sean building a generic old school house in a retro mod pack paired with his genuine reaction to Herobrine thinking it’s just a glitch of his top left avatar is weirdly nostalgic, like I just discovered a long lost Minecraft OG horror video

A man as brave as you, going out in the woods to record an intro that’s unnecessary for a Minecraft video? I consider that a thumbs up, and a recommendation.

Herobrine was legit like "stripped planks? NOT ON MY WATCH" and jumpscared him XD

The scariest thing about this video is how calm Sean is when spiders are crawling around on him

this is easily the best modpack he's played. It completely encapsulates the feeling of being completely alone, but that eerie feeling that maybe you're not, that the early versions of Minecraft used to convey. It's a mix of nostalgia (with the old textures and sounds), and horror with the concept that those fears that you had as a kid playing on your survival world and thinking that Herobrine would show up around every corner. I remember when I was a kid and sometimes I'd be playing Minecraft, late at night, and I'd randomly think of a Herobrine video I saw earlier that day. I would get so scared and anxious that he'd show up at some point that I'd have to shut the game off. There were times where I just wouldn't play a specific world for a while because I'd get scared. This modpack perfectly encapsulates that feeling. It brings back a lot of memories. This modpack is kind of like having all of those fears as a kid come true. Nostalgic horror is great at bringing back great (and sometimes creepy) memories, whilst also being super scary. It's the perfect kind of horror.

2:14:18 I think that's the moment when Sean spawned in the creature that chased him moments later (his gamemode changed to creative and back to survival in between cuts), but I'm not sure. Maybe he wanted to quickly change something in the settings or it was the herobrine mode messing with him but it doesn't matter. Seeing how this modpack looks was very fun and the video itself was nice :D

2:14:21 I love how Sean doesn’t even feel the need to explain why he is in creative mode

That one glass block amidst the panes bothered me way more than it should.

Ngl, even tho this is supposed to be scary, just hearing Sean talk for 2 hours with old minecraft sounds in the background is really relaxing, genuinely a comfort video that I play while I sleep on loop

I love when there is a scary noise and instead of being normal and hiding, Sean searches while screaming. lol

You hurt my heart and my brain when you complexly ignore the book provided in the crafting table with every crafting recipe in it and a search bar to search specific recipes

I've always felt that the scariest horror movies were the really suspenseful psychological thriller types, and this mod pack nailed that. The anticipation of knowing something bad is going to happen but not knowing what or when... That's so much scarier to me than any amount of gore or monsters could ever be.

felt the constant stressing over how the house looks on a personal note. finally someone else who redoes the same thing 30x before finally being content with it.

1:22:39 anybody else saw him behind the house on the right? Play it slowed.

I've never seen a modpack with a visual style like this. No shaders or huge structures in the distance just a Retro Minecraft look. Pretty cool.

For those wondering, the creatures featured are: Herobrine The Illusioner (wizard guy) The Evoker (Guy in the cave) Skin-walker/Wendigo (Tribal person with a deer skull hat, also was that weird cow) The Stalker (Grim reaper, dropped Zephyr ingot) and the Man from the Fog (last monster shown)

I haven't been properly unnerved in a long time, this brought back that feeling. Not even halfway through and the tension is insane

Besides the horror aspect to this… honestly this feel to Minecraft is so relaxing plus the music! This is so nostalgic and I wanna play this Minecraft again!

Honestly the “normal” cow was terrifying. The “you are too scared to sleep” message amplified it to like 1000x. Like the verification that this is screwed up really cranks it up. So far hero brine not as scary as that cow.

I love how this video is like a real creepypasta. A friend giving you a “cursed” game and everything goes wrong. I love it. I haven’t felt chills like this from Minecraft in a long time.

watching this alone in my dorm room on a cold, dark cloudy day and im genuinely freaked out- this has the energy of the minecraft lets plays that i watched on my ipod i snuck into my room at night when i was a kid

this was both a scary and calming experience and I love it. Thank you for this video!

Sean gaslighting himself into thinking he didn't put down torches in a section of the caves was what sealed it for me that he was slowly losing his mind because of this mod pack. Really loved the PS1 era textures and classic Minecraft sounds.

This reminds me of when I first played Minecraft back in Alpha. I felt happy until it got dark, and dug my way into a wall terrified by the super scary noises coming from zombies. I miss being scared in Minecraft

I don't normally follow a RU-vidr after watching just one of their videos... But I feel like you absolutely deserve it from this video alone. Hopefully you do more of these horror Minecraft playthroughs! Kinda wanna do a run myself! :)

If you click and drag an item, it’ll evenly divide it for you. Say for example, you wanna make stairs, you just click and hold click in the first spot and drag the wood where the spots where the stairs go and it evenly distributes your wood, instead of you having to right click and half the wood between each spot every time. Hope that helps and makes sense!

This video is actually a masterpiece, at first you feel uneasy because of the weird vibe of the mod pack but after a while you start feeling comfortable. Then weird things start to happen... and then more and more things start to go haywire. Masterpiece.

I love how it gives a great sense of tension and dread, not just the jumpscares and the release of the appearance of the big bad guys. Everything is just slightly off, ever so slightly, just notice able but still unnerving

I love the part at the end where he goes into creative mode goes to bed, wakes up, still in creative mode and then it edits back into survival mode then all of a sudden that creature in the game

This became a comfort video as soon as it came out probably watched/listened to it like 30 times or more. So thanks to a man like you who bravely survived out there! Thanks to also have inspired a now 35 pages long fiction about surviving in the woods!

It's so nice of Robert to send you these modpacks while in prison. He really is the best of friends.

Watching you use lava as a light source while tempting God himself to smite you down is the most stressful thing I've seen in Minecraft hahah 1:09:15

35:13 herobrines eyes flash for a split second on the left side

I love horror like this, its not cheap thrills. The atmosphere is built over time and progressively makes you feel more uneasy. It really builds the tension, and thats hard to find in games nowadays. Absolutely love it. Robert did an Absolutely fantastic job with this modpack.

As much as I miss the voiceovers, I really think that not having them in this video really set the mood and made the video more spooky

I'm about halfway through and I have to say this is a well made video. It's very suspenseful

1:24:36 I love that he just doesn't care that he died in Hardcore. The show must go on, and at 2:14:19 you can see in chat log that he went into creative, lol

A serious round of applause for Robert, this mod pack is the best combination of terror and nostalgia I’ve ever experienced.

You wanna know something crazier? As many a time that I've seen people play with Herobrine and/or From the Fog, I've NEVER seen him linger as much as he was during day 14. I mean he wasn't even leaving when you looked at him-- like he was sizing _you_ up specifically.

I wish I could favorite this every time I watch it. keep using it in the background and ill look over and notice "new" stuff each time

First part is so peaceful. Ok this is by far one of my favorite vids you’ve done!

The fact that it makes you think of the early MC days makes it 10x scarier

To explain the zombie pigman he found (if it wasn't from the mod pack) there is a rare chance in minecraft that a pig gets stuck by lightning and gets turned into one. It might have happened during the storm and he only came across it somewhat after.

That thing sean saw thats black and white was probably like "I love the way man cowers in the face of fear"

This video was so fun- felt sort of nostalgic! And absolutely yes would watch a short horror film by you

i think 44:45 was the most chilling, disturbing thing that has happened in a horror game, my familiarity with minecraft and love to it caused me to jump back in fear seeing this mob act in such a disturbing way, running around the house thirsting for blood, this left me petrified and deserves to be talked about.

Honestly, this one scared me. The horror mods you usually use typically don't scare me but this one gave me chills despite knowing what was going on. I always have a weird fear whenever I open up a single player game that someone else is in the game with me. I sincerely congratulate you in surviving this modpack, if I'd played it I probably would've cried and then quit. You're truly the bravest man I know, keep up the wonderful work! Edit- Guess who's playing the mod 🙃🙃🙃 It's just as scary as it seems 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

PLEASE keep playing!!😭 I loved this so much!❤️

this was so nice to just relax to, please make more with this modpack

Gonna be real, I like this kinda chill yet creepy playthrough style.

For a man that plays Minecraft for a living it's wild and entertaining the amount of things Forge doesn't know about Minecraft. Him getting excited about upside down stairs made me chuckle.

1:05:10 Obviously you do if you're already blindly traveling downward into an abyss

Wow, congrats to Robert, because this modpack is nerve wrecking. It took me 20 minutes to eat my soup, because I was watching the video paralyzed. It brings a good horror game atmosphere. Now I understand why you say you did not enjoy surviving this :D

This video brought back so much nostalgia it hurts. The old textures, the sounds, and the added texture stretch honestly made me feel like a kid playing minecraft for the first time again

Pro tip for these newer Minecraft versions; iron spawns more the higher you get above sea level. Going to the top of a mountain will get you tons of iron. Otherwise, you have to go pretty deep for it to start spawning.

Wow, a brave man like you going out into the woods for an intro to a Minecraft video when it is not necessary, that deserves a like and a recommendation.

I love your half-greenscreen style intros, they're great

I think the music and the small details really give that sense of dread that we’ve all felt after feeling like we aren’t alone in our single player Minecraft world

1:48:26 this felt like an actual action movie sequence, the way that the mobs block each side of the path to gang up on you and you narrowly escaping was so awesome and scary at the same time lol. It reminded me of old Minecraft machinimas

Can you please do more of this. I loved the horror aspect of the old graphics and ambience.

What makes this good is the music it plays so ominiously even when nothing will happen. Atmosphere is good for a minecraft mod

I love how the mods mixed to make an experience that just feels and looks like one of those lost haunted games

This is one of my favourite videos you’ve made, srsly feels eerie

Such a terrifying series, thanks, liked it!!

When you were wondering how u got a redstone torch in your inventory, I think it is due to the fact that back in the day Herobrine was often associated with redstone torches in structures he would build in your world. It was sort of a signature building aesthetic for him. It just appeared in your hand when you were in a boat in the ocean

An interesting sound replacement I noticed is that the walking sound effect is replaced with the breaking sound effect for the block that's being walked on. Like walking on dirt sounds like breaking dirt, walking on cobble sounds like breaking cobble, etc. Kinda unnerving because you can't tell if something is breaking or not and it has a metaphoric effect for the player damaging their surroundings by just existing

This one had many jump scares, but definitely worth the watch ... That smile Steve was sporting was creepy AF.

i need a 100 days of thisss (no pressure love the videos dude)

The fact that Sean was walking through the forest BAREFOOT irl just shows how dedicated he is to these videos Edit: I posted this before getting to 1:45 so I had no idea he wanted us to comment this 😂

The visuals are honestly the most unsettling thing for me. It's like what (old) Minecraft looks like in a dream. It has that classic vibe to it, but something just doesn't feel quite right. The movement, the quality, the atmosphere, it all feels familiar, yet very different. Even the music is chilling; it does sound like something in the style you would hear from C418 but again, something about it doesn't quite hit the mark, it doesn't seem right. It's like something was trying to imitate (classic) Minecraft but didn't nail it to the fullest, making it feel very surreal, dreamy and unsettling.

this video gave me minecraft nostalgia while watching... the old textures, the mobs, the music. i miss it so much...

This gamemode really hits the nostalgia especially the fog it makes it so good and horrifying at the same time thinking someone is watching you when your alone

The thing I love about this mod is that is doesn’t just capitalize on horror. It capitalizes on terror. Now, a lot of people use horror and terror interchangeably, but they couldn’t be more different despite revolving around getting scared. Horror relies on shock and awe, busting its entire load in 1 or 3 goes. Yeah, horror is scary, but it usually wears off pretty fast as its only skin deep. Oh no, it’s a jump scare, ahhhhh. Same thing with Five Nights a Freddy’s. Horror is formulaic. Things in horror (like games) are easy ti overcome, and often violence IS the solution. I mean, you’re even rewarding for killing in some horror games. Now terror, terror is a different beast all on it’s own. It does scare you, yes. But it doesn’t do it in the same way horror does. Terror uses your own mind against you, turning you into your worst enemy. Things that involve terror involve uncertainty, and uncertainty makes the brain go go go, thus turning your imagination against you. A really good example of terror is Subnautica. Unlike most scary games, there is no reward for killing. Violence will not truly save you (unless you’re an expert PRAWN pilot who can fight kaiju) like it will in Resident Evil. Uncertainty also has a big role to play in it. This mod is terror incarnate, as it uses nostalgia and unassuming textures to disguise itself. Even when you first start, you notice some things are off if you’re a regular Minecraft player. The music isn’t quite right. It’s almost right, but something is off. The caves are unnaturally dark, and you hear weird things, sounds that are not like the scary cave sounds that you’re used to. Then it gets worse, like an unassuming cow that charges you down, or the music becoming discordant, and even split second appearances of… *Him.* It all adds up, and the biggest thing that will really get you is not the loneliness, but the uncertainty. You’re constantly on edge, struggling to discern from which sounds are coming from in your house and which are in the game. Which sounds are good, and which are bad. You’re always filled with uncertainty as the entities act will no set patterns, and we humans love our patterns as we can easily recognize them. Like I said before, this mod preys on your nostalgia and uncertainty, using randomness and terror to break you.

This is such a terrifying slow burn, I love when horror is full more of tension than nonstop jumpscares and obvious danger

Every time herobrine popped up my dumb monkey brain kept hearing "we've been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty"

Your actually so brave for playing this if I heard those caves noises I would have left AND I’m watching this a night so I’m even more shaken up
