Minecraft's Code Has A Dark Secret. The REAL Story of Herobrine. 

Did you know that pressing the Subscribe button can also help keep Herobrine away?

i think the reason why herobrine and tons of other creepypastas are so scary is because usually when reading a creepypasta story you dont get a complete picture of what the antagonist of the story is. meaning that it becomes the most horrifying monster of all, the monster your mind makes for you.

I have a pretty unique story about the blank eyed demon. When I was younger on W10 edition, I looked up Herobrine summoning shrines. I found as many as I could, and built all of them in my creative world. Around 15 minutes later, Minecraft crashed entirely. When I loaded back up into Minecraft, the world said it had around 70 gigabytes of storage in it, despite it being significantly lower before. When I tried to enter the world, it crashed again and the world proceeded to delete itself. 10-11 year-old me became extremely skeptical about Herobrine actually existing after that one. I would come to find out that it was a bug that ironically happened on that world in particular. So that was fun.

Fun fact for y’all. The “removed herobrine” patch note WAS in every single major update change log… Up until 1.16, the nether update. There has been no mention of removing him since then.

I think Notch missed an opportunity with Herobrine. I think that Mojang never really needed to add him in like with a character model or anything big like that, but rather, perhaps spawn a very rare book in dungeon chests or monuments describing a ghost, a lost player in the world and suggesting that maybe you arent alone in the huge world of Minecraft. Maybe adding into the lore suggesting that Herobrine is real wouldve been fantastic. Never mentioning his name or what he looks like other than white eyes, dwelling somewhere in history in the far reaches of the world. Herobrine will always be a part of the game and a legend, and the idea of him deserves to be immortalized in the game officially in some way.

You know, I would 100% download a mod that added the original style of herobrine into the game. One that wasn't malicious, but just... Odd. Sometimes at night when you got in a bed it told you another player needed to sleep, even in single player, always one more than the current amount, but only for 10 seconds before disappearing. Sometimes you would be out and about and a message of " is sleeping in a bed, all players need to be asleep in order for time to pass". No name, no nothing else weird. Sometimes structures that you have never visited before have already had their chests emptied and trapped deactivated. Sometimes you would come across trees without leaves, random dirt structures, odd things. But you wouldn't see Herobrine fully. Maybe you see what you think is a player in the distance, maybe you'll hear mining outside of your house and some nearby dirt is gone, but by the time you see it nothing is there. He never attacks you directly. Never hurts you in any way intentionally. He's just there, like another player in your game, but not.

I was terrified of mining in Minecraft for so long. Didn't help that my brother told me he would be in Mine Shafts and he was haunting. Every time I forced myself to mine to get resources and I would be super paranoid. It felt like I saw some things that were probably just some mob or fog. I am getting better, and better at handling the darkness. But soon there'll be another creature to hunt us down...

I remember how I used to be obsessed with the sighting videos of him due to how creepy yet adrenalizing they were

Since his first "appearance" Herobrine bacame always present in our worlds. By thinking of him is the only way to actually feel him. No mods, no texture pack, no codes, just our minds. Herobrine is our worst fear in Minecraft.

The fact that I still get a rush of primal fear whenever I see herobrine 😭

i felt a chill down my spine when they stopped "removing herobrine"

I remember when the newer ambient noises were implemented. Scared the shit out of me as I hadn't read the patchnotes for that update. Once I began actually listening for a few minutes and the sound triggered again, it didn't take long to figure out there were new ambiences. My game was unmodded, so it didn't take much to narrow down what the source was.Even went and checked the patch notes to confirm and yup. Gave me a good scare though and I loved it! Even now the ambiences still startle me. lol

I've actually found one of "herobrine's" tunnels. But it was probably just a generation glitch.

What if herobrine was just the embodiment of bugs and glitches that made it Minecraft? It's not like that Herobrine is real as a player like entity but as the one who makes up the things that are weird and horrifyingly unique. This might be why Minecraft Updates are always saying removing Herobrine because they were removing thee bugs.

Been waiting for another video on this channel! Great topic choice, I remember the herobrine story blowing up and when they started “removing” him. Thank you for the extra insight :)

In one of my singleplayer worlds back in 1.2 I had this weird thing happen to me. Every now and then random, single brick blocks would appear around my house and in other parts of my world. As far as I know there is no way brick spawns naturally and with my young age I didn't even know how to craft brick. Some time later I found a Iron Golem in the middle of a Forest miles away from my home, no village in sight. Never touched that world again after that.

In a server I used to play on years ago, the mods trolled players by doing the things herobrine did in the stories, and then teleporting over in a herobrine skin with the name missing, and disappear as soon as you saw him, or even just caught him in the corner of the eye. Used to scare the shit outta me when I was younger.

I’ve always believed that Herobrine is as real as people allow him to be. Was that cave noise him? Yes it was. Was that weird chunk loading bug him? Yes it was. Was that HOAX him? YES. IT WAS. Because Herobrine was there, just not in the way that people think. For me, Herobrine is not a someone or a something. He’s an IDEA. A thought. If you consider something to be or be caused by Herobrine, the yes. It IS Herobrine. Because your thoughts make him more real than any patch notes. In the end… isn’t he real to someone? Herobrine is real, just not in the way people think - but also in the way people TNINK. Does that make sense? Maybe not.

He was definitely in the game, back when I first got an Xbox I went to sleep in the tutorial world with the castle in the village portion right outside the tunnel and I was transported to a foggy sort of dimension and I saw him there. I have never saw him again even after playing for years so I still don't know what exactly happened.

Since 1.19 rolled in, the Warden took the cake for being the scariest mob in the game for me. Accidentally spawning one could really mean instant death, and you wouldn't be able to fight back either. The dude could wreck the wither even only by himself.

Something that occurred to me in-game a lot when I was little, would be that when ever I left the home down in the mine directly under it, I would sometimes hear my door open and close, I would always go back up and find nothing. I always thought it's some sort of bug/glitch, although I always wondered what it actually was, a Chicken opening my door? Or a Enderman? Or a Bug? At some point I tried googling about it but didn't find anything.

7:49 man just punched herobrine without any hesitation

This is a great in depth video and I like that you actually know what you're talking about with old minecraft because quite a bit of people get some of that information wrong when talking about old minecraft

I actually thought I saw Herobrine once but it turned out to either be be some left over or corrupted code that caused the old human mob to show up in a version it wasn't supposed to be in I'm not sure how it happened but it was the early days of minecraft so a lot of things were happening that weren't intended

great video, thank you for telling it like it is 100%, every other video I’ve seen breaking down herobrine often is misleading for the unseasoned minecrafters. although it is fun to be scared when you’re convinced he exists, gotta realize it just wasn’t a thing.

I've only had a few strange things happen while playing single player. Something unique happened that I've never heard about before though ( just fyi I played on the Xbox 360 at the time). One world I created and joined was a custom super flat with diamond blocks at the top and lapis was the rest in pretty sure. When I found a village all the villagers were named "Notch" and all the mobs that spawned were automatically named "Notch" I have no proof though since mobs no longer spawn in that world and the only mobs left in that world are the ones I put on leads and/or were named "Notch". 👺

I recently found your channel, and it’s amazing, keep it up man

well. i do have a weird things happening in my OLDEST server on minecraft when i was 8 years old. that time i play minecraft and live in a village, and then i quit the game and saw... a random giant square hole thingy, replaced the village house inside a cave. and then days and days. it also still happening like that. how?

0:38 I think I can see a small difference between the default player and Herobrine: two pixels are blue on the default skin Steve but white on Herobrine's texture. In this part of the video, there is a normal player at first but then it transitions to Herobrine

I never knew about that! Super interesting video, I can't believe you only have 18.4k subs. You are so underated!

Another way that the rumor kept itself alive is the fact that someone made a song parody about him

Once when I was a child playing minecraft on my Xbox 360, a cave sound appeared and I saw an default Steve arm. I thought it was herobrine but now that I am older, I believe I was seeing things because I was very scared of cave sounds back in the day. Another time, a cave sound appeared again and I turned super quick and saw a entity shadow. Again, I don’t think this was real because I was just a child and I really was afraid of cave sounds. (This testimony isn’t a lie, it’s what I saw or imagined I saw)

3:30 It wasn't "photoshoped". It was a door textured modded in.

i had a weird encounter i was playing with my brother and just casually farming wood but i saw a cave ive never seen it before so i decided to explore it we garbbed our gear and went mining but something was off there was no resources we wnt really deep we found lava but we gave up the next day we ogged on and our pets were just dead when we never really touched the other day but there were like creeper explosion holes and stuff so we decided to not play the world for a bit and when we logged on after 2to3 days our loot was missing not all of it but most of it so we just decided to delete the world and start a new one and thats the end of the story

11:27 caught me so off guard LOL

Ahh Herobrine, such a classic. When abandoned mineshafts were added to the game me and my friends would just call them the Herobrine mines for some flavour text for why there were random mineshafts around the place.

Really underrated video man, Awsome content! Super well made and interesting!

i have a little story about my experience with "herobrine" one day i was playing on singleplayer, my game froze and stopped registering any breaking blocks or updates to the world, however i was able to move and look around, i was in a cave, i looked back and then my pc unfroze and i saw my character which was default steve running towards me, and resync with my actual position than where i was when it froze, at the time i got scared thinking the creepy pasta may be real, i stopped playing the game for about 3 years until i was brave enough to play again, to this day im not sure how such bug can be obtainable in minecraft, knowing this only happens in some online games but i was on singleplayer

You're really a cool narrator! Best wishes;)

I love how you used the original herobrine seed for this.

Hey, This is my first time watching you! You seem like a really cool youtuber and I subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Rest in peace technoblade, may he rest in peace, dead but not forgotten

I ran into a Herobrine once, probably was just a hacker that stumbled across my server but idk. They were either very clever or using an A.I. because it seemed more like a program that had been added

thats why i love creepypasta like this when the things feel real it gives beautifull meaning to it and a nice story

Man I remember how scared I was of herobrine that i refused to mine and took a break from minecraft a few years

*YOU KNOW WHAT'S HILARIOUS? NO ONE IN BEDROCK HAS EVER MADE A CUSTOM WORLD WITH ALL OF MINECRAFT'S HOAXES OR ENTITIES, YET THEY MADE A CLONE OF AETHER MOD*

I think Notch actually had an idea for adding Herobrine in Minecraft and he actually existed in-game, not as a patch or beta, version but as a WIP Java project, and for some reason they removed before launching this project as an update, probably because it was hard to program this kind of thing under a week (which was how often Minecraft would update) and it caused too much bugs just by existing in the files of the game, or because there wasn't too much point in adding it to the game at all or they didn't have too much plans for it. About the "Removed Herobrine" joke, I guess it was because of Notch getting annoyed by people asking about Herobrine, he started to use the "Removed Herobrine" in the newer updates so that people would leave him alone until it became more of a joke then a "There is what you wanted, you happy?" kind of thing

I'm actually very curious about the human thing in Minecraft. I wonder if there is anyone who has activated it in the code to see what it looks like

The legend of herobrine will forever be cemented in minecrafts culture

The Journey- A Story- Herobrine is known as Edward Brine in the far past. He came from England in the 17th century. He finds his way through the island before finding an amulet.

Herobrine is pretty much something i belived in alot of time! As a weird version of Steve who would act as a villian but , now im glad i could find videos about him and know him more! specially your video! : D

When the power went out my other PC switched off and when the power was back my PC switch on again lol

The only memory I have of a herobrine esk experience is once I was building a house out of every wool block I finished it but when I got inside half the roof disappeared at the time I thought endermen had greifed it but now that I think about it, this event happened within 30 seconds I might have just quit without saving or something I cant remember just a strange time in a strange game.

One time i saw herobrine in one of my worlds I had a mod, but i didnt know, they secretly added it

I've had this one really creepy encounter for me once, I was playing Minecraft PE around 6-7 years ago (I think, it was long ago to remember) and I was scrolling through my world page and I saw this empty named world. So I was curious and joined it, when I spawn in I'm facing this pyramid that looked identical to the one in this video (0:27) so I was still curious but a little questionable, I climb the pyramid and there's a hole at the top, I look down the hole and theres alot of space down the hole including water to drop down in from, so I drop down I think around 15 blocks down and I start exploring the bit mined out inside the pyramid, I think I found this chest and I open it and theres nothing inside but at the same time I hear something behind me (the water) and it sounds like splashing noises, at the moment I got a shiver down my spine. In-game I turn around and I see that the water is gone, I immediately freak out because I don't know what's going on (At the time I was around 7 or 8) and I calm down a bit and explore a bit more, and then I hear the water noise when you place it back down, I turn around and there it is again filling up the hole. I immediately left the world and stopped playing minecraft for that day. The next day I log back on and I am curious again so I look for the unnamed world, and I realize it's not there anymore on my world list, and I did not delete the world because I was too scared and in a hurry the day before to delete it. Let me know if anyone has had anything similar happen to them in Minecraft.

One time when I was mining in my world (in bedrock) I saw a long hallway with tunnels that didnt lead anywhere, like a stripmine

I saw Herobrine once in a singleplayer world on Minecraft pocket edition when I was really young.. I have no idea how, but thanks to this video it must've been my brother installing mods lol

Herobrine might be notch's long lost brother or dead brother...

Something that scared the hell out of me years ago on Windows 10 Edition was when I was building some shitty adventure map (as we all did back then), and I went into survival to test it. A few seconds later, I died randomly and when I respawned, the map I had built was gone. Looking back, the death was probably the annoying random death glitch, and the map being "gone" was probably just the chunks being slow to load in (I immediately left the world, so they probably just weren't loaded yet). One thing I can't explain though, is that after that happened to me, random worlds that I didn't make started popping up in my game. None of my family played Minecraft, so I don't know what it is. The worlds would have random structures like basic redstone machines and stuff. They were probably just old worlds I had forgotten about, since I probably had hundreds of worlds in that worlds folder, but it was still really creepy. Another weird thing that happened to me a few years after is that (I was now playing on Nintendo Switch) is when these two accounts would constantly send me invites to their world. I never joined it, but I still wondered what their purpose was. Weird

Y’all remember when there was an actual skin of herobrine in one of the first skin packs that the creators added on console or maybe on pc? I remember seeing it on ps4 but you had to buy the skin or the pack at the time. I could be or could not be wrong bout this!

I remember genuinely thinking I saw him a few times this myth made minecraft kinda creepy for a short period of time

herobrine keeps adding himself back in. that's why they have to constantly remove him.

Nostalgic times, i loved the lore of herobrine, i loved mods with herobrine. I usually reinstall Minecraft only for nostalgic reasons

Ever since this creepypasta existed, people started taking Herobrine seriously like people using him for monster school and their own minecraft stories.

Where this myth really shined was xbox 360. When they added the herobrine skin, RU-vid trolling channels such as XboxAddictionz and VideoGamez (or VideoGames, cant remember) started using the skin to troll little kids, the good times.

I like how people are still trying to figure out herobrine after all these years

Hero brine is such a unique horror villain/creature and I love it

Hey there is a entity that is roaming on my friends realm it only stays in the dark and watches you while doing your thing one time I went mining I saw it again but what it did surprised me it was sprinting and spikes were coming out where ever he walked so I go down and it was gone and so we’re the spikes

Cut walls are normal. I see them all the time.

9:17 I actually deleted my first world because I heard a cave noise and thought it was herobrine.

Great video! Thanks for making it, it answered alot of my questions about Herobrine!

the fact that you really have to explain what/who herobrine is really says a lot

Mojang should make a scary version of Minecraft that contains herobrine as AI

You see; the reason nobody's ever been able to actually prove Herobrine's existence is because if you make a recording of him, he will NOT let you upload it.😨😰😱

Nice videos Nello! keep up the good work! :D

Just had this thought in me head. back in alpha 1.2.6 of Minecraft they were doing NPC testing with Steve. what if "herobrine" is left over corrupted coding of the Steve NPC testing that didn't get deleted? and people DID see him but nearing the newest updates to the game following 1.2.6 and up he started to get over filed or corrupted and eventually got "removed"? (just a theory)

I'm not lying when I say that Herobrine is real. He was legit in my world. My friend mainly was the one who encountered him but I was walking towards my house and heard lightning even though it wasn't a storm. It was clear weather. Also, each time I logged on to that world my tree farm would have several half broken trees and it wasn't a server. No one could be on the world unless I was. My friend also found a dispenser full of diamonds and a sign that said "thank you" in Swedish where he had dropped one diamond before he got kicked off by Herobrine. He was very reluctant to get back on that world after the incident.

Finally someone knows herobrine isn't real.

Herobrine is not coded by devs, he's a bug

When I first started playing minecraft I didn't now it at the time but one world I do remember I kept hearing tnt and weird items kept dropping from the sky also another time with a friend I kept seeing him in the woods

the most reasonable thing i can think of without watching the video: the first ever image proof of herobrine could be real somehow, and maybe notch just wanted to add an entity in memory of his brother, acting exactly like a ghost. After that, there was a really small chance of actually meeting this entity, but seeing how popular and ridiculous this was going, the mojang team decided to remove it entirely. The only weird thing is the "removed herobrine" stuff, but maybe with some coding skills the problem could be solved. The herobrine user, that didnt have an account apparently, was probably one of his friend that deleted his profile soon after, and they just got away with it Now, im not accusing anybody of faking and this is just my opinion, but maybe there is a bigger secret, connected somehow to notch's brother; in a few years, i bet that the mistery is gonna be solved

1:02 I can only say one thing about the no of views on that vid ‘Noice’

Herobrine is a character who likes standing on ground beef in the nether

When i was playing Minecraft its all by myself i load my Minecraft i saw a village, i go to the village when i look in the back of the village i saw a cros its a bloock then i go to the spawn point and i saw a sand village i did not know theres a 2 village at spawn point, i go to the other village and i see another cros that it made by breaking a bloock then my friend join and i said "i will go to the other village and you stay in this sand village" he said ok and i go and its the same replica of the other cross, idk if its a natural generated cuz i just spawn to it my one friend is watching me. So its a unsolve mystery to my world....

2 things which you didn't say: 1. Herobrine appears in some advertisings publicly postet from Mojang and 2. His Head is in the Vanilla game and you can get it while using a command. That really surprised me! I thought he is not in the game - but his head is???

I remember once when I was very young, (5-6 years old?) I was playing with my brother in a world where only us would play in. It was on Xbox 360 and we've never had someone join or world before, or it wasn't very often that players would join. (I'm not even sure if others could join) We went into a huge castle where it was built automatically with the world (idk if people remember this but it had like a red roof and stuff and you could go in the castle etc). Me and my brother had full equiped diamond armor and enchanted, as well as our diamond sword. Then, after a few minutes that we've played in the world, someone joined (I cant believe I forgot their name I cant remember xd) but when I went to look into the player list, nobody except me and my sibling was showed. I thought this was not this big of a deal and I kept playing thinking he might've left or that it was a glitch. But soon after, someone came after my brother and started attacking him, dealing huge damage he couldn't see him but only particles which would've been a potion of invisibility. He came after us as we went onto the rooftop but he still managed to find us and kill us. He stole all of our stuff in our inventory and we couldn't defend ourselves. At first we couldn't see him because he somehow had managed to get an invisible potion and deal huge damage with a sword (I think or he didn't have one i dont remember). He then proceeded to equip one of our diamond armor we've had and came after us again but this time we could see him because of the armor (We just couldn't see his avatar). My brother managed to get out of the castle to the nearest village but I had trouble escaping (I did finally manage to leave the castle but I was terrified and so confused). Then we stayed in the village for a whole Minecraft day wondering if he would come at us but he didn't. A few minutes later, my brother left as he was bored and I stayed. I was still scared to go into the castle or even leave the village as I thought he would come and kill me again because I was waiting for him to leave but It never said that he left. That was the last time I saw him and I left the world. I came the next day but he was no where to be found, our stuff had gone and all our diamond armor. Till this day I still don't know how that happened and how that could have happened. Neither of us do and we are very confused on how he managed to do all of that. Maybe it was a glitch? maybe it wasn't? I don't know. But something I know for sure is that it wasn't something that should have happened.

I was a weird kid who thought that herobrine was a glit because “oh anything else would be stupid” kinda like what happened with my grandparents that I thought that people call them their grandparents when they have kids lol

I remember when I played on ps3 with a friend and he used the zombie herobrine skin from one of the skin packs and tried acting like herobrine

first

11:02 that old launcher brings back memories

Love your video's. Interesting topics and very well done..

7:50 herobrine just hopping about, dude just turns around to smack him lmao

0:44 why did this scare me 😄

When I was playing Minecraft on my XBOX360 i noticed a weird cross made on the floor- I thought it was nothing and went to explore the world more. Then I saw a Stray. Strays were not even created that time.

I had something weird happen when i was 6 or so, so I just got minecraft on the ps3 and i just made my first world, i was playing and i saw a notification in yellow where the chat was and the notification was someone joined, now i cant remember there name but it started with an n. and something else happened about 2 years ago, I was playing with 2 of my friends and we recently dug a 16x16 hole that went down to like Y -3 anyways I was walking to my old base where i need to get some of my stuff, on the way to the base you can see the hole because you walk by it, and on the way to my new base i was right next to the hole, and saw something walk out of it, my friends where afk and when they got mack i got them to do what i saw and it looked exactly the same.

0:15 - "I don't really know what to do with muh hands"

It's weird to me how few videos about Herobrine mention his once being included in a skin pack.

I swear that Herborine existed. I must have been 8 or 9, building a pretty terrible excuse for a treehouse on top of one of those giant jungle trees in creative mode. It sounds so stupid, but he appeared, spawned hostile wolves and villagers with white eyes, and then killed me. I was freaked out, left the game, and ran to tell my dad, but when I came back to the game, there was no sign of any of that.

Bare with me. So, 2017. Here in eastern Europe there's this "Minecraft noobs" trend. It's basically spectacle youtube videos. There are a few types of players, like a minecraft noob, minecraft pro, minecraft architect and so on you get it. A couple of friends make up a script and then play it out in the game. When it got picked up, herobrine minecraft noobs videos got especially popular and there were just tons of them. Most of the people who did the minecraft noobs stuff were extremely moneygrab-ey. But the few that cared, when they did herobrine ones, it was just the best of this platform. The whole thing was just so big before youtube started getting the corporate changes. And it just kind of wet away for some reason when the updates came. A lot of people know about it, but most really don't remember what it was like. The whole thing with minecraft noobs is just extremely bizarre and that there were a lot of really cool and creative herobrine ones makes this comment actually relevant. Give it the "like" affirmation of digesting peculiar information and go on feeling a bit better about yourself

I think I know a way to summon hero brine. Finest make a 3 by 3 gold block square, replace the center block with nether wrack, put nether wrack above, then put red stone torches on the gold except for the corners, then light the nether wrack on fire and he should spwan
