New Evidence in the Search for Herobrine's Origins 

Making the shrine with my friends back in the day on the xbox 360 version

Playing Minecraft with my Cousin on the PS4 then looking at the map and seeing 3 player markers (we played splitscreen with just the two of us on an offline world.) Never touched that world since. (honestly it was probably a bug or something but it terrified us, i didn't sleep at all that night)

Hey bro, I really love your videos about Minecraft mysteries, especially Herobrine. The mystery of Herobrine is being solved now, but never mind if the reason behind Herobrine is not just in the Minecraft version. If you look at the older Minecraft launcher versions, that could be a big clue about the mysterious character known as Herobrine. I think the old Minecraft launchers from the days of Windows XP and Windows 7 hold a big mystery. We haven't found any files of Herobrine in old versions like 1.0.16_2 or 1.0.17_4. Mojang keeps saying "Removed Herobrine" with every update, which makes me think there's a dark secret behind the old versions of the Minecraft launchers. Perhaps if we find an old official version of the Minecraft launcher from an old computer or hard drive, we might uncover something. We've all looked at Minecraft files but haven't found any clues about Herobrine. However, the Minecraft launcher has a big mystery-"A DARK MYSTERY." Some players keep saying they saw Herobrine in the old days, like 2009 to 2011, during the days of Windows XP and 7. Maybe some old computers running old versions of Minecraft were "HACKED BY THE REMOVED VERSION OF THE OLD MINECRAFT LAUNCHER." Mojang kept updating the launcher every month without changing the old Minecraft files. At the end, I think Notch managed to create a modified version of the Minecraft launcher and versions 1.0.16_2 and 1.0.17_4. These are the only two versions we focused on and realized something was wrong, like Herobrine or glowing eyes. Notch might have trolled the old Minecraft players like Copeland. We need to take a look at the old Minecraft files from any old computer if we can find them. Goodbye and good luck with your investigations! I really like your RU-vid channel too, Mr. RGN.

making a command block that spammed lightning on a herobrine shrine thing lol

@@javengabriellarboleda2864i might have an answer for this one. iirc if you placed a map in an item frame that map would show up as a white player marker when you looked at a map in your hand

you have no idea how many dead worlds i have from “herobrine encounters”

Same

mbf

Its never too late to have a resurgence y'know

Fr. My sister deleted a world after a tree set fire 2 blocks away from a lava pool

Wholesome

that's so cute

Gotta say, you always made my day Thanks for doing that, never failed to make me smile :]

This made me 2g more happy, thanks for sharing it.

I'd love a story about this concept, a normal kid befriending some eldritch entity would be some wholesome horror

102 likes and no replies lemme fix that

@@deepfakes4567no

completely, i remember in beta days as 14 years old being scared of playing with the fog, and was scared of the tiniest sounds i heard. one time i was building a staircase out of half slabs, then i heard something behind me like footsteps of sorts. i saw nothing. and i remember it to this day now that im 27 years old. these were fun times now i think about it...

THe fear doesn't come from sheer strength, but intellegance. No amount of brute force is of any use with out the Intellegence to use it.

nah bro it was scary cause we were fucking kids xd.

I don't think... no

😮, spooky

And people will say it’s jesus guiding you or something among these lines 😭

Okay

If heroinbrine is not real, then why did my uncle died due to heroin overdose? Huh? COINCIDENCE?

This is more easy on game consoles since its harder for dig through code in game consoles

SM64 every copy is personalized was the only good one in the last few years.

@@waddledeegaming3242 I agree, that one was great because of how it played off of your false memories of the game.

Datamining really was a mistake when it came to secrets.

Gta 5 was the last big game to have urban legends and cryptids, but even then people started file digging and disproving stuff

Soldier Boy reference lmao

Haha I didn't even catch the irony!

@@RetroGamingNow2 WHITE PIXELS

@@Shadow6678-j5s I can't take it. I see an image of a random object posted and then I see it, I fucking see it. "Oh that looks kinda like two little white eyes" it started as. That's funny, that's a cool reference. But I kept going, I'd see a fridge that looked like white eyes, I'd see an animated bag of chips that looked like white eyes, I'd see a hat that looked like white eyes. And every time I'd burst into an insane, breath deprived laugh staring at the image as the words “WHITE EYES” ran through my head.

@@joechristo2 I built a tower. A tower so I can see if it approaches me. IM SO FUCKING AFRAID OF EVEN GOING IN MY HOUSE. Let alone the mines. ALL BECAUSE OF 2 WHITE PIXELS. 2 FUCKING WHITE PIXELS. I don’t swear irl

Like how the mod From The Fog did it, made it into a horror game with no jumpscares and big horror creatures

@@barrytaylor889 yeah but thats literally herobrine

I find it funny how the Cave Dweller was mentioned in this video. Gives me a bit more appreciation for that mod, knowing it (may have) actually been based off of an actual myth from old Minecraft.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Modding minecraft to be scary makes it less scary. ... Kinda anyway. With horror there are 3 stages, the buildup where tension builds, the scare, and the calm down, where the scare has happened, and either you're character is dead or you've paused the game or something and you just take a moment to let out a sigh a scream or even cry. But after you do so, you calm down even if only a little bit. Default minecraft ... doesn't allow the scare (Unless you count sudden mob attacks you don't see coming.) It just endlessly builds tension as your mind plays tricks on you. Your own mind does worse than any mod could EVER do. Because you know more than anyone else what you DON'T want to see down in those mines. Oh sure cave dwellers creepy texture packs, mods etc etc are all spooky ... but familiarity becomes comfortable. If you KNOW what to expect. Eventually it becomes mundane. The scare happens and the tension is lost. And it quickly becomes a cycle where the worst it can do is annoy you. ... But if you're alone in a minecraft world with nothing that can actually scare you. There is no herobrine in those mines ... but you think there is. And because you JUST can't shake the thought he MIGHT be (or whatever else) but the scare never happens. The tension builds ENDLESSLY! And even if you do calm down by going to do something relaxing ... you gotta head back down Eventually.

I can't play Minecraft without a buddy anymore

iirc the biggest difference is that the original was about rpe specifically rather than torture in general.

@@rustkitty ffs way to ruin it at least this version is the one most remembered

@@tastydeaths Huh? How exactly is that "ruined"?

He cannot see, but he is watching.

To me, the idea of a normal pair of eyes somehow appearing visible in the dark as if it were in broad daylight is creepier than actual glowing eyes.

They really leaned into their horror aspect in Minecraft Dungeons, having them give you a slight tunnel vision effect and warp the screen a bit.

and not slenderman?

@@ktokolwiek8545both

​@@ktokolwiek8545that could have played more into their height

@@keekorsomthin i think all of their appearence just look at comparison beetwen them. slenderman was popular back then in 2011

kinda adds to creepy factor of it, if you think about it

Well it does make it more creepy if you ask me

Yeah its sad. I wonder if the person who made the myth even knows how popular their creation became.

I think there could be three scenarios. The creator might be aware of it considering how popular Herobrine has become, but they are refraining from revealing themselves since there is no proof. It would only potentially mark them as a troll without any substantial evidence. They might have told it to select a few friends who would believe their words but not to the general public. Or the creator really might no longer be interested in Minecraft and living a normal life. In this scenario, they are alive and well but genuinely oblivious to what is happening to the Minecraft fandom. Even though Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, it rarely gets mentioned in the public media or news. It’s just a children’s video game to many people. Herobrine isn’t very well known outside of the Minecraft fan base. Then there’s another possibility that the creator might have died. It’s been 14 years after all, and even in the Minecraft fandom, some of the greatest players have met their demise. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the same happened to the Herobrine creator.

They definitely know that it’s popular but saying you created hero brine is like talking to a brick wall you’re never gonna be able to truly take credit for it

I remember as a child a blind cat with white eyes ran across the porch outside my kitchen lmao Didn’t help that I thought that it looked like my cat (which had died semi-recently at the time) (It didn’t actually look like my dead cat but I thought it did)

@@tom-ment-CapybaraNothing is scarier to humans than our own ability to make up patterns and exaggerate the hell out of them.

I didn’t know strays were added and i was just messing around in the festive mash up pack and I saw one spawn in and wow it scared me

That would’ve been hilarious, but I think people could go back and check the files now

​@@normalhuman9878damn files

@@normalhuman9878i mean, some versions are completely lost, for example the alpha version that added redstone

yeah ive had like 4 instances in one version were me and my cousin found him i sometimes think hes still real but than realize it probably was my cousin or our other friend

ME TOOOO OH MY GOD. definitely stemmed the way uncanniness can get a visceral reaction out of me now.... like there was this uquiz i took recently called "what your favorite color?" and for some reason it totally blindsided me and had me dropping my phone every other question 😭 thank you herobrine wake up creepypasta you will forever be famous

@@yhd_skeetsy Apparently the “wake up” copypasta has been around since at least 2008. Really goes to show what a freakish amalgam Herobrine is

Wake up.

Bro's more powerful than the Coders.

They stopped doing it now

Do you think that they stopped doing it out of lack of belief, or because they could no longer keep him out

@@Smashburrogames maybe he’s just dead now

Not to mention that it was basically lost media meaning it would have been impossible to double check the facts.

Derek Stryder no I actually remember the """original""" footage (somehow) now don't ask me where I saw it, I think it was a really old creepy Minecraft video that is also lost now, but seeing it after so long, I remember the ending being completely different

@@UnderscoreAngel The one where he jumps into a nearby lava pool and burns while Herobrine looks down on him?

+derekstryder2281 that one is a recreation, but i remember one where copeland just jumps off a bridge outside of his house in the server, bridge that does not exists in the original map.

or said bridge might be on a different place

C418 actually.

@@brandonbombplays9304 Oh right. My bad.

Absolutely, Herobrine was a big part of my childhood My brother pretended to be him once, on Minecraft PE where you could join worlds with whatever skin and name you wanted. That day solidified my love for Minecraft and creepypastas and all sorts of creepy stories, I don’t think I’d be who I am now without that moment

@@scarlettarana LOL! I did the same to my little sister on PE. Idk if there was some setting or if I used mods but I was able to change gamemode and use /kill on her. I was flying to her while she was digging some hole. She ended up burying herself out of fear. I acted like I was on my way coming for help 💀💀💀 Then finally i used the kill command. 10 years ago and she still vividly remembers 😂

Not really. I never heard of it when I was a kid thankfully and I never cared about it much

"But why would someone post purposefully wrong information" Welcome to the Internet.

Yup purposefullywrong information is everywhere on the internet.

@@ShadowWolf2023-yp5zg Okay, admittedly worded that part very poorly. What I was trying to say is that somebody posting about an unknown entity in the game and saying it was actually the creators dead brother felt... a little strange to do. Truthfully that isn't out of the realm of possibility though.

@@ToyFreddyGaming1987 Notch never actually had a brother.

Do you have the original fan art by Flakey?

His channel is great and he composed all of the background music, if you like this you'll like his other stuff

heavy vouch w the commenter above! you should check out his minecraft mob centric videos if a little world building theorizing interests u 👍

He at least doesn't kill you just stalks you. Unlike ev3ry other dumb Stalker mod out there

@@MrCheeesy Nah, Herobrine has never been classified as a Dweller. Personally I've never seen anyone classify Herobrine as a Dweller.

wait people don't recognize herobrine nowadays???

Womanbrine

@@alternativeaccountmercury I've genuinely ran into people who didn't, no.

sherobrine

Because as a kid you are more naive.

Probably someone has archived it Way too many people cared to just let it disappear

God has nothing to do with it.

fuck god then 🕋🕋🕋 ez ​@@ShadowWolf2023-yp5zg

But...?

Theres "ocean sounds" which are cave sounds that play in the sea, they're slightly rarer i think cause i dont hear them often but when i do it triggers my thalassophobia lol

Who's the other guy? Just curious

@@JJaylenPlayssame fr

We wanna know who’s the other

Tell us who it is, NOW!

Who's the other?

And yeah, I later tried entering that cave again out of curiosity but I don't remember ever finding that exact hole again.

Disgusting...

Spill the beans

???

@@novameowww what

I'm not.

You were the chosen one, you were meant to remove Herobrine, not add him!

Thank you so much!

Every now and again I get that feeling of being watched. Should I be worried?

Babe go back to sleep just a stupid bot comment.

Wait, I dodn´t know they still did it. That actually makes me kinda happy

stay strong soldier
