Herobrine – Minecraft
Minecraft, the most popular game in the world, is supposed to be a relaxing game where you can flex your creativity. It can be an experience shared with friends or give you time to just be alone. But what if you weren’t alone?
Imagine sitting in your room at night, starting a new Minecraft world only to realize that things are off. There are already man made structures and caves and you think you keep seeing someone off in the distance.
You double check to see if you’re in multiplayer but you’re not. You finally get a look at whoever else is in the game with you, and it’s the default player skin, but the eyes are completely white.
This apparently happened to an unnamed Minecraft player who later went on to ask others if they had any similar experiences. When he tried to reach out on some forums, his posts were immediately taken down.
The player got a direct message from someone named Herobrine that said one word,
“stop”
Another forum user eventually messaged the player and told them about a small directory of people who have had similar experiences.
Upon further research, the player found out that the name Herobrine was Swedish, and that Notch, Minecraft’s creator, had a dead brother named Herobrine.
The player emailed Notch and asked him if he did in fact, have a brother, and Notch eventually replied,
“I did, but he is no longer with us”
From here, the story of the mysterious player ends, but the tale of Herobrine goes viral. Countless others have claimed to see Herobrine and have even recorded him in the game.
Mojang has even put in their patch notes that they have removed him from the game over twenty times.
But Notch apparently never had a brother named Herobrine, and if you ask some higher-ups at Mojang about this rumor, you’ll get varying responses of its authenticity. So it’s up to you to determine if you believe it or not.
