title="Minecraft">Minecraft</a></i>, originating from an anonymous post on the imageboard website <a href="/wiki/4chan" title="4chan">4chan</a> in 2010. He is depicted as a version of the <i>Minecraft</i> character <a href="/wiki/Steve_(Minecraft)" title="Steve (Minecraft)">Steve</a>, but with solid white eyes that lack pupils. In numerous iterations, Herobrine has possessed several different unnatural abilities, from constructing unusual structures to possessing animals such as sheep. Other claims about Herobrine include those that describe him to be the deceased brother of <a href="/wiki/Markus_Persson" title="Markus Persson">Notch</a>, the creator of <i>Minecraft</i>. It is also rumored that he appears during single-player mode. After the original sightings were published on 4chan, <a href="/wiki/Online_streamer" title="Online streamer">livestreamers</a> Copeland and Patimuss created their own takes on the story, staging sightings and the former creating a webpage oriented around the character. </p><p>After the livestreams, interest in the character rose tremendously. Herobrine became a popular part of the <i>Minecraft</i> community, with interest in the character sparking numerous people to create their own alleged sightings of the character, as well as creating <a href="/wiki/Minecraft_modding" title="Minecraft modding"><i>Minecraft</i> mods</a> that add him to the game. Interest in the character continued into the 2020s, leading to the rediscovery of media related to the original sightings. Herobrine has been considered one of the most notable legends in video games, with his popularity leading to him ranking on a poll for the best video game villains despite never existing within the game. The character has effectively become an <a href="/wiki/Internet_meme" title="Internet meme">internet meme</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origins">Origins</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Herobrine_Sighting.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/Herobrine_Sighting.png/220px-Herobrine_Sighting.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="123" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/Herobrine_Sighting.png/330px-Herobrine_Sighting.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/Herobrine_Sighting.png/440px-Herobrine_Sighting.png 2x" data-file-width="511" data-file-height="286" /></a><figcaption>The screenshot provided in the original Herobrine sighting, posted to 4chan in 2010.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Herobrine can be spotted in the fog to the left of the hill.</figcaption></figure> <p>In 2010, during <i><a href="/wiki/Minecraft" title="Minecraft">Minecraft</a></i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> alpha stage of development, an anonymous post was made on <a href="/wiki/4chan" title="4chan">4chan</a>'s /v/ board, where the author claimed to encounter a mysterious entity while playing <i>Minecraft</i>. The post claimed that shortly after starting a new world in <i>Minecraft</i>, the author saw what they believed to be a cow in the distance, which they approached in order to kill it. Upon approaching it, they instead saw a second player character with solid white eyes staring at them from the fog, before vanishing. After the encounter, the author noticed numerous strange structures they did not create. When trying to contact other players about the event, the author found their posts removed, eventually receiving a message from a user named "Herobrine" that simply said "stop." The anonymous post went on to claim that other players informed him that Herobrine was the alias of the brother of <a href="/wiki/Markus_Persson" title="Markus Persson">Notch</a>, the creator of <i>Minecraft</i>. The 4chan post claimed that Notch said, in response to queries about whether he had a brother, that "I did, but he is no longer with us."<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Around the same time, another anonymous post on 4chan wrote about another entity the author claimed to encounter in a cave after listening to the in-game music disc "13," which also had white eyes that lurked in the fog. This encounter was simply named "White Eyes", and was believed to be related to Herobrine.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Shortly after the original stories were published, <a href="/wiki/Live_streamers" class="mw-redirect" title="Live streamers">livestreamers</a> Copeland and Patimuss, the former of which saw and liked the original posts, staged Herobrine encounters of their own. In Copeland's stream, he played in a survival world with a custom texture pack for around two hours while working on a house. After entering a room he was planning on furnishing, he saw Herobrine staring at him and he quickly left the area, traveling a long distance before falling into lava while Herobrine watched him burn to death. This encounter was created by Copeland modifying in-game textures to make Herobrine appear. Afterwards, viewers of the livestream were redirected to a <a href="/wiki/GIF" title="GIF">GIF</a> depicting Herobrine with moving, realistic eyes. In Patimuss' stream, he encountered Herobrine walking on lava while playing the game, before promptly shutting the game down.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After Copeland's stream, it was claimed that his computer crashed when trying to go live again afterwards. He additionally shared a webpage with the title "him.html". The page featured a gif of Steve, the default skin of <i>Minecraft</i>, with his pixelated eyes replaced with realistic, moving ones, as well as text at the bottom that wrote about how the reader was "living in a fantasy world inside their mind" and needed to "wake up." This granted Herobrine the additional nickname "HIM." After these streams, the popularity of Herobrine spread across the <i>Minecraft</i> community, with people creating their own alleged sightings to this day, as well as developing <i>Minecraft</i> <a href="/wiki/Video_game_modding" title="Video game modding">mods</a> to add the character to the game themselves.
