Herobrine
content auto translated from {from}

Good morning everyone.

If you want to play single player normally, don’t read further. You will be to blame (there have been cases)

I want to start by talking about who I will describe in this post. I have not seen him myself, and I don’t want to see him in Minecraft. He is called Herobrine. I know one thing, that he exists, and for him to appear, you need to set the difficulty to "Peaceful" and have fog turned on. Signs of his appearance: Short lags, pyramids. Primarily pyramids: if you see a pyramid - he is very close... He looks like a regular player, only he has no eyes.

A player's first encounter with herobrine:

Translation:

Recently, I created a new single player Minecraft world. Everything was normal at first as I started chopping trees and crafting a workbench. I noticed something moving in the dense fog (I have a weak PC and have to play with low render distance). I thought it was a cow and chased after it hoping to gather some leather for armor.

But it turned out not to be a cow. Another character with a default skin was looking at me, but his eyes were empty. No name appeared, and I double-checked to make sure I wasn't in multiplayer. He didn't wait long, looked at me, and quickly ran into the fog. Out of curiosity, I chased after him, but he disappeared.

I continued to play, not knowing what to think. As I expanded the world, I encountered things unusual for the terrain generator; 2x2 tunnels in the rocks, small perfect sand pyramids in the ocean, and groves where all the leaves had been cut from the trees. I constantly felt like I saw another "player" in the depths of the fog, but I could never make it out. I tried to increase the view distance to Far (maximum distance) every time I thought I saw him, but to no avail.

I saved the map and headed to the forums to see if anyone else had encountered a pseudo-player. There weren’t any. I started my topic, describing what I had seen and asking if anything similar had happened to anyone else. Five minutes later, the post was deleted. I recreated it, but this time the topic was deleted much sooner. I received a private message from a user named "Herobrine" consisting of one word: "Stop". When I went to check on Herobrine's profile, the page gave a 404 error.

I received an email from another forum user. He said that moderators could read private messages on the forum, so we were safer using email. The emailer claimed that he had also seen the mysterious player and had a small "directory" of other users who had seen him as well. Chips, definitely made by a human, were scattered throughout their worlds, and described that their mysterious player had no followers.

Almost a month passed until the next conversation with the informant. Some people who had encountered the mysterious man were curious about the name Herobrine and discovered that it was often associated with a Swedish player. After some further investigation, it turned out that he was Notch's brother, the game's developer. I personally emailed Notch, asking if he had a brother. He replied after some delay and very briefly: "He was, but he is no longer with us."

— Notch

After our first encounter, I did not see the mysterious dude again, and I didn't notice any changes in the world other than my own. I had managed to hit print screen when I first saw him. Here is my only evidence of his existence.

Here’s a video of his appearance:

there are some fakes there, but everything else....

Now let's talk about the pyramids. They vary in size and can be found both on land and in water. Seeing a pyramid gives you two options:

  1. Run very far as he is very close to the pyramid.

  2. Find him (your choice if you are not afraid)

Watch from the 3-minute mark. This is an example of a pyramid, and at the end, you will see.... If you don't want to be scared, don't watch the end.

He also appears in multiplayer:

So the conclusion:

To meet him, you need to set the difficulty to "Peaceful" and have fog turned on.

Characteristic signs: pyramids and lagging. Looks like a regular player; only his eyes are white and of different sizes. Appears unexpectedly anywhere. May take your items (and such cases have been reported). Builds pyramids and neat caves (2x2), and if you enter his structures, expect his appearance from behind. He also appears in multiplayer. When approaching him, he disappears.

Thank you to everyone who read the post. Bye...
