And even without any evidence, the legend of Herobrine kept growing. Despite Notch having denied having any brother, dead or alive, some Minecraft fans kept believing that Herobrine was Notch’s brother who had returned to haunt Minecraft. Some Minecraft players even started saying that Herobrine was the dead brother of Notch, the creator of Minecraft. It so happened that these corruptions became the story of Herobrine. Minecraft players began reporting corruptions in their singleplayer survival gameplay - entire forests with no leaves on the bark, weird structures that could not have naturally spawned in the world, and even manmade 2 × 2 tunnels in underground caves. The creepy legend first came to surface in a Minecraft player’s unclear screenshot, in which the player reported to have spotted a figure with white glowing eyes in his singleplayer world.Īt first, the image was ignored by the Minecraft community but soon, an urban legend was weaved around the mysterious figure. While Herobrine has never actually existed in vanilla Minecraft, his story has been around for a little over 10 years now.
