I don't know if you've seen some strange phenomena in Minecraft, such as when you were wandering around the game, you suddenly saw a 2×2 tunnel, or some strange buildings, such as pyramids in the sea, and a large tree trunk in the forest without leaves.
If you've seen the above scene, you have to be very careful, because it was probably Herobrine who did it.
The horror stories or urban legends in the game have always been a point of concern for players, especially in a super famous game like Minecraft, and there are many urban legends that have been circulated, and I believe that everyone has heard of a few of them, but today we focus on the most famous and most curious characters, which is commonly known as the white-eyed Steve - Herobrine.
Next, let's take a closer look at this character, as well as its horror urban legends, and explore whether Herobrine really exists, or whether he is just a character that everyone imagines. If you want to know the answer, let's get started.
I believe most players know the character of Herobrine in Minecraft, or this ghost-like thing. Players' first impression of Herobrine is basically a very scary ghost, often hiding in a corner silently monitoring the player's every move, and there are many videos of encounters with Herobrine on the Internet, but today I will tell you the story of Herobrine in more detail.
Herobrine, also known as HIM or White-Eyed Steve, would be called HIM because the full name of HIM is Herobrine in Minecraft, and HIM also has his meaning, giving people the feeling of some unknown creature in the dark.
Will be called white-eyed Steve does not need to explain much, Herobrine is very similar to Steve in terms of body shape and clothing, the only difference is in the eyes, Herobrine's most iconic is his white shiny eyes, so basically as soon as he appears, the player can immediately recognize.
So what's so special about Herobrine?
First he looks terrifying, and then rumor has it that he has an infinite number of blocks in Minecraft, which means that he can build everything he wants to build in the game, as well as the ability to manipulate day and night and thunder. In addition, he has the ability to control neutral mobs and players.
After getting a rough idea of what Herobrine is, let's talk about his background.
Herobrine first appeared in August 2010, but not in the film and screenshots, but in a post on the Internet, the author of which described that he encountered some strange things in Minecraft, which is briefly summarized here;
First he said that he had opened a new world, and set the mode to single-player mode, and at first everything was normal, but suddenly he noticed that something seemed to be moving nearby, and then he followed the movement into the forest, and suddenly there was a creature standing in front of him. Because his computer configuration is not high, the rendering distance is not high, so it is impossible to see what is in the distance. At first he thought it was a cow, but as he slowly approached, he found that standing there was not a cow, but a character who looked exactly like Steve but had glowing eyes, and there was no player's name on his head.
Soon after the character disappeared, and seeing this, he checked the mode he had set up first, but when he went back to check, he found that he had been in single-player mode all the time, and it was impossible for any other players to appear in the game. Although it was weird, he chose to keep playing, but something even weird happened.
He noticed a lot of variation around him, he found a 2×2 tunnel on the edge of the cliff, then a very strangely built pyramid in the middle of the ocean, and of course a forest of leaves, which was obviously not naturally generated, like a real-life crop circle, which must have meant something.
Feeling more and more strange, he chose to go to the forum to check whether there was any relevant information, but he couldn't find anything, so he chose to post his experience to the forum to see if any players had the same experience. Five minutes later, the post disappeared for no reason, which made him feel even more strange, so he uploaded it again, but this time it disappeared faster than the last time, and he received a private message with the username Herobrine, just four letters: Stop.
The man seems to be warning him not to pass the secret around, and it's worth noting that Herobrine's name comes from the mysterious account. Of course, he also clicked on this account with curiosity, and only 404 errors appeared.
About a month later, there was some news about Herobrine on the Internet again, and this time some netizens said that they had found the real identity of Herobrine, behind which was actually a player from Sweden, and this player often used the name Herobrine in the game. At this point, you may notice that there is any connection between Sweden and Minecraft?
Yes, the founder of "Minecraft", Notch, is from Sweden, and it is said that some netizens found out that this mysterious person named Herobrine is Notch's brother.
This makes the role of Herobrine even more bizarre, in fact, at this time, Herobrine is not so widely known, and his real explosion is a few months later.
A player named Copeland met Herobrine during the live Minecraft, and after the live broadcast, a lot of players began to discuss the matter, and the film spread to major social media, and in an instant Herobrine became the hottest topic in the Minecraft community at that time, and many players began to focus on finding Herobrine.
After Herobrine explodes, players also find that they will hear strange noises in the cave that they have never heard before, feeling as if Herobrine is calling to you. Since then, the urban legend of Herobrine has been passed down to the present day, and it has a very high popularity.
So at this point, players must be curious if Herobrine is real?
In fact, on this point, there is already an answer on the Internet, and Notch also responded that he only has a sister, and the Herobrine live broadcast clip just mentioned has also been confirmed to be acted out, the anchor has sent out his own screenshot of Herobrine on the Internet before the live broadcast, did not expect to attract the attention of many players, so he carefully planned such a thrilling live show.
So what do the authorities think about this?
In fact, the appearance of Herobrine not only did not cause any harm to the game, but even created more traffic, so the official began to confuse players to respond vaguely, and the word Herobrine appeared many times in the update information, and then it was officially deleted, making players feel as if Herobrine really existed.
At this point, it is basically the end, so what do you think about Herobrine? Do you think Herobrine is real? Or is it just an urban legend that deceives children?
