Herobrine: Difference between revisions

On July 31, 2010, [[Minecraft Forum]] user Flaky posted a comment, supposedly copied from a post on 4chan's /v/ board, containing a story of a player encountering an entity with glowing white eyes after listening to the [[Music Disc 13|"13" music disc]].<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/archive/alpha/alpha-survival-single-player/814622-13-ogg-a-work-of-fiction-updated-nov-7-twice?page=3#c54|title=(Note: Copied from /v/, I didn't write this and the poster was Anonymous)|website=Minecraft Forum|author=Flaky|date=July 31, 2010}}</ref> One supposed instance of these eyes was linked in the comment, which was a YouTube upload of "13" posted the previous day (the same day that the disc was added to the game), showing a [[screenshot]] of a dark [[cave]] with two white eyes edited into the bottom left corner.<ref>{{ytl|2cFpTSQDyzo|Minecraft "music" - 13.ogg|Curchack Curchack|July 30, 2010.}}</ref> This story is the first known instance of the concept of a creepypasta regarding a white-eyed paranormal being in ''Minecraft''.

{{Q|The Herobrine stuff is awesome and kind of scary at the same time. It really shows how little control a content producer has over the content.<br><br>I've publicly told people there's never been any such thing as Herobrine, and that I don't have any dead brothers, and that letting too many animals die in lava is a fool proof way to summon him but that you don't need to be afraid of him. He only means well, he's looking out for you, trying to warn you of the dangers you can't see. There certainly are NO physical manifestations of Herobrine that will sneak out of your computer if you leave ''Minecraft'' running at night, looming over you as you sleep with his pale eyes inches away from your face, as he tries to shout at you to wake up. Sometimes you wake up with a jolt, and he's gone, and all that lingers is the memory and faint echo of his wordless screaming. Of course it was just a dream. There's no way a morally dubious ghost with a god complex could at any point decide to haunt the children who play my game "for their own good", as there is NO SUCH THING. etc etc|[[Notch]]|Herobrine<ref>{{reddit|qqenq/minceraft_a_post_mortem|c3zmd7n|The Herobrine stuff is awesome and kind of scary at the same time.
