A
human like mob (NPC to classify him
right) was claimed to "haunt" the game Minecraft.
He used the default
skin, but has pure white eyes. This was also claimed to be
Notch'
s dead brother, who somehow got into the game...
Herobrine never attacked. He stood there off in the distance staring then disappear.
He made mineshafts, and houses and other things. This is probably why now, the game Minecraft has abandoned mineshafts and npc villages. (And maybe even dungeons!)
As a
joke, Mojang (The company that made the game) puts in every update log - "Removed Herobrine"
But, he was never real. As seen from a tweet from
notch himself saying that herobrine was never real, and it was a hoax. Yet still today, younger people who are first starting off (AKA noobs) and hear about this, still believe.
Here is a picture of
Notch himself saying he was never real and that he doesn't have a dead brother.
