''Herobrine'' originated from a post on [[4chan]]'s [[wikipedia:/v/|/v/]] board, detailing a player's encounter with an entity with glowing white eyes in ''[[wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]]''. The concept of a white-eyed paranormal being in the game emerged from this narrative, marking the start of ''Minecraft'' [[creepypasta]]. The story spread on the Minecraft Forum, involving a myth about "White Eyes," a female creature with blank white eyes stalking players. It evolved into the Herobrine myth, with different versions describing him as the deceased brother of Notch and taking the form of a human entity with white eyes. The story narrates an encounter in Minecraft with Herobrine, involving strange behaviors and mysterious messages.<ref name="mwiki">https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Herobrine</ref> | ''Herobrine'' originated from a post on [[4chan]]'s [[wikipedia:/v/|/v/]] board, detailing a player's encounter with an entity with the appearance of a default Steve skin with glowing white eyes in ''[[wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]]''.

While many are familiar with the ''Herobrine'' story, the identity of the entity remains a question. There is a rare suggestion that ''Herobrine'' is an otherworldly entity from a different dimension that has somehow manifested itself in Minecraft. Others propose that ''Herobrine'' is a virus or glitch that found its way into ''[[wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]]'', causing chaos. It's also possible that ''Herobrine'' was once a mob or boss in the game that was removed for unknown reasons. Herobrine himself could be a figment of the player's imagination. Those who claim to have 'seen' him may be imagining ''Herobrine'' haunting their game. Many assume that before ''Herobrine'' passed away, he was a miner who died and was mysteriously brought back to life, now haunting not only Minecraft but also the abandoned mineshafts where he presumably worked when alive.<ref>https://creepypasta-biographies.fandom.com/wiki/Herobrine</ref> | While many are familiar with the ''Herobrine'' story, the identity of the entity remains a question.

Streamer Copeland decided to craft a hoax for his Brocraft stream after stumbled upon the ''Herobrine'' story on 4chan's /v/ board. He edited ''Herobrine'' into screenshots and, during a livestream, made a staged encounter within a work-in-progress house. Copeland pretended to be frightened, shared the video on forums, sparking debates about its authenticity, with others contributing edited ''Herobrine'' screenshots. Later, user Patimuss conducted a stream with a re-textured door resembling ''Herobrine'', exposing the ruse. Copeland was displeased with Patimuss for revealing the deception. Additionally, Copeland shared a [http://web.archive.org/web/20130710001351/http://ghostinthestream.net/him.html website link], potentially inspiring the "Him" nickname, featuring an eerie image and a slightly altered version of another [[creepypasta]] titled "[https://www.creepypasta.com/wake-up/ Wake Up?]" that hinted at an escape to a fantasy world.<ref name="mwiki" /><ref name="creepypastafiles" /> | Streamer Copeland decided to craft a hoax for his Brocraft stream after stumbled upon the ''Herobrine'' story on 4chan's /v/ board.
