Herobrine also known as the Ghost of Minecraft is a legend, myth, etc about this guy who has a regular skin and glowing blue eyes. The story can be told many ways but the one I've heard is about him being adicted to Diamond everything. He was exploring a vast cave system and had all his Diamonds on him and he when to get another block and fell into lava. It killed him and he lost everything. Herobrine never respawned after that horrible day. So now his ghost wonders Minecraft servers looking for victims to kill and take their loot. He is said to be wielding a diamond sword that never breaks and he can be trapped or summoned by making a shrine made out of Diamond blocks surrounded by touches.

Ok, he is supposed to be notches dead brother, and is not really in the game. He is not haunting Minecraft. Notch puts "Removed Herobrine" just to scare people. The only story is: Herobrine is Notch's dead brother, somehow embedded into Minecraft. While this is the "canon", this is also completely false in reality, as Notch has no brother.

Ghost aside, there are two plausible canon theories remaining.

Herobrine shows a lot of characteristics of being a form of virus, such as manipulating game worlds, deleting threads and sending messages through the Minecraft Forums. Perhaps also hacking into Notch's email and twitter to reply on his own existence. Or, Herobrine is simply a figment of the users imagination. All users the user talked to, including Notch's email reply, could simply be the creation of the player's mind. this would also explain Notch's rejection of the canon, as showing the story is all in the user's head.

Herobrine is near-certainly inspired by Slenderman, who is also the inspiration behind Endermen.


The most popular theories among users is that Herobrine is a ghost. Other theories can involve him being a higher being, a demon, a bad omen, or the suggestions in the Canonical explaination. However, most of these are written as if Minecraft itself is reality, rather than from the player controlling the avatar within the game. Herobrine canonically has not appeared in real life, and remains confined to technology.
