The modding community pulled open the game's code and made the game's base textures publicly available, illustrating that Herobrine was not present. Not only did Minecraft's creator publicly deny Herobrine's existence, but fans had also dug into the game's files by this point. The 2010 Copeland stream may have been incredibly convincing for the time, but it didn't take long for the myth to be debunked. Dedicated fans have even been able to figure out the exact world-generation seed that was used for the original Herobrine creepypasta image, and have since nicknamed it "Herobrine Hill." There's even a running joke in the official Minecraft patch notes, wherein Herobrine is "removed" in every update. There have been countless fanworks that have featured the character, including some truly terrifying mods. Given he pulled this off back in 2010, this was an incredibly well-executed scare that helped elevate Herobrine's popularity.Īfter the original Copeland stream, Herobrine became an iconic character in the Minecraft community. Copeland screams, and the stream promptly ends. Said encounter involves Copeland walking into his in-game house, only to come across Herobrine standing in one of the rooms. The actual stream that Copeland did has since been archived and confirmed to be lost, but both written accounts and clips of the staged Herobrine encounter do exist.
