Talk:Herobrine

Herobrine (the player) still playing Minecraft?
This is shocked. While finding the real Herobrine skin, I decided to find it in mcskinsearch.com and the suprising thing is, the player changed the skin! The beard is no longer there.

Citation needed
On the part where it says: "When asked about audio player implementation in the wiki, and limits of what could be uploaded, C418 replied to Herobrine claims relating to disc 11. He stated that he cannot say a lot about 11, but that it is not anything to do with Herobrine."

- Page trivia

There should be a proper source, like linking to a reference or something. --ToonLucas22 (talk) 02:28, 7 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Added in ; I believe the source is a private conversation, but you'd have to ask Kizzycocoa for details. -- Orthotopetalk 03:15, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was an IRC conversation between C418 and myself. He said the disc is completely unrelated.
 * He could have retroactively changed his mind since to alter the "canon" of this disc, but when I talked to him, he was very clear with me. I regret that I don't have any solid source, but I had a vested interest in this page, and sought to make it professional and truthful, without letting it devolve like it had done so many times beforehand.
 * I'd advise someone try to collect a more recent comment on disc 11 to reinforce this point, and to gather a public source. --Kizzycocoa 01:22, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Spanish Interwiki
Could an admin add Herobrine to the interwikis? – LauraFi -  talk  03:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Orthotopetalk 03:58, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Pronuciation
I part of the page, it says that the pronunciation is "hero brine". Is the e pronounced like in "feet", or like in "egg"? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Contrapple (talk • contribs) at 21:44, 18 March 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

 * Usually, that's what I do, but why does it matter? ~From Contrapple Grid Empty Map.png 23:36, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The way it is broken states it is pronounced like the same words would be read, as such "hero" as you would hero. Also note that others pronounce it "hiro", which is the same as the short "e" sound, making it a useless change if they were the same. – KnightMiner  t/c 22:00, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Outdated information
In the second trivia piece, it is stated that "They have not visited either Minecon using the Herobrine username, due to their lack of a cloak texture.". If this is to remain here, 'either' should be replaced with 'any' or similar. -- Illidicia ( t + c ) 19:25, 4 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Fixed. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

16w03a Changelog
Underneath the list of changelogs Herobrine has been removed in it says: "Herobrine has not been "removed" in any snapshot version to date."

As of 16w03a this is no longer the case. Mojang's list of changes in snapshot 16w03a has "Herobrine removed" as one of the changes. --Alexgolem (talk) 01:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

This is also true of 1.11 snapshot 16w39a – DelboyDylan (talk 19:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

1.9 and 1.10
Hero brine was "removed" in 1.9 and 1.10. -PancakeMan77 (talk) 21:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Page
I was browsing the wiki, and decided to go to the [minecraft.gamepedia.com/Entity_303 Entity 303] page. I noticed it was deleted, because it violated Rule #19 (now Rule #4): no hoaxes/legends. This definitely falls under that category, and thus I believe it should be deleted. TySkyo (Talk•Contribs) 17:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Brocraft Stream Footage found?
Curious, I decided to try and search for the original Brocraft stream, and I found a video on YouTube which shows what seems to be exactly this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LXE-FKSv8c Is this legitimate footage? The sound was taken out and replaced with just creepy ambience, and the footage was only of the Herobrine sighting and nothing else, but I do believe this was the original footage. It even included a part at the end which wasn't documented anywhere: The streamer running out of the room, and straight into a lava pool, where he turns around right before dying to see Herobrine again, watching him. Someone might wanna add this into the page somewhere. ISmile02 (talk) 06:27, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sadly, this is a fake. --Kizzycocoa 01:13, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

1.11
The Changelogs section needs updating for 1.11. As far as I know, the removal of Herobrine was only mentioned in the tumblr feed, viewed via the launcher (same as 1.7.2 etc.). – DelboyDylan (talk 19:25, 1 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Added to editcopy. – DelboyDylan (talk 08:52, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Found two poor copies of the stream
I found two poor copies of the stream on Youtube, however they are of poor quality and without sound. An original copy is yet to be found, still.

JA links
Please add a link to Japanese version.-- Beans1512 Talk/Contribs 11:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * For an admin to add an interwiki, they must know the name of the page. Since most of them probably do not speak Japanese, you will need to provide a link on this talk page that they can copy and paste. The BlobsPaper.png 23:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Herobrine in Japanese name is "Herobrine" as it is.-- Beans1512 Talk/Contribs 07:43, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Quote being overlapped
The quote "It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not..." is overlapped by the image File:HerobrineBrocastCreepyPage.gif. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:19, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

No longer a legacy account
I decided to look it over again. The statement which I previously added is no longer the case: the API no longer returns. Plenty of speculation can be made from this, which I won't engage in here. In any case, you can see the old archive from 15 Feb 2015 10:38:23 UTC and a fresh archive from just now; some time in the past two and a half years the account was migrated (and that strongly implies active use). The statement in the article should probably be updated (though, it'd be great to have a more precise date). --Pokechu22 (talk) 06:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

No capital “a” in “after removing all non-alphabet characters”
In the section “Origins and popularity”, just before the quote there is no capital “a” in “Below the face, there are a jumble of characters and letters. after removing all non-alphabet characters, the following message is revealed:” --Cherryblossom000 (talk) 07:17, 25 July 2017‎ (UTC)

Entity 303
Should I start a sandbox about [//minecraftcreepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Entity_303 Entity 303]? – Dentedharp90041tce 14:08, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it recognized by Mojang in any way? If not, I personally don't think it deserves a page on this wiki. --Pepijn (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Mojang somewhat recognizes Entity 303 because Notch tweeted something related to it (can't cite sources due to gphelp:Gamepedia AWS Migration). – Dentedharp90041tce 23:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd say no. Doesn't deserve any mention.  I'm the maintainer of wiki.vg's Entities article.  No entity 303. --Pokechu22 (talk) 23:51, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you please state your reason of disagreeing? – Dentedharp90041tce 00:37, 17 October 2017 (UTC)


 * We only have this page because Herobrine has been repeatedly referenced by Mojang. As a rule, the wiki does not document community fanfiction/creepypasta/hoaxes/whatnot. I'm not sure why the migration would prevent linking to Twitter, but a single tweet isn't likely to be enough justification for another exception to our policy. -- Orthotopetalk 03:22, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Photoshopped image
On the article, there is the image file:screenshotttt.png, captioned "The image Copeland photoshopped, which led to him starting the hoax stream"; I think the image should be annotated (either in the caption or drawn on the image) to mark where Herobrine is. It took me a couple minutes to find him.Slscool (talk) 20:57, 11 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I think images from other people must not be edited unless they will give us permission to do so. Therefore, it should not be annotated. – Dentedharp90041tce 10:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
