Herobrine is a community-made creepypasta rumored to be the ghost of of the dead brother of Notch (the game's original creator) in Minecraft.

Herobrine is NOT in the vanilla game, never has been and more than likely never will be; furthermore Notch does not have a brother, dead or alive.

Herobrine's origins date back to August 2010, with a post on 4chan, with a description giving context, talking about how he posted his experiences on the forums but apparently they were almost instantly deleted, and was directly messages by Herobrine to stop, with Herobrin's user page 404ing. He later claims to have reieved an email from a mod on the incident who also stated to have seen him. Later somehow finding out it was Notch's dead brother, he supposedly asked Notch i an email if he had a brother, who apparently replied he had one, but he had passed away.
