|-|Part 1 - Herobrine=
August 13, 2010
victorfran317 (Frankie) had recently created a Minecraft world and began to progress in the game, when she saw a figure in the distance.
It was a default player, but with empty eyes. Frankie took a screenshot before it ran off into the fog. Continuing to play the game, she found 2x2 tunnels in cliffsides, pyramids made out of sand in the water, and forests with all the trees missing their leaves. 
She tried creating a forum post on the Minecraft Forums, but it was deleted. A user named Herobrine told her to "Stop." However, there was no user "Herobrine" - the page returned a 404 error. 
Frankie got an email from someone named 3DVincent (Vin), who had also seen the mystery character, and had similar man-made features in his world. Vin introduced Frankie to a small group of players who had had similar happenings.
|-|Part 2 - Null=
April 6th, 2011
Later on, after hearing about Herobrine, Thespeed179 (Mart) encountered a similar mysterious entity in his world. The player had a pitch black skin with no discernible features and seemed passive, simply wandering the world. However, after upgrading versions, this mysterious figure vanished. 
August 1, 2013
Eventually, Mart got the launcher update that allowed him to replay old versions. On version 1.2.5, Mart noticed some things that were out of place for a world: a redstone torch in the forest, and a sign simply saying "null" on his door. After that, a glitched sound started playing, like a whimper or a growl, followed by the most recent Herobrine sighting to date.
October 22, 2013
Later, Mart rejoined another world, this time in 1.7, and was looking for a place to build but couldn't find one. He built his home in a suboptimal location, then left the world for a few days. Afterwards, when he logged on, he was in a deep tunnel near bedrock, which was lit only by the occasional redstone torch. Following the tunnel, it resulted in finding another sign that was asking for help about an entity known as "Null". Afterwards, this was revealed to actually be HEROBRINE asking for help, and that Herobrine's relatively passive behavior during the initial sightings actually coincided with a friendly nature.
|-|Part 3 - 303=
December 11, 2013
Frankie emailed Mart about an "entity" in their world... that wasn't Herobrine.
Frankie, Vin, John, and Brady were playing together. At this point they were expecting the regular encounter with Herobrine or occasional encounter with Null.
What they got was a whole lot different. They had built up a large city in the desert called Drybones. And using a plugin, they found that a player named "player.number:303" had used the command "/stop". This was interesting, given "Stop" was Herobrine's catchphrase, but 303 wasn't Herobrine - he was some kind of hacker on the server; Herobrine's signs are generally relatively passive. While Frankie and Vin were traveling to the nearest forest to gather wood, they saw a white, ghostly figure on a hill in the desert. Additionally they noticed that some of the oak logs were replaced with birch. 3DVincent got kicked from both the Skype call and the server, which causes John to freak out at the hacker (Entity 303). Frankie ran after 303, but 303 vanished. The screen began glitching as Frankie's character was locked in place, as if it was out in old Optifine's floating point/z-fighting errors. John exited the call, so did Brady. 303 began summoning objects - upon later inspection of the world, pigs. 303 joined the Skype call, and the facecam was completely black. A faint voice, sounding like a high-pitched voice changer, said "Make a wish". Going back on Minecraft, Fran saw "MAKE A WISH" and "FILE OVERLOAD" spammed in chat, then 303 ran up to her character and the game crashed. The world was corrupted, though recovered data was able to mostly reconstitute it. Brady, John, Vincent, and Frankie met up to discuss the incident at school the next day. After this, Mart created a server that was designed to protect against interference by 303. It contained the recovered original Drybones world (which Frankie's friend group went on to complete). After the completion of Drybones, the server was opened to the public, and became known as the Sulfur of Immunity, and later, after the threat of 303 subsided, the Sulfur Network.
|-|Addendum - Dramatizations=
The most well known versions of these stories are Zac1K's versions, which are dramatized.
Notch never had a brother - Herobrine being Notch's brother was added in a dramatization published by Zac1K.
Vincent and John, despite having been reported to commit suicide in a dramatization of the Entity 303 story published by Zac1K, are still around, and are currently admins of the Sulfur Network. Zac1K's dramatization also added additional comments about 303's nonexistent real-life influence, which were likely designed to scare people. Their story also added Entity 303 being a team of former Mojang employees - according to all known sightings, Entity 303, Null, and Herobrine exist solely within Minecraft. 
Note that sightings of 303 and Null ceased with the release of Minecraft 1.8 on 2014-09-02. The username "Sojourner77" claims to be 303, though it is unlikely (as of 1.16). Herobrine has been spotted after that point, however.
