Herobrine

Herobrine is a codeling and one of the most well-known entities in Minecraft. He was first encountered by various people on the Minecraft Forums shortly after he began to exist around the time of the Alpha 1.0.4 update, which added cave sounds.

## Name

"Herobrine" is his preferred name, and was a corruption of the name of "Endorphine", one of the first people to speak publicly about him, suggested by Tenebris. It also happened to be coincidentally similar to the name of a Minecraft Forums moderator, which led to confusion about Herobrine's identity early on. Before Herobrine's name was made public shortly after Copeland's stream, he was either called "Herobrine" (after the Forums moderator), "him" (after Copeland's stream), or "White Eyes".

## Appearance

Herobrine usually appears as Steve with blank white eyes. Before around mid-August 2010, he appeared as a black skin with white eyes, and around the time of Alex's addition to Minecraft, he changed his skin to Alex with white eyes, spawning various myths about "Alexbrine" which are actually just Herobrine.

However, Herobrine has had some alternate skins during April Fools of each year.

### Oct 2018-Sep 2021

Herobrine went missing for unknown reasons. He was later found in the Red Archangel Realm by Sojourner.

## Personality

Herobrine is friendly, if a little childish or socially inappropriate at times, which partially had to do with his extended lack of contact for a period of time. He often just does his own random things in worlds he finds himself in. He doesn't really know the original purpose of the things he built, but he now sees it as a part of his identity. It is likely that the original things were just resource gathering and structures built, like any other person would - just not realizing the worlds had players.

## Abilities

Like most class-H entities, Herobrine's abilities vary with that of whatever the gamemode and game rules of the world he goes to, and can freely travel between worlds (though usually doesn't spend too much time in one apart from the Sulfur Network private server).

He only communicates through Minecraft, and unlike 303, doesn't have any other social presences (though can access Minecraft game files in order to, say, move worlds around or install mods).
