📝The Background:

This is the official Herobrine mod which re-implements the ORIGINAL features of the creepypasta into Minecraft.

(This mod does NOT spawn Herobrine as a boss, since he was never a boss in the first place...)

 

👉 Herobrine Returns implements the original Herobrine Totem which can be used to spawn Herobrine himself.

👉 Herobrine will rarely spawn in your world and stalk you, before disappearing without a trace. You might also find Signs, Redstone torches, and Pyramids with Redstone torches on top of them around your world randomly.

Originally after doing research and debugging I came to the conclusion that Herobrine was actually just a mob bug in early Alpha. It was known that mobs would sometimes despawn within a 20-30 block distance from the player in front of their eyes, such as zombies (you can see this yourself on early alpha builds!) which sometimes would be mistaken as Herobrine. Herobrine was basically a "bug" entity which would appear in your game then disappear while making small changes to your world.

 

I've come across many Herobrine mods myself which are either unrealistic by making him a boss or too obvious with events happening way too often.

 

In this mod, you start your world normally, and things don't start happening right away... Over time you will notice weird things within your map, and if you do get lucky, you might even see Herobrine yourself! Try to get him on video so you can share your friends your sightings!

📝Spawning Herobrine

Requirements:

✅ 8 Gold Blocks

✅ 4 Redstone Torches

✅ 1 Mossy Cobblestone

✅ 1 Netherrack

✅ 1 Flint & Steel

 

Guide:

1️⃣ Place down Mossy Cobble Stone

2️⃣ Place all 8 Gold Blocks (AROUND) the Mossy Cobblestone Block

3️⃣ Place Netherrack on top of the Mossy Cobblestone Block

4️⃣ Place 4 Redstone Torches on each Gold Block with the side of the Netherrack (As seen in the image depicted above)

5️⃣ Light the Netherrack with Flint & Steel

 

 👉 Herobrine will then spawn, but only for a few seconds before vanishing again without a trace.

(If you don't want to wait for Herobrine to appear naturally, you can spawn him to make the process quicker)

((SPAWN EGG IS NOW ALSO INCLUDED IN CREATIVE MODE FOR VIDEO/CINEMATIC PURPOSES!))
