Highlights
- Herobrine, a famous gaming creepypasta, started with a hoax live stream by content creator Copeland which featured a blank-eyed version of Minecraft mascot Steve.
- That live stream has been missing ever since it was taken down in 2010, though a recreation has been made with the help of Copeland himself.
- However, a piece of Minecraft history has been restored, as a YouTuber called Brutalillfjomp uploaded the stream to their channel on Monday, having had the saved stream on their computer since 2010.
If you’ve played Minecraft, or were just on the internet in the 2010s, chances are you’ll have heard of Herobrine. It’s a story that’s up there with some of gaming’s most famous creepypastas, as a live stream featuring a creepy version of Minecraft mascot Steve with plain white eyes was posted by a content creator known as Copeland.
Of course, it was all a massive hoax, and that live stream eventually vanished, as did Copeland himself, but the story of Herobrine became the stuff of legends. It’s something that even Minecraft developer Mojang Studios has alluded to a few times, including little nods in patch notes and the game’s main manu splash screen with updates like “removed Herobrine.”
