Who is Herobrine?

In August 2010, a mysterious figure known as Herobrine captured the attention of Minecraft players worldwide. It all started when a user shared an image on the Minecraft forum, claiming to have encountered strange phenomena in their world and encountering a player with no eyes. This sparked a wave of similar reports from other players before all related posts were mysteriously deleted, with the original poster receiving a message from an account named Herobrine. The speculation around Herobrine's existence continued until Beta 1.6 was released on May 31, 2011, which notably mentioned "Removed Herobrine" in the changelog. Despite this, subsequent updates also included the same message, keeping the mystery of Herobrine alive even a decade later.
