Q&A for How to Kill Herobrine in Minecraft

Since it is dark out, it will be difficult to see him, and he could sneak up on you at any moment.

Do you have an old version? If you do, Herobrine is real. Mojang and Notch did not add Herobrine -- a hacker added Herobrine in Minecraft.

Herobrine does not have a set amount of health points. It depends on what mod you download to how hard he is to kill. Sometimes, mod makers, try to keep the Herobrine thing going by adding him into the mod without any information about him in the description. You may encounter Herobrine even without a Herobrine mod so beware that the health may vary.

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. The fact that you cannot see anything in Herobrine's eyes heightens his fear factor.

In creative mode, Herobrine can teleport, fly, make commands, and turn invisible.

Herobrine has always been a fake. He has existed in the older versions of Minecraft due to hackers and trolls. Mojang staff may sometimes access single player worlds to have a laugh about Herobrine. It was originally Mojang that introduced Herobrine as a joke.

It was probably a hacker going by as Herobrine. Take precautions to keep your worlds safe against them.

The wither boss is stronger, but Herobrine is more strategic, and therefore a better fighter.

Herobrine is supposed to be Notch's dead brother who haunts Minecraft players throughout the game, but Notch does not have a brother. Using special features, Mojang members entered single player worlds and pretended to be Herobrine as a joke.

Yes, the only reason you can't fight him at night is because you can't see him. If you do this beware of any other monsters hunting around at night. Night vision potion only takes away the darkness of night, not the monsters.

Your friend probably installed a mod and pretended he didn't do so, in order to scare you. Or, if your friend seems genuine, it could be that someone else did that to your friend.

If you were on a multiplayer world, it was most likely another player who killed you. Herobrine does not exist in Minecraft.

It's probably glitching because you have an old phone or tablet. Upgrade.

It depends on what mod you're playing. He drops anything from weapons to potions.

No.

It was probably a troll player.

Yes, seeing signs saying things such as "I'm watching you" is a common thing when Herobrine is in your world. Thunder is also common if Herobrine is in your world.

No, he's a myth that requires a mod to access.

No, he isn't coded into the game. Just make sure that none on your multi-players have a mid with him in.

It may appear sometimes, but it is very rare to see it appear.

If you have the mod, yes. Otherwise, he can appear rarely in older editions.

Mojang originally made a single-player world and player as Herobrine as a joke, but a hackers and trolls made Herobrine in the older editions.

Herobrine is fully hostile and cannot be made an ally. Usually he’s quick and won’t allow you to even say a word before he attacks.

None of them exist in real Minecraft. If you didn't download a mod, then it is a hacker. If you did download a mod, then it is Herobrine.

As the mods vary, you can normally kill him with a command block. Type in /kill @e[type=herobrine] or /kill herobrine to kill him.

Re the second point: He doesn't. Re the first point: That's the story of the joke this creepypasta started with. A dev joined a player's singleplayer, using a skin with white eyes (skins were experimental at that point, so no one could know). Then that player investigated, and got his post deleted and was told by a dev's second account (named Herobrine) to stop. After a bit of back and forth, that second (or same) dev claimed to be Notch's brother. Then Notch was asked whether he has a brother. That's exactly what the team had hoped for. Notch answered that his brother is dead, and the creepypasta was complete.

Most mods will tell you in the description. If they don't, it's trial and error. Most of the time, he will be just a relatively fast, player-sized entity (usually with a lot of health) that can be killed in any normal way. Mods like Damage Indicators are helpful to see whether you're damaging him or not. If one weapon doesn't do anything, try another. The current version has melee weapons, arrows, spectral/tipped arrows, fireworks (from crossbows), tridents and potions. Very rarely, an unusual approach is necessary, such as using a tamed wolf, tricking Herobrine into provoking a bee or Zombie Piglin, or luring him into fall damage/suffocation/etc. Also, in some mods you can't kill him.

He was already killed during the backstory. He's nowhere to find anymore. Unless you have a mod, then he either gets summoned or simply can spawn anywhere.

In most mods, he's always aggressive. Some add passive Herobrine variations, but those just watch you from a distance. I'm not aware of any mod where Herobrine spawns mobs while passive. However, it would make sense if he usually attacked by spawning minions, then once you killed them all he would take matters into his own hands, so there's actually a good chance there's a mod where that's true.

They will usually come from different mods that aren't designed with each other in mind, so most of the time you'd have to fight both at once. Also, there is a high chance of absolute havoc. That said, your question did put an epic fight between Wither Storm and Herobrine pretty high on my wishlist, so a mod featuring both and having them antagonize each other might see the light of day.
