ZerannyHere I will list points for and against Herobrine being real or not.
For:
-Many stories
-Many people claim to have seen him
-The update logs
-The original post about Herobrine
-Random things happening in singleplayer worlds
Against:
-No proof for the majority of stories
-People who claim to see him have no proof
-Most people are positive that Notch was trolling with the update logs
-Notch confirmed his non-existance
-The original poster confirmed his non-existance
-The mob "human" or "monster" was retextured in most cases (this mob would attack players where as in the original story he would not attack)
-The live streaming that showed Herobrine was later proven fake
-No credible person has had 'contact' with Herobrine
-There is no Herobrine hidden in the code
-There is not image file that can be used for Herobrine's skin
-It would require a lot of coding to get Herobrine to do what most of these people claim he does and Notch would not put development time aside to work on something that only a few people would see.A hoax was staged on August 30, 2010 on the “Brocraft” stream (which is now known as “Ghost in the stream”). Copeeland, the stream’s creator, showed Herobrine, actually just a retextured painting or iron door, near the end of the stream at 20:45:
A few notes about the original Creepypasta:
-Notch could not have coded something that comes into your singleplayer world, builds, destroys and watches you and then hack the minecraftforum to delete your post and give you a 404, or make an automated forum account that sends you a pm and deletes itself.
-Notch has no brother (nor a dead brother)
-Creepypasta stories are so common, and this is obviously one.
A quote from another PMC user (Erithon)First, the creepypasta. The 'person' in the fog is a retextured iron door. We do have the ability to retexture objects however we choose. Ever notice how any 'photo evidence' never shows Herobrine in any position but standing still with his arms straight at his sides? And he's never facing an angle, nor is his head ever turned. It's always straight (with relation to the blocks).
Second, Herobrine was created by kizzycocoa, not Notch. Notch had nothing to do with it and it's long been admitted that it was a hoax.
Third, the 'Removed Herobrine' comment in the patch notes has nothing to do with Herobrine himself. Instead, it was the removal of the Human mob from the game's coding. Before it's removal, Herobrine could easily be faked by changing the char.png file's eyes to be white and using SinglePlayerCommands to spawn a human. They were hostile mobs (because they were unfinished) and, since they were mobs, would have no nameplate above their heads. Being hostile, they'd attack the player on sight, which actually violates the original creepypasta in that Herobrine only appeared to be watching the player from a distance, but otherwise be passive.
If you have anything valuable to add to either list please post below.
But other than that the proof is highly in favour of him NOT existing.
