The story dates back more than a decade when a streamer known as Copeland claimed to have spotted Herobrine, a creepy-looking character with blank, white eyes, inside his own world. Saying there are 'a lot' is an understatement, as evidenced by just how long it took to find Herobrine's world. Seeds are codes Minecraft uses to generate different worlds. Minecraft community has located the seed in which the chilling non-playable character (NPC) 'Herobrine' was first “sighted” by a streamer over a decade ago. PCGamesN reports that one of the weirdest Minecraft tales of all time has come to life-sort of. Minecraft may be a fun, creative outlet for many, but it also houses its fair share of secrets, some of which are a tad creepy.
