Minecraft Herobrine Real or Fake 2023: Does He Actually Exist In-game?

By Mack Ashworth

Players are still wondering if Minecraft‘s Herobrine is real or fake in 2023. Curious players are asking “Does Herobine actually exist in Minecraft?” on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iPhone (iOS), and Android. Thankfully, we have the need-to-know info to confirm or debunk this myth. So, is Herobrine in Minecraft and, if he’s not, is there a way to make him spawn using mods?

Is Herobrine really in Minecraft?

No, Herobrine is not really in Minecraft.

In the unmodded versions of both Bedrock and Java, Herobrine does not appear in Minecraft. The evil version of Steve does not appear, no matter what the player does to try and force him to spawn.

Rumors of Herobrine spawning in Minecraft, both randomly and when summoned, have been around for years now. Despite this, the developers have never followed through on actually adding him as an enemy mob.

How to spawn Herobrine in Minecraft

To spawn Herobrine in Minecraft, players have to install mods.

The best Minecraft Herobrine mod is “The Legend of Herobrine” which can be accessed here on CurseForge.
