Herobrine has always been one of the scariest mythical characters in Minecraft. It is believed that this entity looks exactly like Steve Skin but with empty white eyes. It has the capability of breaking and placing blocks. Though many players have claimed that they have seen the entity in their single-player worlds, it is generally regarded as a myth.

However, since the game is sandbox in nature, many in the community have recreated Herobrine in the form of mods. Through mods, players can see the entity in their single-player worlds and even fight with it. Recently, a Redditor by the name of 'HBizzle24' posted a video of their jumpscare from the infamous creature.


Users react to a Minecraft player getting jumpscare from Herobrine added through a mod

The video starts with the user roaming around their base and taking out the '11' music disc to play it. As soon as the disc starts playing, the player turns and sees Herobrine inside the room.

The creature also started screeching loudly, which intensified the jumpscare. The player panicked and closed out of the world. By looking at the HUD in the video, it is safe to say that the player had loads of Minecraft mods loaded into their game, and Herobrine was also one of them.

However, the jumpscare was legit since the Herobrine mod was created in such a way that the entity could appear anywhere, which is in line with the original horror stories about him.

Since jumpscare videos of Minecraft are always popular on the game's official subreddit, this post also received quite a lot of attention. Furthermore, since it was related to Herobrine, it was even more popular. Within a day, it received more than 3,000 upvotes and loads of comments.

Many people went on a nostalgia trip after seeing the player getting jumpscared by Herobrine. Since the mythical creature was quite famous in the early days, many veteran fans of Minecraft talked about how they were terrified that they were in their single-player worlds as well. People also spoke about how the community used to discuss absurd summoning tricks that they used to perform in vain.

One of the Redditors also noticed a hilarious coincidence in the splash text after the player came out of the world after the jumpscare. It simply read, 'Singleplayer!' which was hilariously ironic given the fact that the player saw Herobrine. The whole discussion regarding the creature was that it was a human-like entity that was present in single-player worlds, which was completely bizarre to think of.

Hence, this coincidence of the game showing the splash text was extremely amusing as well.

Others humorously stated how Herobrine liked the spooky '11' music disc and hence appeared in the room.
