What Happened to the ORIGINAL Minecraft Herobrine Mod?

2 herobrine videos this year, you guys are lucky ;) Make sure to subscribe! Join my discord - discord.gg/WGc9UNM

I wanna see Mojang add herobrine to the next mob vote just to see it get out-voted by the worst possible option again

I'm just at awe at how the "From the Fog" mod really captured Herobrine the WAY you'd see him on the corner of your base's window, how he can appear on the stairs to your second floor, how he's just there when you open up an inventory, 10/10

Small note: From the Fog doesn't actually add possesed mobs. The datapack is often used in videos with another mod called The End of Herobrine which is much more similar to the other more "boss-like" Herobrine mods. People often confuse features from that mod with features from From the Fog.

From the Fog looks pretty cool, really capturing the ghost-like feel of the original lore

I'm glad "From the fog" is taking herobrine back to his ghostly roots, most mods I think went too far or made herobrine annoying or a hard boss for no reason, the mod has wonderful potential and I hope we see it grow in the future, maybe with new buildings and secrets.

2:59 My story about thinking mods were in the base game: Before I bought the game, I loooved watching a Youtuber called ipodmail, and I didn't quite understand that he reviewed mods, so when I got the game, I thought I could get horses to spawn if I did what he did. He was using Mo' Creatures, and I couldn't exactly figure out how to install mods until much later (this was around 2010/2011)

9:03 *Correction From the fog itself or when its standalone doesn't corrupt mobs however the dev has expressed interest but its a blink and you miss it moment. The corrupted mobs are from another minecraft mod called "The End Of Herobrine"

Herobrine is a special myth of the entire Minecraft community, turning from a childhood fear to a nostalgic concept once you grow up.

What I found fun about the From The Fog mod, is that if you have a pet dog, it will growl. Anger growl to be exact. If the dog growls then you know there's something around you and your dog. That's also paying respects to real life dogs that can sense/see things the human eye can't.

I think the best forms of Herobrine is when he isn't hostile at all, just looming around from far away and from the corners, instiling doubt of whether you saw him or something else. A vivid moment I remember from a Herobrine let's play was when the youtuber brought an instant replay in slow motion, when after he killed a pig, during editing he realized the pig had full white eyes. him constantly griefing your world, killing you, running away from you and summoning a bunch of monsters and lightning and stuff feels excessive to me, more of an edgy teen than an unsolvable cryptid

"From the Fog" does a pretty solid job in capturing the Herobrine legend, in addition to take it back to its mysterious/ghostly roots.

From The Fog is really neat, because i think it captures the best of both versions of Herobrine. Hes spooky, like the original version, and much more ghost like, interfering with you less so that hes scarier, and rarely doing anything super problematic. But what he does do, even if not the worst thing to deal with, is still very evidently malicious, and he has his eyes set on you instead of just being some weird creepy loner guy who occasionally appears near you.

I remember one time years ago I was playing pocket edition, Then my dad in another room changed his username to Herobrine and gave himself a Herobrine skin and joined my world to try and freak me out.

From The Fog would work exceptionally well on the old versions of Minecraft, those have more of a spooky atmosphere (specially if you can't sprint).

i have a ton of respect for the devs of From The Fog. it's pretty cool when you realize all of this was made with a datapack, completely in vanilla!

the totem pole one just sent me down a rabbit hole of childhood fears. when i was younger and believed in herobrine, i would play minecraft casually, and i would glance at the animals and my eyes would trick me into seeing them with white eyes. i panicked every time cause i remembered thats when herobrine turns them aggressive, but then id blink and theyd be normal again. lol

Makes sense that Herobrine went from creepy ghost to final boss, as graphics progressed people no longer needed to use the "fog" in Minecraft making it much less scarier. (The fog is a phenomenon in which the game's render distance is set to tiny, as computers at the time could not handle the medium or high render distances. This creates a huge "fog" around you.)

Back when I ran a server, the server normally had 150 players on it. Was a fairly tame server (back in 1.7.10). But I put in a very very rare event where herobrine would be standing at maximum server render distance. Most back then could not run the 16 chunk distance. I think only twice it was ever noticed

From the Fog is, honestly, the best Herobrine rendition mod. I always play with it since it doesn't add anything big or is really disruptive.
