Hey Peter – White Eyes – Minecraft’s FIRST Creepypasta – Strange Gaming

Hey I’m Peter look Herobrine needs no introduction you’ve seen images of him you’ve heard stories of him he’s internet royalty at this point the silent Observer of Minecraft watching you in single player for unknown purposes his Origins are murky with some claiming him to be the digital ghost of

Notch creator of Minecraft’s past brother to being some kind of entity simply called him there wasn’t a whole lot of quote established lore unquote to the character’s past appearances so people really ran with it and made them their own people have definitely taken their own unique spins on the character

Since his Inception which was sometime around the 2010s this is most commonly attributed to this piece relating to Herobrine which many calls origin Point everyone knows that Notch publicly addressed Herobrine several times speaking on the rumor of his dead brother and adding him to patch notes to

Mess with people but what if I told you that everything we know about him isn’t what it seems I want I want you to hold back your initial confusion and hear me out think about it where did this all come from who was the first one to suggest such a

Cryptid thing existing in Minecraft I suggest you leave some of your knowledge at Herobrine at the door because I’m going to rock your world with what I’m about to tell you just take this Sandstone pill what is the Sandstone pill well you get to listen to me explain Minecraft urban legends and

Sense it’s very weird to think about but most of these iconic gaming Creepypastas were developed like 15 years ago Minecraft was publicly available to play in 2009 but it wasn’t officially released as most Publications explained until 2011. could play the game on its Alpha stages but for Simplicity consider everything

Until it’s 2011 publication as a sort of Early Access phase during this phase Mojang back when Mojang owned Minecraft and it wasn’t run by a totalitarian Nanny State no fun zone that Microsoft so desperately wants to train AI off of made pretty frequent patches to Iron Out bugs and add new

Content for the game one of these updates added the Jukebox which allowed you to play music tracks by inserting records you must find most records inside different locations and biomes and to obtain your sweet record of rocking Tunes you’re able to find the track called track 13 in some of the

Dungeon chests on July 30th 2010 user kirchak would upload a video on YouTube called minecraftmusic13.ogg the video is the OGG upload of track 13 accompanied of a screenshot of a cave or dungeon this might seem like an innocuous screenshot but if we manipulate the lightness we can find let me highlight it

See those two little white slits for eyes this might seem like something of a stretch perhaps I’ve just seen something that isn’t there well I wasn’t the only one who thought so plenty of people ran with the concept of those two little white eyes what were they doing there if

They truly were eyes were they from a mob just spawning in or were you being watched by someone else let me introduce the Minecraft forums Minecraft forums are exactly what they sound like acting as a hub for people to discuss Minecraft and all its quirks it’s still in operation since 2009 so

It’s been around as long as the game has many of the older posts are Stellar ways to see how people react to certain things right when they happened for example in 2010 valve through the TF2 website talks about Minecraft when they introduced the old equalizer weapon

Which was a pickaxe people in the forums complained about all the TF2 people now flooding it you can tell these are authentic 2010 posts because half of them have Homestuck profile pictures but for white eyes allow me to draw you into the post created on August 1st of the

Same year user endorphine would repost a 13.ogg video along with a short story Jesus Christ I can’t do it I can’t take it anymore I can’t go back home I can’t go into my Minds I can’t do anything anymore but slowly try and build something under the frozen ocean and

It’s all because of two little pixels two pixels two white pixels I haven’t even seen them myself except in screenshots I know it’s there though waiting in the mines watching me for my Towers balcony while I’m outside I can’t see it through the constant snowfall but I know it’s there and I

Know it can see me the white eyes Miss surrounding ambient noises it started a couple weeks ago after a secret Friday update some people started reposting seeing a big pair of white pixels whenever an underground ambient noise was triggered I figured it was just a bug or something

Maybe some way he did to trigger it that sound themselves I didn’t hear much of it about for a while then all of a sudden recently I’ve been seeing reported sightings everywhere and a supposed screenshot for them this is the picture I can’t even

Bear to let it load I had to do a quick tab copy and close before I saw those eyes against those eyes Jesus Christ the user goes into more detail and further posts he points out with the dots are and refuting someone talking about a rendering error I’ll mention later

Descriptions of white eyes are curious that white eyes has now been properly punctuated with capital letters as an official name and that it’s a female entity the rest of the thread isn’t too interesting mostly people being unreasonably mad someone chooses to have an imagination except for this one post

Where someone calls white eyes the Tails Doll of Minecraft referencing that god-awful Sonic R Creepypasta but with that comparison we now know where people’s minds were at the time they weren’t entirely convinced it was something to be found legitimately but ran with the concept anyways but what do

We now know about white eyes from this post we see what it looks like or at least it’s eyes that it might be female and that it has some kind of relation to a rendering error that rendering error is an old bug or blocks obtain this sort of white outlined around chunks of

Blocks does that mean the first known sightings of white eyes was just a rendering error or did the uploader decide to just put two white dots there as a troll no idea there’s quite a bit of missing information about this Minecraft Cryptid The Forum posts are

The best source we have and there isn’t a lot of them because white eyes would take a pretty drastic change in Direction very soon stay tuned to hear about that it was still very early on for white eyes so a lot of details were shifting when people started to contribute their own ideas

And works of fiction around it especially for what it looked like aside from its eyes the 2nd of August someone named 8-bit described White Ice as a cross between a skeleton and a spider he says it likes to hide in Deep Side caves and other Dark Places and won’t interact

With the player if it doesn’t have to choosing to run away if attacked or brought into the light but if you get too close to it it’ll shriek at you in attack for three hearts of damage sounds familiar doesn’t it if the Enderman weren’t such an obvious parallel to the Slenderman I’d reckon

That white eyes could be a contender for the runner-up inspiration taking a look at a longer piece of fiction published on August 24th the user and author gotel described a being with the same signature white eyes but also having the default player skin like the Steve skin with completely white eyes

With the date of the story in mind I want to draw your attention to the original Herobrine image see Herobrine here what’s more interesting is the text at the top the build here is Alpha 1.0.16 Dash under 2 which was only available for a couple of weeks in August of 2010.

This exact date the image was taken is a little up in the air but the alpha date Narrows the amount of time to a specific day between August and the 13th and before September 1st it might be a stretch to say whoever made this image was directly inspired by goto’s story

But a lot of people were writing their own version of white eyes with their own in conclusions with some elements begin to stick and the default player skin was one of them the story that often came attached to the classic images date also became a little questionable but follows

The same time range of the alpha build but I think I have a theory that the name Herobrine is something that came after this idea of the default skin the story attached explains the name Herobrine is attributed to someone going by the same name who mailed the narrator

Of the story in the forums to stop investigating the default skin now let’s talk about the Copeland stream Copeland was a Minecraft content creator back in the day who hosted an ancient live stream trying to find Herobrine the full stream I believe is actually lost media but there have been Recreations of

Sort when he runs into heroBrine based off of people who saw it a lot of people are already hunting for this piece outside of the Creepypasta context so I’ll leave that to people more interested in Lost media obviously the stream here isn’t legitimate because it’s been proven beyond the doubt that

Herobrine isn’t real but that isn’t the Curious part he wasn’t called Herobrine in the Stream that I know of at least look at this forum post dating back to the August 30th user Bob’s B discussed a glitch where spawning human players in creative mode would have white eyes this

White-eyed variant is called him dead Notch and white eyes but no Herobrine someone even replies with the coplan Stream So it happened before the compiposa text went around because the name Herobrine is never thrown around in any of these Forum posts dating back to August 2010 when the alpha build was in

Circulation I can’t prove Beyond a doubt that it means the original image is illegitimate but it does strongly imply that what we now call Herobrine was something a lot less concrete he was known by several different names the original stream isn’t easy to track down

But we can start to paint a picture of timeline of events when the name Herobrine stuck because of the story attached to the original image that it likely came after the Copa online stream because the name of the white-eyed Steve entity wasn’t entirely concrete white eyes over the rapid course of a summer

Vacation transformed into one of the biggest Cryptids on the internet and Minecraft most iconic Specter and depending on how you interpret the chain of events became Herobrine and the rest is history the exact details about white eyes are somewhat amorphous because it was made during an enchanted time where people

Weren’t daunted by using their imagination despite how many people were pushed back on people speculating on something that almost certainly wasn’t true but was still fun to picture Minecraft hadn’t really been released officially until a year later and I admire the community’s willingness to document and talk about something they

Might be experiencing together though something you might have noticed is the lack of quantifiable traceable steps and sources we have some Forum posts but many of the things remain lost media about this whole case the Copeland stream is still thin air there’s a lot of missing fan art for

White eyes from the forums in Hell Herobrine is the host to a lot of unknown questions himself the author of the original story and where the image came from is probably floating somewhere on 4chan’s V board but that might better remain as partially lost because then you’d have to explore the V board

I kind of view Minecraft as one of the last bastions for an era of Creepypasta and general internet rumor horror content that most things left behind to this day there are still Minecraft Creepypastas being written and rumors going around and honestly it makes me want to play Minecraft I’ve remembered

To merge my Mojang account and I’m scouring for more information as I play it’s fascinating to picture how people shifted ideas and stories around until what we understand is Herobrine came to be and how icon he is is a de facto Minecraft urban legend trendsetter when his story started much earlier and had

Its Roost Trace with other entities this quite a bit of that came afterwards that I’d like to explore but I’m taking things slow and steady I didn’t like Minecraft A whole lot as a kid but with this angle I think I appreciated a whole lot more now I don’t

Just do Minecraft however I cover a wide range of topics all relating to video games this series strange gaming covers games both big and small but elements or rumors that give you a lovely skin crawling feeling if that interests you and you haven’t already taken the Sandstone pill

Then here is your glass of water if you’ve gotten this far then you’re a real one comment down below if you’ve taken the Sandstone pill lets me know people are interested in this more Minecraft content and comments boosts the YouTube algorithm until then have a lovely rest of your day Thank you
