Copeland's Herobrine Stream refers to a sighting of the mythical Minecraft character Herobrine by Brocraft streamer Copeland in 2010. The stream was among the first videos of Herobrine, as he had only appeared in still images prior to that. Although he later revealed the incident to be a hoax, the stream is credited with popularizing the myth into mainstream gaming. Screenshots from the incident and a re-creation have been released, but the original video has never been found, nor have other recordings of it.
History
Herobrine is a mythical creature theorized to be found in the video game Minecraft. It most likely originates from 4chan's /x/ board in August 2010.[1] Copeland, at the time a relatively popular Minecraft streamer, found out about the story while browsing the /v/ board and started orchestrating a hoax involving the character by taking a screenshot and photoshopping Herobrine into it.[2] After getting positive feedback from fans upon releasing this image, he started orchestrating yet another hoax on a grander scale, which involved him stumbling upon Herobrine during a livestream.[2]
