The seed for the world of the legendary Herobrine from Minecraft has been discovered.
The seed was found last week by andrew_555, also known as Kminster, who started his research on September 5, 2020. Kminster admitted that “probably about 50 hours in total to develop / write the code”, but ended up stumbling across the world on January 16th.
“Since the first Herobrine Creepypasta, people have falsified their world several times”, provokes the video description (see below). “So, we used our Pack.png seed-breaking knowledge and Minecraft panoramas to find the seed once and for all!”
“Note that Herobrine is not real and never was, this is just the seed used for the original creepypasta image,” a Minecraft moderator recalls the posters on Reddit.
To visit, here are the details, although note that you will need Minecraft Java Edition with “historical versions” enabled. Select version a1.0.16 and use this information or download this prepared world file (thanks, PC Gamer):
- Seed: 478868574082066804
- Version: Java Alpha 1.0.16_02
- Alpha coordinates: X = 5.06 Y = 71 (72.62 pos eye) Z = -298.54

The discovery comes after recent efforts have also unearthed the seed of Minecraft’s legendary pack.png image – dubbed “the most iconic image in Minecraft history” – and the famous background panorama of the title screen.
