Unknown Entity Error

Minecraft has detected an unknown presence in the world. It is advised that you DO NOT PASS THIS SCREEN. Ignoring this warning may result in strange occurrences and/or encounters. Remember, don't stare directly at the bugs.
—Warning message upon creating/loading a world.

Minecraft: From The Fog is a Game Mod based on the Herobrine Creepypasta that adds the ghostly entity into the game, with them occupying your world to build odd structures, stealing/replacing your torches, and stalk/haunt the player, giving the ominous feeling of truly not being alone in your single-player game.

Not to be confused with another Minecraft mod, The Man from the Fog.


Tropes pertaining to the mod:

  • Ambiguously Evil: Herobrine himself may undoubtedly be a creepy entity who at his worst effectively harasses the player, some of the cryptic signs he may leave the player seem to indicate that he's merely trying to get the player to leave and/or stop playing the game, the intent of which remains a mystery.
  • The Blank: One of the alternate skins that Herobrine may use is the default skin completely devoid of facial features.
  • Jumpscare: If a player manages to come into close-contact with Herobrine outside of their field of vision, they'll find themselves with their perspective refocused onto Herobrine in a sudden and startling manner.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: If you own a tamed wolf companion, they may angrily growl at the presence of Herobrine if he's nearby.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: Herobrine is absent for the first three days in a new Minecraft world, with the only implication of his existence being randomly spawning structures and trees that have recently been chopped downnote , all building up to the moment when he does decide to show up.
  • Offscreen Teleportation: When stalking the player, Herobrine will often appear just outside of their vision in this manner, with it being at its most pronounced when this happens inside of either your base or an enclosed cavern.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: Herobrine, per the Creepypasta, is allegedly the dead brother of Notch, and is depicted as the default "Steve" skin with glowing white eyes.
  • Shout-Out: One alternate skin for Herobrine includes a gray hood variant, in reference to his portrayal in Fallen Kingdom.
  • Slasher Smile: One alternate skin Herobrine may sport is their usual look, but with a wide grin encompassing one/fourth of the face.
  • Stalker without a Crush: Once he becomes active, Herobrine will actively stalk the player — whether it be watching close-by just out of the players view until spotted (with them immediately disappearing in view), from far in the distance (and fleeing from the player's radius), or directly in front of a sleeping player's bed.
  • Truer to the Text: Unlike mods that turn them into an actively malicious monster who can cause griefing levels of damage, or other fan-works that depict him as a ghostly or godly deity in the context of the Minecraft world, this mod sticks closer to their Creepypasta depiction as a haunted entity that seems to exist in the world as another Player Character, who oftentimes stay out of the player's view in a stalker manner.
