Summon Herobrine

Spawn Herobrine in Minecraft. Run: /give @p minecraft:player_head[profile={name:"Herobrine"}]. Herobrine is not a real entity — he has never been in vanilla Minecraft. He is a creepypasta character. Mojang has listed "Removed Herobrine" in patch notes as a running joke since 2010. The command above gives you a Herobrine-named player head, which is the closest vanilla approximation. Place it on an armor stand for a spooky build. Works on Java 26.2 and Bedrock 26.32. Last verified June 2026.
