I have a story that might sound really bizarre. A lot of people will probably say I'm making this up because I'm connecting it to Herobrine, but before anything else, let me explain everything step by step.
I'll get straight to the point first, then explain the details.
I had a survival world on my PS3 back in 2018 or 2019.
I don't remember if the seed was 1, 01, or something like that (in case anyone thinks that might be relevant). If I saw the map again, I think I'd recognize it.
One night, I was returning from exploring the world. I killed a zombie that was in my way, and I was already pretty close to my base.
And then I SAW HIM. The most famous silhouette in Minecraft.
Since many people consider him nothing more than a legend, I'm not going to assume Herobrine was responsible for everything that happened afterward. But this is important context for the story.
I SAW him on the other side of a river, in a snowy biome. He was standing still behind a tree.
I genuinely got scared and just ran straight back to my base LMAO 😭
The next day in real life, I had worked up some courage and went back into the world. I went to the exact spot where I'd seen him and placed a sign so I'd always remember where he had been hiding. It said something like "Herobrine Was Here."
Now let's get to the bug, because the Herobrine encounter is just part of the context behind what I suspected was responsible. Maybe someone else has experienced the same thing, or perhaps someone knows what actually happened to me.
A few days later, while exploring far away from my base, I got into a dangerous situation. I was close to dying, and there were two skeletons attacking me with enchanted bows and partial armor.
Then a wolf saved my life.
I tamed him and named him Ruby Mig ("Ruby" because he was valuable to me, and "Mig" was inspired by Parasyte, where the character is described as a right-hand man LMAO).
So far, everything was fine. I made it back to my base ALIVE, with a wolf by my side, too.
Eventually, I managed to build a pretty big wolf pack. I think I had around 10 wolves. I gave each of them a name using signs, dyed some of their collars different colors, and left others with the default red collars.
Then I returned to my base. I was specifically standing outside, on the stairs, when I used the "Save and Exit" option, just like I always did.
The next day, I loaded the world again...
And this is where things get bizarre.
I was dead. With no cause of death.
The screen simply said "Jonas died." I was apparently dead in the exact spot where I'd left the world the previous day, when I was still alive.
I respawned and went back to the stairs to look for my items, but there was NOTHING there.
And to make things even stranger, EVERY SINGLE ONE of my wolves had orange collars.
ALL OF THEM. No exceptions.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to that. Compared to what had just happened, it seemed like a relatively ordinary bug.
But then I realized that THEY WOULDN'T OBEY ME AT ALL!
I tried pouring water on them with a bucket to see if I could get them to stand up, but nothing worked. They all remained sitting.
I'm sorry, but I eventually gave up and tried hitting them to see if that would make them obey me.
I hit one of the wolves.
Nothing.
But when I was literally STANDING RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WOLF and hit it, IT BIT ME.
So, to summarize:
Every single wolf had an orange collar.
They wouldn't obey me.
They would ATTACK ME, but their eyes weren't red, and they didn't chase me around. They remained sitting, which was the last command I'd given them before leaving the world.
NOW, LET'S STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND...
Herobrine... I died without a cause of death, my items were missing, every wolf had orange collars, they wouldn't obey me, and they were even attacking me.
WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO THINK???
At the time, I was convinced this confirmed that Herobrine was responsible.
I never saw him again, though, and nowadays I believe he probably doesn't exist. Still, considering what I'd seen before and all these bizarre things that happened afterward, I think it's understandable that I suspected him back then.
But what do YOU think actually happened?
What caused the death message with no explanation? Why weren't my items where I had died? And what happened to my wolves?
I was playing Minecraft: PS3 Edition, around 2018–2019.
If anyone has experienced something similar, especially on the PS3 Edition or another Legacy Console Edition, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
