The Herobrine Gameplay

TheHerobrine is a survival based gametype very similar to the gameplay of another known game type (Hidden and/or Ghostcraft). You join a server along with 12 other people, and each player chooses his or her class before fighting Herobrine. Each class has special abilities, some can heal others and others have weapons to empower themselves.

Once the game starts, 12 players are chosen to be a survivor, while 1 person becomes the all mighty great and powerful one, Herobrine. As the herobrine, it is your job to kill all 12 survivors using the given powers. As a survivor, it is their job to defeat Herobrine, however it is not an easy task since herobrine is almost entirely invisible (still can be seen by smoke particles). So survivors must also collect the Nether Stars (a.k.a. Soul Shards) to weaken Herobrine for the cost of giving him extra powers to use to kill all the remaining survivors. Once all shards are put in, Herobrine is at his weakest stage and also VISIBLE, making him easy to defeat in order for the survivors to win the game.

The key to winning the game as a survivor is collecting various shards that spawn randomly around the map. Three shards are needed to make Herobrine at his weakest state.
