Herobrine is indeed not real, but he is canon. Not to Minecraft, but to Creepypasta.

The writer isn't forced to limit themselves to just the origin story. They can also take elements from the mods and certain animations; just not from any random fanfic. The incarnation they take feats from must be major enough.
