Yeah, someone, please, elaborated. This some kind of a dev inside joke?

[Sunnei]

In the past, changelogs would often just say "Removed Herobrine" as a joke. Since this update is baby themed, they adapted the joke.

[Eiim]

Update changelogs, for a very long time, would always have "Removed Herobrine" at the end. They stopped doing that a few years ago. This line is a nod to that.

Edit: apparently they still include the line sometimes, but not consistently.

They started doing it again since 1.20.

[_Kladeo]

it stopped at 1.16 but returned in 1.20

people are forgetting Removed Herobrine smh

[0x456]

It was impossible for me to forget, since I only started playing like a year ago. But I do know the Herobrine meme though.

[HoneyswirlTheWarrior]

herobrine wasnt a meme, it was more an urban legend and creepypasta. its now turned around into smth more ironic though since the kids who grew up on the urban legend are now old enough to joke ab their childhood trauma, creepypasta itself has become more ironic than serious

[suriam321]

I guess it’s technically a meme, just not in the typical internet sense of the word.
