Uhhhhhh no. They only say that he was removed in basically every update as a joke. I think they just forgot for 1.16. He is not real and never was and never will be except for in mods.

I get it

No. That's because he doesn't exist. Never has been.

Ok but who do you think would win

Herobrine never exists and im tired of hearing from him!

Plus warden is not in minecraft yet

What
