He’s a glitch that is saposed to be fixed but in every update it said that he was but in 1.16 it didn’t say he was so really is he real or not only a true Minecraft player would know and I am one so ask me
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.
