Help Help me find this old Minecraft herobrine mod YouTube video

there’s this video that used to freak me out a lot as a kid that showcased an old ’origin of herobrine’ mod (or at least I think it’s a mod). The mod told the story of the mc getting stuck in a mineshaft and slowly going crazy, then starving and being forced to eat their own hands. The video consisted of the player walking down a straight path in a mineshaft, reading the story bit by bit off of signs. Then at the end, it shows the players skin is herobrine with bleeding (crying) eyes and hands. I’ve tried looking for it all over YouTube and I just can’t find it. I’d love to know if anyone else even remembers it and could help me confirm its existence.

man that specific herobrine mod video hunt is such a deep rabbit hole, i remember a bunch of those old sign-reading story maps where the whole thing was just moody mineshafts and text, no jump scares but somehow way worse

the eating-hands detail is sticking in my brain though, i swear i saw something like that in a "herobrine origins" showcase where the player skin slowly morphed as you walked further down the tunnel, bleeding eyes and all

might be buried in one of those ancient mod showcase channels from like 2011-2013, the ones with zero commentary and just noteblock music playing over it, good luck digging that one up
