Dance Floor

*"Get ready to dance! Dance Floor is a party minigame map worked on together by Cavinator1 and CemreK. Prepare to jam your sneaking keys and hit those space bars over and over!"*

**Dance Floor** is a collaboration minigame map by Cavinator1 and CemreK set on a dance floor. It is unrelated to the Assassin of Steve trilogy, but contains references to it.

## Gameplay

**Dance Floor** is a minigame map, intended to be played in multiplayer, but singleplayer play is still possible. In total, there are eleven minigames total. Clearing any minigame gives you Dance Credits, a currency which you can spend for upgrades on the map's giant dance floor (hence the name). These upgrades can involve different disco floors, disco balls, and custom DJs.

### Minigames

## Development

Development for **Dance Floor** started at the beginning of 2019 and lasted for two months.

## Release and Updates

**Dance Floor** was released on March 11th, 2019 for Minecraft 1.13.2. It had several small bug-fixing updates over the next month.

On June 7th 2020, Dance Floor got accepted as an official map in Minecraft Realms, allowing anyone owning a Java realm to be able to load up the world on their realm to play with friends.

When Minecraft 1.14, 1.15, 1.16 and 1.16.2 were each respectively released, Dance Floor also had small updates to ensure it would work in those versions.

## Reception

*Dance Floor* turned out to be a huge success for Cavinator1 and CemreK's first project together. It amassed to have a total of over 12,000 downloads across all sites, but this number is likely inaccurate to the amount of people that have played it since this does not take Realms playtimes into account.

Throughout the map's life, many large YouTubers released videos of them playing Dance Floor with friends, such as PopularMMOs, CaptainSparklez, and even PewDiePie, who played the map in a video where he played a bunch of realms maps.

## Legacy

Towards the end of 2019, a miniature build of *Dance Floor* was included in the map Realms Collection by Vertex Creations, which is a museum containing custom miniatures of every map ever published on Realms. Cavinator1 himself built and made commands for the *Dance Floor* miniature.

## Relations to other maps

Dance Floor is most likely not set in the Assassin of Steve Universe or have any relation to it, however it does contain a number of easter eggs and references to it.

* The Assassin and a Mini-Ghast can be purchased as a DJ.
* The Orb can be purchased as a disco ball for 10,000 Dance Credits. Upon equipping it, a random line will be spoken by Replicus in the chat (however, he is still referred to as ???). He speaks the following lines:
	+ I will LEND you my GREATEST POWERS!
	+ This is the END of you!
	+ I CREATE MY OWN ALLIES!
	+ You WILL NOT stand a chance against my FULL MIGHT!
	+ Those who KNOW my name never LIVE to know it for long!
* The mansion in the Haunted Graveyard map in the game Zombie Dance is based on Count Twoten's Mansion, and the graves contain a lot of the same easter eggs as the graveyard behind this mansion and in the Emere Graveyard, such as 'Here lies no-one.'

## Trivia

* Out of all of Cavinator1's maps, Dance Floor has been playable in the highest amount of Minecraft versions, at four, tying with Assassin of Steve.
	+ BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack, which is a datapack, beats them both because it is currently playable on every version since 1.12.
