Dance Craft
by 01stev
Dance Craft gives players a dance menu with several animated dances, each opened from a dedicated key and played on the player's own character.
What it does
The Forge mod adds dances such as Moonwalk, Robot Pop, Thriller Zombie and Floss. Each one is a short animation with its own rhythm: the Moonwalk is a smooth, stylish move with a dramatic lean, Robot Pop uses sharp poses and controlled body motion, and Thriller Zombie uses creepy steps and horror poses. A dance is started from the menu or a key and can keep looping until the player stops it.
Dance Craft requires playerAnimator to drive the character animations. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and the server can run without it. It is released under All rights reserved, the files target 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge file is 4.0.0, published 2026-06-16.
Key features
Smooth moonwalk
A moonwalk-style routine that glides smoothly, shot with a film-like camera feel and a leaning, theatrical posture.
Robot Pop and Thriller Zombie
Robot Pop builds its routine from stiff, angular poses and controlled body motion, while Thriller Zombie borrows an undead, horror-movie mood with eerie footwork and grim stances.
Custom dance menu
A clean menu opened from a dedicated key, with a visual preview for each dance inside it.
Loop and particle options
Dances can loop for as long as the player wants, and particles can be switched on or off.

Use cases
Roleplay and multiplayer moments
Players can perform dances during roleplay scenes or social moments on a server, since only the player's own client shows the animation.
Video and screenshot content
The cinematic dances and the menu preview suit recordings and screenshots made in a world.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want personality and style in their Minecraft world, and anyone who records videos or screenshots of dance moments. It needs playerAnimator installed alongside it on Forge 1.20.1.
