History VideoGame / MinecraftAdventureMaps

* SurpriseParty: Qmagnet and friends were going to have one for rsmalec's birthday, until the player gave him a cake and thwarted the "you thought everyone forgot" shtick.

* UnwinnableByInsanity: It is possible to get yourself stuck inside the hedgemaze by abusing its self-changing feature. It wasn't intended, and you have to switch to creative/survival mode to get out.

* RecurringElement: All three maps feature a character named Zombo.

* ThatOneLevel: Two of the stages in the Puzzle Branch, namely the doorways puzzle and the slider puzzle.

*** In the Trivia Branch, the first General question asks which food item does not exist in Minecraft. Answering "Cake" gives the response. "Cake is in Minecraft. [[VideoGame/Portal That is not a lie]]."

Diversity is a series of increasingly [[CreatorInJoke complex]] multi-genre "Complete the Monument" maps in which players must complete ten mini-maps in order to obtain colored wool blocks. Originally a solo project by qmagnet, the second and third installments were created by build teams[[labelnote:*]]Diversity 2: abrightmoore, [=ColdFusionGaming=], goldenturkey97, Jesper the End, qmagnet, and qwertyuiopthepie. Diversity 3: Adrian Brightmoore (abrightmoore), [=AdamDJM=], [=ColdFusion=] ([=ColdFusionGaming=]), Jigarbov, Noodlor, qmagnet, qwertyuiopthepie, [=renderXR=], and [=The1Kwa1Jsucsh=][[/labelnote]].

The Diversity build team is now Zombocron Entertainment, and is an official partner of Minecraft.

* Labyrinthian Branch/Elytra Branch[[labelnote:*]]Replacing Labyrinthian in Diversity 3[[/labelnote]] (Purple)

Diversity for Bedrock was announced on qmagnet's [=YouTube=] channel and Zombocron Entertainment's Twitter on June 10, 2021. A trailer released on August 2, 2021 announced the map's release date of August 24, 2021 and confirmed the map to be a remake rather than a port of the first map.

** Diversity's Arena Branch includes small rooms after each arena for players to heal themselves and acquire new/better gear.
** Played with in Diversity 3's Arena Branch, where [=AdamDJM=] tells the player to leave the arena and heal up while the next round is prepared, since the player can do this any time.

** The 3x3 color grid, which originated in Diversity's Puzzle Branch[[labelnote:*]]where its recurrence was to stress its importance as the solution to the slider puzzle[[/labelnote]], recurs throughout the following maps (but especially Diversity 3).
** A more subtle example is the recurrance of the four mob heads paired with the same four colors (green for zombie, blue for skeleton, yellow for Wither skeleton, and red for creeper). It appears in Diversity's Escape Branch[[labelnote:*]]a set of buttons played text messages from each mob, with their names in the corresponding color[[/labelnote]], Diversity 2's Labyrinthian Branch[[labelnote:*]]the player's goal is to collect the four mob heads from four different colored floors of the maze and place them on the matching color blocks at the beginning[[/labelnote]], and Diversity 3's intro[[labelnote:*]]they appear as decorations in qmagnet's house[[/labelnote]] and finale[[labelnote:*]]the player needs to retrive them and place them on their colored blocks during the Survival segment[[/labelnote]] sequences.
* BarelyMissedCushion: Happens to the player in Diversity 2 and 3's Dropper Branches[[labelnote:*]]Diversity's Dropper Branch had the entire bottom of the drop be safe landing space in the form of SoftWater. 2 and 3's Droppers had significantly larger landing space with significantly smaller targets[[/labelnote]]. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
* BrickJoke: Diversity 2's Boss Battle Branch ends with the revelation that the giant wither is controlled by the Fowl Overlord, a chicken that the player must kill before getting the black wool. In Diversity 3, the evil stone ends up to be piloted by another chicken, although this one can be spared rather than killed. And then in the finale sequence, the Boss Battle sequence features a giant chicken piloted by Stone Jr.

** Many of the people in the Adventure Branch can be seen this way, being "played" by YouTubers, [[LetsPlay/HermitcraftServer Hermitcrafters]], [[LetsPlay/MindcrackServer Mindcrackers]], the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} and even Mojang devs. [[CreatorCameo Qmagnet]] also appears as the signmaker.
** The Arena Branches of Diversitys 2 and 3 have many famous faces among their respective audiences.
* {{Checkpoint}}: All three Parkour Branches and Escape Branches feature them in some regard, as well as Diversity's Arena Branch, Trivia Branch and Labyrinthian Branch, Diversity 2's Adventure Branch, and Diversity 3's finale sequence.

** Diversity 2's Trivia Branch uses one in tandem with a soul sand over ice floor to create a very, very slow punishment.
** In Diversity 3, the Survival Branch's badlands island has one in its mineshaft.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: All the Trivia Branches feature them for choosing an incorrect answer. While in Diversity there was a small set of punishments for all the wrong answers, Diversitys 2 and 3 have unique punishments for every individual wrong answer, usually tuned to demonstrate how the answer was wrong or simply give the player an arduous task related to the wrong answer. Many players deliberately choose as many wrong answers as possible so as to see the different punishments.

** Diversity's Escape Branch is a nonlinear version, with the player freely roaming throughout the complex in search of a way to leave while hidden traps abound. Due to most of the rooms' being identical (or nearly so), it's easy for players to fall for the same trap several times.
** Diversity 2's Escape Branch, being set inside an ancient pyramid, is this from beginning to end.
** Diversity 3's Escape Branch has a gauntlet section that is virtually impossible to complete without dying, featuring waves of falling blocks, magic Evoker jaws, endless barrages of arrows and anvils, and a room that rapidly fills with lava.
* DungeonBypass: Diversity and Diversity 2 feature Bonus rooms that allow players to bypass one branch at no cost, unless you count 2's Bonus room creating a pedestal to [[EasyModeMockery immortalize your failure to complete a branch]].
** Diversity's Puzzle Branch has a secret method to bypass the slider puzzle at the end[[labelnote:hint]]leave chirp playing[[/labelnote]].
* DungeonCrawling: Diversity and Diversity 2's Survival Branches feature sprawling underground locations that are filled with danger and valuables, with Diversity having a naturally generated mineshaft (which qmagnet didn't even know was there until hearing about it from happy players) and Diversity 2 having a large facility-like structure.

*** Unlocking the Secret Branch involves tracking down easter eggs within the hub.

** In Diversity 2:

*** Boss Battle Branch: The giant wither turns out to be an automaton controlled by the Fowl Overlord.
** In Diversity 3:

** {{Inverted}} in Diversity 1, the finale sequence starts with the player climbing down a ladder and ends with them dropping into the void.
** Upon completing Diversity 2's monument, the player climbs a ladder up to the top of the building.
** Completing Diversity 3's monument activates a beacon which carries the player up into the sky.

* FishingMinigame: Diversity 2 and 3's Trivia Branches feature them as punishments.

* GladiatorGames: Diversity 2 and 3's Arena Branches.

** In Diversity's Arena Branch, the player leaves each arena by building a ladder up to an elevated door after killing fifteen mobs. The final arena subverts this by having a secret door open at ground level granting access to the yellow wool room. However, there is still an elevated doorway with an identical wool room visible inside. Players who don't know of the real wool room and are skipping through the arenas in Creative mode will likely go to the false wool room and press the button, which gives a message "This is what Cheaters get in Diversity!" and transporting them to the End which has been completely emptied aside from the obsidian spawning platform and a message reading "[[CheatersNeverProsper CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER]]". The player's spawn is set on the platform, rendering themselves permanently trapped in the End.
** In Diversity 3, the Boss Battle Branch is locked until all other branches are complete. If a player manages to get to the portal before doing so, a ravager named Charcoal will spawn, taunt the player, and quickly kill them.

** Diversity:
*** The block people in the Adventure Branch are inspired by the similar-looking people in Jigarbov's map "City of Love", and as such the first charcter the player meets is "played" by Jigarbov.

*** The Puzzle Branch's riddle section is modeled after the map "Who Am I?" by Thalizar. The wording of the second riddle also references another of his maps, "Melody".

* SidetrackBonus: The various unique wrong answer punishments in Diversity 2 and 3's Trivia Branches.

** There are two to rsmalec in Diversity, both for the same reason (during his playthrough of qmagnet's map "Complex", he had broken some redstone lamps thinking they hid clues. They did not.) The first is in the Adventure Branch's King path, where he is named in the guard probation list for breaking lamps. The second is in the Escape Branch which is based on "Complex" where one of the rooms off the first room is missing its lamps, and entering plays a message saying that rsmalec is responsible for their abscense.
** In Diversity 3's Survival Branch, a "scrapped" Survival Guide can be found in the shed behind qmagnet's house, which quickly gives up on the "guide" part and shifts to qmagnet saying how people never read the books he leaves because they hate reading in video games, especially [=YouTubers=], and then ranting about the complaints he received on the last two maps' Survival Branches, specifically about how they were too long and too [[FetchQuest Fetch Questy]].

!!Tropes in Diversity 3 include:

* LootBoxes: Petersen sells an expensive Mystery Box outside the arena, which gives the player three (usually useless) items and an advancement.

*** The last segment of the Puzzle branch is inspired by ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', complete with a working portal gun (in the form of two bows) and portals (blue and orange sheep). One of the chambers is even taken directly from the game.

*** In the Adventure Branch, there is a worker at the Communication station in a locked room. Looking at his computer through the door shows that they're playing ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}''.

Diversity for Bedrock was announced on qmagnet's [=YouTube=] channel on June 10, 2021. A trailer released on August 2, 2021 announced the map's release date of August 24, 2021 and confirmed the map to be a remake rather than a port of the first map.

*** Qmagnet's house in the Survival Branch has two secret rooms that unlock secret advancements: one is the attic, where there is a book that spawns Herobrine, and behind the painting in the basement is a chest with supplies.

Diversity for Bedrock was announced on qmagnet's [=YouTube=] channel on June 10, 2021.

!!Tropes in Diversity include:
* GreatEscape: The player does one in the Adventure Branch's King path.
* NotTheIntendedUse:
** In the Survival Branch, placing a button and placing it near the top of the right side of the bedrock cube allows it to give the brown wool without completing any of the requirements.
** In the Boss Battle Branch, the player can get into the redstone and command block circuitry under the platform if they're careful, and from there can tamper with the Nether star collection system so it will accept any item, allowing them to quickly obtain the black wool.
* ObstacleExposition: "Good" King Steve warns the player of the obstacles between them and the "Evil" Zombie Lord's fortress.
* RealityEnsues: One of the fishermen in the Adventure Branch remarks that they don't catch fish because they don't have arms.
* SecretUndergroundPassage: The Adventure Branch has one, built by the zombies to reach the chamber holding the Holy Wool of Orangeosity.
* StormingTheCastle: This seems to be your goal in the Adventure Branch, but all is not as it seems...
* TakeItToTheBridge: The entrance to the zombies' SecretUndergroundPassage is hidden beneath the Rickety Bridge of Terror.
* ThatOneLevel: Two of the stages in the Puzzle Branch, namely the doorways puzzle and the slider puzzle.
* ThisWayToCertainDeath: The bottom of the Lake of Drowned Sorrows and the trench under the Rickety Bridge of Terror are littered with skulls. When you consider the physical capabilities of this world's denizens, it's not hard to figure out why.

** One door in a DummiedOut room in the Escape Branch triggers a message reading "No cheating!"
** Many of the challenges in the Puzzle Branch have cheeky signs in the puzzles mechanisms that tease cheating players and offer hints:

** Jumping off the bridge on the way to the finale sequence will let the player find a button to teleport them back up with a sign reading "Seriously? You fall off or something?"

* [[TheLostWoods Stage]] [[LethalLavaLand 3]]: [[{{Mooks}} Fallen Knights]], [[GoddamnBats Baby Zombies]], [[GiantSpiders Spiders]], [[EliteMook Malformed]].

*** Survival Branch: After the player brings qmagnet his friend's messages, he forgets his promise to reward them with the brown wool until he notices they're not leaving.

*** The Escape Branch's code room and the design of the droppers in the Dropper Branch are taken from the map ''The Code'' by JesperTheEnd. At the bottom of each dropper is a character with a letter on the back spelling out "JesperTheEnd" as a nod to him.

** Many of the people in the Adventure Branch can be seen this way, being "played" by YouTubers, [=HermitCrafters=], [=MineCrackers=], the YOGSCAST and even Mojang devs. [[CreatorCameo Qmagnet]] also appears as the signmaker.

*** The first maze of the Labyrinthian Branch has alternating light and dark floors with seemingly no pattern. However, going into Creative mode and viewing the maze top-down reveals that the strange coloring allows the maze's paths to spell a message: "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FLY".

** In Diversity's Arena Branch, the player leaves each arena by building a ladder up to an elevated door after killing fifteen mobs. The final arena subverts this by having a secret door open at ground level granting access to the yellow wool room. However, there is still an elevated doorway with an identical wool room visible inside. Players who don't know of the real wool room and are skipping through the arenas in Creative mode will likely go to the false wool room and press the button, transporting themselves to the End which has been completely emptied aside from the obsidian spawning platform, the dragon, and a message reading "[[CheatersNeverProsper CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER]]". The player's spawn is set on the platform, rendering themselves permanently trapped in the End.

*** The Puzzle Branch's Life and Death Puzzle references ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman'', ''Literature/BookOfRevelation'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing''.

** Cheating to get through the door at the end of the Puzzle Branch's riddle section rewards the player with a sign reading "Do you find it amusing to cheat?"
** Jumping off the bridge on the way to the finale sequence will let the player find a button to teleport them back up with a sign reading "What, did you fall or something?"

* DummiedOut: The Escape Branch has several inaccessible rooms.

** In Diversity 3, the Boss Battle Branch is locked until all other branches are complete. If a player manages to get to the portal before doing so, a ravager named Charcoal will spawn, taunt the player, and quickly kill them.g

*** The Escape Branch is a modified version of qmagnet's map "Complex", which itself is based on ''Film/{{Cube}}''.

*** In the Adventure Branch, Dr. Zombo enters [[Series/{{Lost}} 4 8 15 16 23 42]] into a keypad.

*** At the bottom of the black course in the Dropper Branch, the player can find a shulker box containing heads of Batman characters on the back of the Batmobile. Wearing {{Creator/AdamWest}}'s head unlocks a secret advancement.

*** In the Adventure Branch, Dr. Zombo enters [[Series/Lost 4 8 15 16 23 42]] into a keypad.

* DevelopersForesight: Maybe. Subtitles reveal nothing during the sound puzzle in the Puzzle Branch.

*** At the far left end of the island in the Escape Branch, there is a shulker box hidden behind an obelisk filled with heads of the build team and more. A secret advancement can be made by taking ColdFusion's head through the branch and wearing it during the ending scene.

** Diversity's Puzzle Branch has a secret method to bypass the slider puzzle at the end.

** There are two to rsmalec in Diversity, both for the same reason (during his playthrough of qmagnet's map "Complex", he had broken some redstone lamps thinking they hid clues. They did not.)

The second is in the Escape Branch which is based on "Complex" where one of the rooms off the first room is missing its lamps, and entering plays a message saying that rsmalec is responsible for their abscense.

* CallBack: The Escape Branch is set in "The Cyan Dimension", hearkening back to Diversity 2's Adventure Branch in which the player travels to the Orange Dimension. Both branches were made by [=ColdFusion=].
** A section of the tower is decorated like the mansion in Diversity 2's Adventure Branch, complete with "Useless Flavor Items". Professor Orange is even met at one point, and can be interacted with.

*** The last segment of the Puzzle branch is inspired by ''VideoGame/Portal'', complete with a working portal gun (in the form of two bows) and portals (blue and orange sheep).

*** The blue and orange portal sheep return in the Puzzle Branch and finale sequence. They still teleport the player upon walking into them, and doing so grants an advancement titled "BaaaaDOS".
