Minecraft:Block of Diamond: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:39, 9 April 2026

Template:Infobox block A block of diamond, known internally as a diamond block, is a precious mineral Minecraft:block equivalent to nine Minecraft:diamonds.

Obtaining

Breaking

Blocks of diamond can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Blocks of diamond generate as the cores of "obsidian rooms" and "lava rooms" in woodland mansions.

Generated loot

Template:LootChestItem

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Usage

Blocks of diamond can be used to store Minecraft:diamonds in a compact fashion.

Beacons

Blocks of diamond can be used to "power" a Minecraft:beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of diamond blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely diamond blocks, as they may also contain blocks of iron, blocks of gold, blocks of netherite, and blocks of emerald.

Template:Crafting usage

Sulfur cube
