A '''diamond''' is a mineral that can be obtained from diamond ore along with various loot chests, [[Minecraft:vault]]s, [[Minecraft:Ominous Vault|ominous vault]]s, and suspicious sand. It is required to craft diamond [[Minecraft:tool]]s, [[Minecraft:armor]], and enchanting tables and is also used to duplicate smithing templates.

Diamond ore can be mined using an iron pickaxe or better. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it has a chance of dropping an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], it drops an ore block rather than a diamond.

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox item Template:Pointer box A diamond is a mineral that can be obtained from diamond ore along with various loot chests, Minecraft:vaults, ominous vaults, and suspicious sand. It is required to craft diamond Minecraft:tools, Minecraft:armor, and enchanting tables and is also used to duplicate smithing templates.

Obtaining

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Mining

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Diamond ore can be mined using an iron pickaxe or better. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it has a chance of dropping an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, it drops an ore block rather than a diamond.

The ore is found at level 15 or lower, most commonly between -50 and -64, appearing more frequently as the Y-level decreases, but with a possibility of generation being prevented by bedrock at -59 and below.

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

A Minecraft:vault may eject a diamond when activated by a player, giving diamonds limited renewability if multiple players activate the vault.

Trivia

  • Unlike in Minecraft, newly mined diamonds in real life are rough, cloudy stones. The largest, purest ones are polished into crystal-clear gemstones, while the rest are used in industry for cutting and grinding.
