Minecraft:Block of Diamond

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

Natural generation

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

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 Minecraft:blocks of iron, Minecraft:blocks of gold, Minecraft:blocks of netherite, and Minecraft:blocks of emerald.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blocks of diamond, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
