Minecraft:Diamond Ore

Template:Infobox block Diamond ore is a rare Minecraft:ore that generates deep underground, and drops Minecraft:diamonds when mined.

Deepslate diamond ore is a variant of diamond ore that can generate in Minecraft:deepslate and Minecraft:tuff blobs, and is more common than its regular variant.

Obtaining

Breaking

The diamond ore block itself (rather than its Minecraft:diamond drops) can be obtained by mining it with an iron pickaxe or better, with the Minecraft:Silk Touch enchantment. When mined without Silk Touch, diamond ore drops a single diamond and

Template:Redr. The maximum number of diamonds dropped from a diamond ore block can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a Template:Frac chance for 2 diamonds, averaging 1.33 diamonds, Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give 2 or 3 diamonds, averaging 1.75 diamonds, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 2, 3, or 4 diamonds, averaging 2.2 diamonds.

Ore feature of diamond ores

Ore feature of diamond ore.

Diamond ore generates in the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of ore features, and is more common as the altitude decreases. Diamond ore blocks have a chance to not generate if they are exposed to Minecraft:air; however, they do not have a reduced chance to generate if exposed to water or lava, making them appear more commonly on the walls of aquifers.

Diamond ore generation occurs in four batches:

• 7 blobs of 1-5 ores per chunk, from Y=16 to Y=-63. There is a 50% chance to not generate an ore block if it is next to air.
• 1 blob of 1-23 ores every Template:Frac chunks, from Y=16 to Y=-63. There is a 70% chance to not generate an ore block if it is next to air.
• 4 blobs of 1-10 ores per chunk, from Y=16 to Y=-63. Ore blocks do not generate if they are next to air.
• 2 blobs of 1-10 ores per chunk, from Y=-4 to Y=-63. There is a 50% chance to not generate an ore block if it is next to air.

Diamond ore can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:tuff, and Minecraft:deepslate. Diamond ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate diamond ore, which is more common than its regular variant because diamond ore is more likely to generate at lower altitudes.

Deepslate diamond ore also generates as part of Minecraft:fossils that generate below Y=0, replacing some of the bone blocks.

Deepslate diamond ore is most commonly found at Y=-58 and Y=-59.

Usage

The primary usage of diamond ore is to mine it for Minecraft:diamonds.

Note blocks

Diamond ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb diamond ore and deepslate diamond ore, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

Trivia

• In some blob formations, Minecraft:ores connect diagonally.
• After the Caves & Cliffs update, diamond ore is the only type of Overworld ore that largely keeps the classic ore texture, with only some minor tweaks to coloration.
• The Minecraft mechanic that diamond ore replaces coal ore in fossils that generate in deepslate layers, is in accordance with the common misconception in real life that
