Find Diamonds in Minecraft

About Diamonds

Diamond ore is one of Minecraft's most valuable resources, essential for crafting high-tier tools, weapons, and armor. Each ore block drops one diamond when mined with an iron or diamond pickaxe. Diamonds typically generate in small veins below Y-level 16, often near lava pools in deep underground caves. Java Edition diamonds spawn in 1-10 block blobs, and can appear exposed in caves or fully embedded in stone, making them rare and highly sought after.
