The Diamond is one of the most valuable and wanted Items in the game. This Item can be used to make good Tools and strong Armor. It can only be found deep underground between y -86 and y -99.
Appearance[]
The Diamond's texture is cyan/turquoise and shiny.
The texture of Diamond Ore is similar to that of Stone but with a few chunks of Diamond in it.
The texture of the Block is similar to that of the Gold Block and the Moonstone Block but light blue instead of yellow and white.
Obtaining[]
If you mine Diamond Ore with an Iron, Gold or Diamond Pickaxe, a Diamond will drop. Mine it with a Moonstone Pickaxe to get the Ore as a Block. Mining it with anything else will not drop anything. You can also blow it up with an explosion.
Usage[]
Diamonds can be used to make Armour such as Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, Gauntlets, and Boots. Diamonds can also be used to make Equipment such as Swords, Spades, Axes, Hoes, and Pickaxes. They are also used in crafting Diamond Blocks and Protectors.
Diamonds can be salvaged for 4 Aura XP Fragments.

Location[]
Diamonds will naturally spawn between -85 and -99 on the y-axis. Stone in this interval has a 0.28% chance of being replaced with Diamond Ore, then another attempt will be made within 2 Blocks of the spawned Diamond. There are at least 13 Blocks between the two Diamond deposits. They can only be mined with an Iron Pickaxe or better.
Trivia[]
- Sometimes, Diamonds can be found near Gold. This makes an effective mining technique, especially if you have Moonstone Explosives.
- Diamond Ore generation heights were changed from y=-86 to y=-99 to y=-85 to y=-99. See Ores for more information.
