Minecraft Diamond Guide


Diamond are probably the most useful item in the game. Diamonds are used to create very strong armour, and finding feels like you have actually won something.

The best places to look for Diamond would be at the bottom of ravines, or near lava lakes. Diamond will spawn at levels of about 18 and under. When going Diamond mining, A Water bucket is smart to carry with you, since it can cool of lava and turn into Obsidean which wont hurt when you walk on it. It is also advised to bring lots of food (about a stack of one type of food at least) since when going deeper underground you tend to lose hunger points much quicker.

If you do come across the Diamond Ore a few things to consider. One of them is that the ore can only be mined with an Iron Pickaxe and that the Ore only drops 1 Diamond when mined (unless the player has a Fortune enchanted pickaxe equipped).
