If a player does see diamond-ore blobs exposed near a lava pool, use a water bucket to convert the surface of the pool into obsidian or cobblestone, then leave the area flooded while mining. Lava may have replaced part of the ore pocket, leaving fewer diamonds to mine. Finding underground lava pools is a good indication of the proper depth range, but may not be the best place to find diamonds. Ravines and shafts can provide shortcuts to the depths creating a waterfall can help players get down and back up safely. A bucket of water can be useful to stop lava flows.

It is best to mine at level 11 or 12 because lava beds mainly spawn at level 10. In Bedrock Edition, there is a "show coordinates" game setting that doesn't count as a cheat. In Java Edition, pressing F3 (the debug screen) helps check depth. To locate diamond ore by caving, simply explore any cave, either by locating surface entrances or digging and working down to level 15 or lower. Spelunking (exploring caves) takes less time and tool-usage than mining, but is more dangerous since there could be monsters within. When caving, a player should take the usual supplies for that, especially armor and weapons.ĭiamonds can sometimes be found in naturally-generated chests and structures. Use an iron pickaxe (or better) at these low levels for anything that looks unusual.Ī player needs a supply of torches and wood for more sticks (it is likely to find plenty of coal along the way).

Although it may be tempting to use stone tools for digging to save the durability of iron tools, remember that diamond ore does not drop diamonds when mined with a wood, stone, or gold pickaxe. The player needs an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe to mine diamonds (and any gold, emerald, or redstone they find, as well). Most players find it through caving or mining. Diamonds can be found anywhere beneath layer 16, but is most common in layers 5-12 in version 1.17.1 and below in versions 1.18 they are expected to be most common between layers -50 -64. Water Buckets are also good for mining a lava pool.Ī pickaxe with the Fortune enchantment increases the average number of diamonds obtained depending on the level, with Fortune III pickaxe harvesting an average of 2.2 (maximum 4) diamonds per ore.Ī cave with naturally occurring diamond and redstone blobs exposed.ĭiamonds can be obtained from diamond ore, a rare find found in about ~0.0846% (~1 in 1200) of blocks in levels 5-16. Players can use a bucket to store lava or from nearby lava pools for some good smelting, but if the bucket contains water, remember to store the water in a hole before starting the smelt. Additionally, a water bucket to convert lava into obsidian and to remove the burning status from falling into lava, a crafting table to make mineral blocks and furnaces, a sword to fight off mobs, and a shovel to remove dirt and gravel, and armor to reduce lava and monster damage are recommended. When descending to the deepest part of the underground ( level 10 to 12 are the best levels to find them in version 1.17 and below, in versions 1.18+ level -59 is the best), to find diamonds the player must have an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe in order to mine diamonds (bringing 2 or more is a good idea, in case one breaks), food, and some torches to prevent mobs from spawning. This tutorial is intended to help players who want to obtain, maintain, and expand their diamond supply. This makes diamonds extremely difficult to find and severely limits a player's supply of diamonds.

Diamonds are also one of the rarest ores in Minecraft along with emeralds, lapis lazuli, and ancient debris. Diamonds are one of the most sought-after items in Minecraft, due to their use in crafting diamond and netherite tools, weapons, and armor.
