Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Blocks of diamond can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Blocks of diamond generate as the cores of "obsidian rooms" and "lava rooms" in woodland mansions.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Blocks of diamond can be used to store diamonds in a compact fashion.

Beacons

[edit | edit source]

Blocks of diamond can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3Γ—3 square of diamond blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5Γ—5, 7Γ—7 and 9Γ—9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely diamond blocks, as they may also contain blocks of iron, blocks of gold, blocks of netherite, and blocks of emerald.
