A block of diamond, known internally as a diamond block, is a precious mineral block equivalent to nine diamonds.
Blocks of diamond can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better.
Blocks of diamond generate as the cores of "obsidian rooms" and "lava rooms" in woodland mansions.

Blocks of diamond can be used to store diamonds in a compact fashion.
Blocks of diamond can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3Γ3 square of diamond blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5Γ5, 7Γ7 and 9Γ9 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.
