A diamond is a mineral that can be obtained from diamond ore along with various loot chests, vaults, ominous vaults, and suspicious sand. It is required to craft diamond tools, armor, and enchanting tables and is also used to duplicate smithing templates.
Diamond ore can be mined using an iron pickaxe or better. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it has a chance of dropping an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops an ore block rather than a diamond.
The ore is found at level 15 or lower, most commonly between -50 and -64, appearing more frequently as the Y-level decreases, but with a possibility of generation being prevented by bedrock at -59 and below.
