Talk:Diamond

the diamonds are renewable basically because you can reset the nether by deleting the dim1 folder from the world folder and it will reset the nether and then in them the coffin of the Nether fortress will find the diamond cause this reset nether and loots in the fortress.

This type of game file exploit doesn't count, and it doesn't work on all versions (console versions for example). 114.37.179.60 07:03, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

As stated on this page, diamonds were initially known as "emeralds" when first added, before being renamed to diamonds a couple days later. However, item names were not displayed in-game until Beta 1.0, so this rename would have had no actual effect. I attempted to note this on the page, but the edit was reverted because I shouldn't "describe the future in a 'History' section", apparently? I could probably just add it back, but I want to get other people's thoughts on this first. - Luke18033 (talk) 22:20, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

 Weak Support Yes i suppose its describing the future, but its still technically history as Beta 1.0 was still almost 10 years ago. James Haydon (talk) 23:26, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

"Placing a block of diamond in the crafting grid is like cutting 9 fragments of Cullinan Diamond."

Not sure how this happened, but the article tells me that I can craft a diamond block with 9 diamonds (yes) or a diamond block with 9 diamonds (duh) or a diamond block with 4 diamonds (nope!). I would edit it, but it uses some kind of template magic. 79.246.87.227 15:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

 Fixed. This was caused by historical crafting recipes in Crafting remaining categorized despite them no longer being valid recipes. BDJP ^(t|c) 16:25, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

In the new snapshot, the trial spawners were added, which send a mob army at you, rewarding you with good items like OP-Gapples, enchanted tools and also diamonds. They have a 30 minute cooldown, but they can be infinitely reused, which means you can get infinite diamonds by building an automatic farm that finishes these trials automatically, making you get a few diamonds along with some tools and enchantments every 30 minutes (and this also makes OP-Gap's renewable). AFK for a few hours and you got the stonks comin' in ;) --UpdateFreak (talk) 16:19, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Note that this may not be in actual gameplay. In fact, I went into the experimental snapshot to test it and it did not, in fact, give me any diamonds or emeralds or things like that. It just gave me a trial key. Now, it may give you diamonds with multiple people, as the rewards increase the more people are in the fight. However, I only saw diamonds coming out of the spawner in the development versions shown at Minecraft Live. Just keep this in mind. --ThatOneWolf ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:26, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Trial spawners do not reward diamonds. - Harristic | Talk 👁 DungeonsEntitySprite penguin-onesie.png: Sprite image for penguin-onesie in Minecraft

What I think is going on is they used diamonds and emeralds as placeholders for other rewards. It makes sense. They have to showcase it even if they don't know what to reward the player with. Using placeholders is what I would do in their situation. --ThatOneWolf ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:31, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I know things like this have been posted multiple times but I'm almost certain this one is actually correct.

According to the ominous trial spawner page, diamonds are among the loot which can be ejected from them after they have been defeated. These can be run multiple times, all that's needed as a source of ominous bottles, which are renewable (they are dropped by pillager captains, which will spawn basically anywhere in the overworld). This loot table is likely subject to change in the future, but there is from what we know now, diamonds will become renewable in 1.21.

I'm pretty sure the renewable status needs to be changed to

Diamonds are actually loot from vaults and ominous vaults. As in vanilla survival, they can only be unlocked once per player, diamonds remain non-renewable. BDJP ^(t|c) 23:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, yeah, sorry about creating a third renewable section on this talk page. I was probably looking at the wrong page when I noticed diamonds were on there. I'll definitely be sure to double check next time. Kit Snicket (talk) 20:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Actually, neither the ominous nor the normal trail spawner provide diamonds as loot. However both the ominous and normal vault do. Renewability through vaults is more complicated as it requires multiple accounts or multiplayer to overflow the 128 stored players. How to best indicate that is currently getting discussed at MCW:Forum/Renewability and vault. -- 👁 Image

Nothing we can do about that. Its just how tables work. BDJP ^(t|c) 07:58, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
