Q&A for How to Find Diamonds in Minecraft PE

They make the strongest and most powerful lasting tools in vanilla MC. You get get more if you enchant your iron pickaxe with fortune.

Layers four through 16 are where most of any ore spawn. So mine a 4x4 straight, make sure when you are going down not to dig straight down, that's a cardinal rule in all Minecraft versions.

You usually find them around level 8 (eight blocks above bedrock), so try looking there. They also commonly are found in very deep caves or around lava. As for a specific biome, any place can be good for you to start mining for diamonds.

Diamonds are mostly found underground, near Y=12 level--or 12 blocks up from bedrock. It is easier to find diamonds in caves deep down underground.

Expect to get 5 to 8 diamonds for each group that you find.

An iron pickaxe or better. Fortune three will give you more diamonds per ore.

Try digging a staircase until you hit bedrock. if you don't see any, expand the staircase by the bedrock and about five blocks above, too. Diamonds are commonly found near redstone. If all else fails, you can use an app from the app store, called MCPE PoketTool.

Since diamonds are so rare, it could take hours or days to find a few. It's impossible to know an exact time since worlds are generated differently, but it will definitely take quite a while.

The best places to look for lava are levels 11 to 13. But you will find diamonds more often on the same level as lava, not near lava.

If you run across open realms within the overworld, ravines often tend to spawn in open, clear forestry areas. Try and stay away from any other specific biomes, a speed potion and lots of food is recommended, just be sure not to fall in them once you've found them!

You don't really need them, but some people want them. You can craft better armor and swords and be rich.

Equip ladders, dig a hole up while climbing up on it, and you're back on ground level. Make sure you have at least 64 ladders.

You cannot check your coordinates in Minecraft PE, so you can find the lowest bedrock layer (0) and count up to find your Y level.

The diamond ore block looks like a stone block with blue specks. Equip your iron pickaxe and hold your finger over the diamond ore to turn it into a diamond.

You must have a potion that can let you breathe underwater. Keep in mind that it is much easier to mine ores in undergrounds mines or caves.

Levels refer to the Y-coordinate, or how far up you are from bedrock. Diamonds can be found anywhere below layer 16, but are most common on layers 5 - 12.

Minecraft PE 1.2 Update added the option to show coordinates. Go to your world's settings, activate cheats, and click Show Coordinates. Simply look at the second number for your Y-coordinate.

Sort of. Diamonds usually spawn in clumps of about 2-3 blocks. But if you mean do they spawn close together, then no.

Start making branches (tunnels 2 blocks high and 1 block wide) spaced 3 blocks apart. Since ore almost always spawns in veins of more than one block, this ensures that you don't miss anything. There are, on average, 3 diamonds in every chunk (16 x 16 square), so if you can't find anything, dig over 16 blocks and continue.

No. You cannot eat diamonds.

The stone with the green dots is cobblestone with a bit of moss in it. It is not very valuable, but you can use it for stairs when you want to go back to ground level.

The more rare an item is, the more valuable it is. Obviously a diamond is the strongest ore in the game, so a player feels rewarded when they do find it.

General level is Y=12, but it can also be near Y=16, or in a ravine. If you can find a ravine, then all the diamonds and iron are already in plain sight.

Diamonds are rare because they generate at Y=12, near bedrock, yet Emerald ore is the rarest.

Turn on your coordinates.These will help you find diamonds in the game as they will give you a clue which layer you are at. After you hit y=12 or y=11, find any exposed diamonds in the cave or try to strip mine near the lava if you don't see any. If your pick axe broke while strip mining, bring a crafting table and save some wood to convert these to planks then sticks.

No, after 1.19, the best y-level to mine at for diamonds is in-between y 15 and -63. You can still mine at y 11, but you'll find more diamonds around y -59.

As of now, the community is speculating this will be another End Update, possibly revamping strongholds and adding new biomes to the End Dimension. However, this is all speculation, so no one can guarantee this until the update is officially announced by Mojang.

Many Minecraft PE servers disable Wither spawning, as Withers in Bedrock Edition are incredibly strong compared to their Java counterparts, and can be used to grief other players as well as cause mass destruction to the server.

Iron golems spawn naturally in all village types and will continue to naturally respawn after one is killed as long as villagers are present.

I would suggest looking for lava pits in caves, (at that level as well). Make sure to bring a water bucket to place above the lava so you don’t die, and mine around the diamonds first to check if there’s any lava near it. Have a safe and lucky mining trip! ⛏
