Q&A for How to Find Diamonds in Minecraft

It happens very rarely, but yes. If there are more than 10 Diamonds in one vein, it's probably due to a collision between two veins.

Diamonds are found equally in any biome. It does not matter which one. Diamonds can be hard to find in all biomes.

Try keeping them in a hidden chest somewhere. Maybe under the floor of your house with a block placed on top.

Yes, in villages. Search for the blacksmith's house: there will be a chest inside. Occasionally, a diamond will have the chance of spawning.

Branch mining is whenever you go down to a layer (for example, layer 9), and start mining in a straight line. You will then go back to where you start and every two blocks, you will mine the sides out as far as your pick can reach. This will give you a higher chance of finding diamonds.

Food, multiple picks, torches and chests for storage. (Don't forget those chests and food.)

Dig a staircase out of the cave. If your pickaxe breaks, craft a new one using your materials. If you do not have materials, you will have to break the stone with your hand.

Bring a bucket of water to make the lava into obsidian. Remember that obsidian is formed when water falls on top of lava, so pour from above, preferably onto a block next to the lava so that the water will flow down too. Also, obsidian can only be mined by a diamond pickaxe, so it might be best to use a block to plug the lava while you mine.

Yes, diamonds can be found in caves, but only in very deep caves.

If you go underground with a water bucket and you spot a lava lake, place water next to it and the lava should turn into a purple block of obsidian. You do need a diamond pick axe though.

You can't mine through bedrock in Survival mode. You can in Creative mode, but there is nothing under there: it's a place called ''the Void'', where you will die.

Layers 1 - 16, although they are more abundant in layers 8 - 13.

Yes, and that's why you need to dig around them to make sure you and your diamonds don't burn.

Yes, but to find them underwater, you must find a guardian temple. And, yes, they can be found in sand temples too.

You can find an infinite number. Look in deserts and make sure you don't brake the middle (orange wool) block otherwise you will fall on a pressure plate and set some TNT off.

Diamonds will have light blue flecks, and stone is just gray.

Get a enchant table -- which is made out of four obisbion, two diamonds and a book -- or find an enchantment book and an anvil and enchant it that way.

No. Cow spawners don't give light out, and they don't spawn cows very often. To make it worse, you have to kill the cow, which can be hard in some cases. Bring torches for food and other foods for food like cookies, bread, or apples.

Staircase down to layer 6 and start branch mining.

You could use your enchanting table to enchant your pickaxe. Or, if you don't have one, use an anvil, but you will need an enchanting book to enchant weapons with an anvil.

Desert temples are found at ground level in desert biomes.

Strip mining is the same thing as branch mining; it's just a different word.

No, in villages there might be iron and saplings and food but it's not likely to find diamonds in villages and there has to be a blacksmith workplace to have the chest there to find one. They have lava on the front of their house.

You can also find diamonds in End Cities and End Ships.

Yes, in the blacksmith shed if there is a chance of their appearance in a chest.

You can tame as many as you want, there is no limit to the amount of animals you can tame in Minecraft.

You can make a diamond pickaxe and enchant it with fortune 3 to get more diamonds!

They can craft a number of things such as armor, tools, and diamond blocks. They're rare, though, so use them wisely.

Emeralds are the rarest, but diamonds are pretty hard to find too. Don't go looking for them in caves!

You may not be able to find ore. However, you can find the diamonds in a chest.
