We want you to be the best player, or female, of Minecraft , so we make it really easy for you with our guides.

What is the Diamond and how is it obtained?

Diamond is the most sought after mineral in Minecraft . That it has this status is because it is the most useful for creating weapons, armor and equipment in general, since it gives them a durability well above that obtained by making such utensils with other materials. The problem it has is that its rarity is very high, and it is not easy to find or extract it. However, here we are going to make sure that it is easy to find it, exploit all its blocks, have large quantities and, of course, manufacture everything that can be manufactured with it.

From now on, we anticipate that you will have to get good reserves of Iron Pikes to be able to mine this mineral , since its hardness is very high and you can only use this type of tool to obtain it, or versions with better minerals. Also, carrying water with you is essential. The Diamond usually has a habit of being near lava, and we already know that this is the most dangerous .

How to get Diamond

The best way to get Diamond in Minecraft is by mincing Diamond ores. These blocks usually appear in caves, mines and underground at a height of Y = 2-16. The problem is that it is quite difficult to find, since the Diamante ore block has a spawn rate of approximately 0.085%. If you go below layer 16 you will have a much better chance of finding it and being able to extract it. Of course, to achieve this it is advisable to use an Iron Pick, since it is faster when it comes to chopping the block and guarantees the obtaining of Diamond when breaking it. Also, if your pick has the Fortune enchantment, you can get up to 4 diamonds per broken block and, if you have Silk Touch, get the Diamond Ore instead of the material.

In the case of not wanting to mine, another thing you can do is search chests . On this occasion, there are very clear figures about its probability of appearance in the different chests that are distributed in some of the Minecraft biomes . To be exact, the probabilities are those that we are going to indicate just below:

• Underworld Fortress Chest - 23.5%
• End City Chest - 21.5%
• Blacksmith Chest - 16.3%
• Jungle Temple Chest - 15.5%
• Desert Temple Chest - 11.3%
• Trolley with Chest - 10.5%
• Fortress Altar Chest - 7.4%

If what you have are Diamond Ores in your inventory, all you have to do is take them to the Smelting Furnace and combine with any type of fuel. For each ore used, you will get one unit of Diamond.

What to make with Diamante

With the Diamond you can create highly durable weapons, armor and tools . It is the most recommended material to equip yourself in conditions for the fight with the Enderdragón , the final boss of the video game. If you want to see those recipes, you should know that they follow the same pattern as to create weapons with Iron. Therefore, we advise you to enter our guide on Iron and replace the amounts of this mineral with the same amounts of Diamond to make swords, armor, picks, axes and other equipment.

Now, what else can you do with the Diamond in Minecraft? Let's get into it now as we rule out its use in the smelting furnace first. It cannot be used in any of the ways here, except to get the material as such from the ores. Let's focus on what can be done with Diamond on the Artboard .

• Diamond Block - 9x Diamond
• Table of Enchantments - 4x Obsidian + 2x Diamond + 1x Book
• Turntable - 1x Diamond + 1x Wood of any kind
