Contents
Do you want to find diamonds, but aren’t sure where to start? Perhaps you require a diamond pickaxe in order to find obsidian, and then explore the nether or create an Enchantment Table. Diamonds are valuable, and the task isn’t easy however it is certainly possible. The tips below along with a bit of luck will increase the chances of finding diamond ore fast and efficiently mining it.
⏩ Creating an Iron or Diamond Pickaxe
👉 You will require an iron pickaxe or a diamond in order to extract diamonds. You cannot mine diamonds with any other tool Which means you need to construct either iron or diamond-based pickaxe first. If you already own an iron, or diamond-cutting tool, and are looking for tips on how to locate diamonds then skip the next part.
👉 If you’ve not created one, you should make a workbench or a making table. Crafting tables are created by placing a piece of wood in the area of your crafting creating four wooden planks. The four planks of wood are then put into the area of crafting and creating a table.
👉 Build a pickaxe made of wood. On the table you are crafting Put:
- Three planks of wood in a horizontal line that runs across on the highest 1/3.
- 2 sticks are placed in a vertical line that runs across the center of the grid.
👉 Create the stone pickaxe. With your pickaxe made of wood, dig four blocks into the ground until you come across the smooth stone. Only three stones are mined while making sure that you have two sticks. At your table for crafting, place:
- 3 cobblestones are laid out in a horizontal line that runs across the entire top third of the grid.
- Two sticks are placed in a vertical line that runs across the center of the grid.
👉 Create or locate a furnace. For your next step, you’ll require the furnace. Furnaces are available in NPC villages or built with 8 cobblestones that are arranged on the outside of your table for crafting.
👉 Make your own iron pickaxe. Start searching for iron ore using the stone tool. Iron ore can be located beneath the ground or in caves. It is only necessary for 3 kinds of iron ore.
- Within your fire, melt coal and iron ore to make one iron block. Alternately, make the iron block into nine iron ingots.
👉 Make an iron pickaxe making a line at your crafting table:
- Three iron ingots are placed along a horizontal line over in the middle 1/3.
- 2 sticks are placed in a vertical line that runs across the center of the grid.
⏩ Mining for Diamonds
👉 Before you begin, you should know that diamonds may be located above the earth in naturally produced chests. They are usually located in abandoned villages or mine shafts. While it’s possible to locate gems that aren’t mined, this is typically less efficient. It’s suggested you mine for diamonds when you are looking to gather them quickly.
👉 Be sure to have the right materials before going in for diamond mining. The goal of your mission is to acquire diamonds. However, to achieve that goal, you’ll need a few items. Prepare yourself with the following before digging into the ground to extract minerals:
- Many torches (as many as you’re able to carry, although two or more stacks should suffice).
- food.
- A pickaxe made of iron or a diamond pickaxe, if you own one.
- For instance, in the event of crowds of caves
👉 Start by digging using a digging pattern. There are a variety of digging techniques you can employ to effectively extract diamonds. Here are a few that have proved successful and effective for others:
- Create one main shaft, which is 2 blocks tall and one block wide. It will be in a straight line for a period of time. Make small arms that begin with the primary shaft and then appear after every 5 blocks. Break the arms into two tall, two-wide blocks.
- Follow straight lines in 3×3 chunks until you reach diamond ore.
👉 If you are able, use a Fortune Enchantment on your pickaxe as you mine. The enchantment of your pickaxe by the Fortune enchantment can increase the number of diamonds you collect when mining. There are three Fortune levels to that you can enchant your tools.
- Level I provides you with the chance to increase drops by 2. (a 33% increase over the average). Level II gives you a 25 percent chance of multiplying drops with 2 or 3 (yielding an average increase of 75%), and level III offers the chance of multiplying drops with 2 or 4 (averaging an increase of 120%). The chance to get a Fortune level III enchantment is extremely rare. Therefore, you can only receive a Fortune I or II when you are able to enchant your pickaxe.
👉 Explore an unmined diamond block prior to mining it. Diamond ore can be found in lava. If you mine it, there’s a possibility that the diamonds will be thrown to the bottom of the lava, which could cause destruction to them. Diamonds are extremely valuable, so it’s important to ensure that they are placed in your collection, not lava when you mine them.
- Put stones, dirt, or even gravel blocks on top of the lava in case you find yourself in an underground lake of lava beneath diamond ore. So, if the diamonds do fall and are sucked into the lava,
- Diamond tools enable the user to mine obsidian as well as ancient debris.
- Obsidian lets the player make a portal into the dimension of the nether. Ancient Debris offers nephrite fragments that can be transformed into nephrite-based ingots to make nephrite armor and tools.
- When combined together with the diamond-cut version of the piece or tool the smithing table produce some of the toughest and most reliable tools and armor available in the game.
- If a player owns diamonds, they could create an amazing table that allows players to upgrade their armor and tools.
⏩ Tips
- If your cave is an end-of-the-road it is possible to place the minecart and a chunk of TNT on top. As you sit inside the car, you will be able to see all the spaces that are open all around the area you are in.
- When you discover the perfect diamond, take it to the top and place it inside the chest.
- If the fortune pick fails or breaks, you can replace it with the silk touch pick to preserve that diamond for when you find a replacement pick.
- Do some digging near the lava pools that are on top of the areas. It’s a strategic advantage to discover diamonds.
- Don’t believe that the nether lies beneath the bedrock because it’s nothing more than pure air!
- You should bring plenty of pickaxes and torches because you could be short.
- A water bucket can be an excellent idea when you’re not able to search your inventory and purchase blocks. Water buckets can help when you come across the level of lava. Don’t look an enderman into the face(another reason to carry buckets of water). Endermen are not able to swim and could be damaged by the water.
- Begin digging at the top layer of bedrock. Diamonds produce more and you’ll be in the lava pools.
- It is important to pay attention to the walls as there could be lava!
- Keep a bucket of water with you to protect yourself in the event that you are caught in the lava’s fire. You can also apply this to get obsidian!
