Diamond ore is a block that drops a diamond when mined.

Variants of diamond ore include Stone Diamond Ore, Basalt Diamond Ore, Limestone Diamond Ore and Granite Diamond Ore.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Diamond ore deposits can generate underground, replacing stone and basalt, at Y=32 and below. Limestone and granite variants are only obtainable through commands and the creative menu.

Mining

Diamonds can be obtained by mining diamond ore with an iron pickaxe or higher. If mined with a lower pickaxe tier or without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If mined with a golden pickaxe, it drops itself.
