Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

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.

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.
