Block of Diamond


 * This article is about the solid Block of Diamond. For the ore, see Diamond (Ore). For the gem, see Diamond (Gem).

Blocks of Diamond are currently available in Indev, Infdev, Alpha, and Beta and can be obtained by crafting nine Diamonds together in a 3x3 square. They currently serve no crafting purpose, and function only as decoration and as a means of storing diamonds in a compact fashion. Diamond blocks can only be mined successfully with an Iron or Diamond Pickaxe. They have the same texture on all six sides.

History
Blocks of Diamond used a different skin. The skin was changed from to the current texture in the Halloween Update. In the old block, three textures were used.

Trivia

 * Obsidian is relatively fragile in real life. Though unrealistic, in Minecraft, Obsidian has a Blast resistance of 6,000, while Diamond blocks are only 30.
