Block of Diamond

A block of diamond is a decorative mineral block.

Obtaining
Blocks of diamond can only be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe.

Natural generation
Diamond blocks spawn as the cores of "obsidian tree rooms" and "lava rooms" in woodland mansions.

Usage
Blocks of diamond can be used to store diamonds in a compact fashion.

Beacons
Blocks of diamond can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of diamond blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely diamond blocks, as they may also contain blocks of iron, blocks of gold, and blocks of emerald.

Trivia

 * One block of diamond and one wooden log is exactly enough to create a 80% set of diamond tools with one or no sticks left over, depending on if you use a sword or a hoe.
