Name
I was playing around and I put them in the crafting table. Before they said emerald but after i put them in the crafting table their name changed diamond. It seems like a bug but does anyone else have this problem? Killrbladez 21:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Uses
Do you think that you will ever be able to make armor and tools with these? They don't do much right now, and i would love a green pickaxe! ZeCraftyMiner 01:21, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

No offence, but that is the worst idea ive ever heard. Emerald armor would look terrible, plus it would be really wasteful. Emeralds are perfect the way they are (as money).

But that's your opinion. If they added them as tools and armor, you would not have to use them for that purpose. You make think that Green pants would look bad, but i think they would look cool. I don't care too much if it is an impractical use, because it is still a use. And isn't that the overall idea of Minecraft? To do what you want, how you want to do it? I am just saying that it could be in the game at some point in the future, and that i am not the only one who thinks this is a good idea, just like you are not the only one who thinks this is a bad idea.

It's only the people who only play on creative who think this, us survival people care about practicality more than pretty green pants. 68.2.171.84 19:08, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Emerald Blocks!
Emerald blocks would be great for storing large amounts of emeralds.

Zelda?
I think emeralds look very similar to green gems used as currency in Zelda Avdenture in AdventureCraft. Jeb may have inspired them from it. Xeoxer 14:30, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I think they just looks stupid (no offense to Zelda) ,they shall look more 'rough' --79.47.163.57 17:23, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Who cares about Zelda! I kind of agree with 79.47.163.57. When you mine them, emeralds should look uncut and raw. But you should be able to smelt them and turn them into the versions of emeralds that there are now.68.2.171.84 00:26, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
