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)

Diamonds called emeralds in code = false
Diamonds are not technically called "emeralds" in Minecraft's original source code as it is when you buy it. They are called something like "ccb" or otherwise, because the code is obfuscated.

The mistake of calling diamonds Emeralds in the code is the people who did Minecraft Coder Pack. If I remember correctly Notch didn't tell us how to de-obfuscate the code nor did he provide an answer key, so for all we know the code he originally made (pre-obfuscation) could have called diamonds "thoseShinyBlueThings". (not that it did, we just don't know for sure) 216.175.102.133 02:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Coincidence?
There is a world in the iconic video game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 called 'Emerald Hill Zone', and emeralds are only found naturally in Extreme Hills biomes. —matthewmcvickar –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.91.47.122 (Talk) 22:25, 23 February 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Without a source from a Mojangsta saying it's an intentional homage, yes it is just a coincidence. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:36, 24 February 2013 (UTC))

Trivia: Strong resemblance to Legend of Zelda rupees
Don't really know how intentional it is, but emerald show a great resemblance to the rupees of the Legend of Zelda franchise: 79.207.70.221 20:40, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * rupees are the currency in loz; emeralds are used for trading in mc;
 * the most common rupees are green; the emeralds are green;
 * the the shapes seem related
