Block of Diamond


 * This article is about the solid Diamond block. 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 diamond gems together in a 3x3 square. Diamond blocks 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 pick.

Diamond blocks had a different skin when first made. The skin was changed from to the current texture in the Halloween Update. This block has the same texture on all six sides, which was different in the old block, where three textures were used. It is possible that Notch has plans with the free space now available in the terrain.png file.
