Block of Diamond

A block of diamond is a precious mineral block.

Breaking
Blocks of diamond can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better.

Natural generation
Diamond blocks spawn as the cores of "obsidian 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, blocks of netherite, and blocks of emerald.

Note blocks
Blocks of diamond can be placed under note blocks to produce bell sounds.

Trivia

 * One block of diamond and one log is exactly enough to create 4 diamond tools with one or no sticks left over, depending on if players use a sword or a hoe.


 * The block of diamond has the same texture as the block of gold, but tinted blue, even after the Texture Update.
