Usage[edit]
Blocks of diamond can be used to store diamonds in a compact fashion.
Beacons[edit]
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.

Trivia[edit]
- 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.
