This article is about the solid Block of Diamond. 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. They 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. They have the same texture on all six sides.
