This article is about the Diamond gem. For the block, see Diamond (Block). For the ore, see Diamond Ore.

A Diamond Gem is an item dropped when Diamond Ore is mined. Diamonds are considered one of the most valuable items in the game due to their rarity and usefulness as a crafting material. Tools and armor made from it are the most durable in the game. Diamonds can be used to make Shovels, Pickaxes, Axes, Hoes, Swords, Armor, Jukeboxes, Enchantment Tables and solid diamond blocks. A Diamond pickaxe is the only pickaxe that can be used to mine Obsidian. Diamond gems are stackable.

Diamond Ore can be mostly found at levels below 18, and is found in small veins of 1-9 together. It cannot be mined using stone, wooden or golden pickaxes. It can only be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe.

As of the Beta 1.8, diamonds can be found in dungeon chests.

In the Java coding, Diamond is titled Emerald. The reason for this is that the diamond's original name during indev was Emerald. Over time this has changed as the community continued to call Emerald pieces simply "gems".
