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. This (along with items in general) is only available in Indev, Infdev, Alpha and Beta mode. Diamonds are considered one of the most valuable items in the game due to their rarity and usefulness as a crafting material. Diamond is only useful when crafted into something, but 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 and solid diamond blocks. As of the July 30th update (Seecret Friday Update 7), you can make a jukebox with diamonds.

It cannot be mined using stone, wooden or golden pickaxes. It can only be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe.

Diamond Ore can be mostly found at levels below 18.

Diamond Ore is found in small veins of 1-4 together.
