Diamond Ore is a Block that was added in Update 0.1.0.
Obtaining[]
Diamond Ore is most commonly found in layers 0-16 above Bedrock, and has to be mined using an Iron Pickaxe or above, however, Players must use a Silk Touch- Enchanted Pickaxe to obtain the Diamond Ore block itself.
Smelting[]
Note: Diamond Ore can only be smelted if obtained through Silk Touch. In normal circumstances, Diamond Ore drops Diamonds when mined.
- 1 Diamond Ore + Any Fuel => 1 Diamond
Usage[]
When mined, Diamond Ore yields one Diamond. If the Player uses a Fortune-Enchanted Pickaxe on it, its drops are increased depending on the level of the enchantment used on it.
