Diamond
Rare deep-ore gemstone crafted into the strongest pre-Netherite tools, weapons, and armor, found primarily in the lower half of the world.

Description
Diamond ore generates between Y -64 and Y 16, with the highest concentration around Y -58. Mining with a Fortune III pickaxe multiplies drops, and each vein yields one to nine gems. The deepslate variant generates at the same Y levels near bedrock but requires a stronger pickaxe to mine efficiently.
This gemstone crafts full sets of tools and armor that offer significantly better durability and effectiveness than iron gear. A diamond sword deals seven damage and has 1562 durability. The material also crafts enchanting and smithing tables, and is consumed when duplicating armor trim templates. Since the 1.20 update, diamond armor can be upgraded to Netherite at a smithing table without losing enchantments — making diamond gear the essential stepping stone to end-game equipment. Fortune III pickaxes and efficient strip-mining at Y -58 remain the fastest ways to accumulate the gem.
