The maximum amount of diamonds dropped can be increased with Fortune. When mined without Silk Touch, diamond ore drops a single diamond. The diamond ore block itself (rather than its diamond drops) can be obtained by mining it with an iron, diamond or netherite pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment. Diamond ore generating under Y=0 or in a deepslate blob will be replaced by its deepslate variant. Diamond ore that replaces tuff or deepslate will become deepslate diamond ore. Diamond ore can replace stone, granite, diorite, andesite, tuff, and deepslate.

Diamond ore is also less likely to be exposed to air: 50% of ore blocks from the first batch and 70% from the second batch will not generate. The second batch generates in 1⁄ 9 chunks in blobs of 0-23 ores, from Y=14 to Y=-63, being more common as the y-level decreases. The first batch generates 6 times per chunk in blobs of 0-5 ores, from Y=14 to Y=-63, being more common as the y-level decreases. Diamond ore attempts to generate in two batches. For diamond ore distribution, see Ore § Overworld.ĭiamond ore can generate in the Overworld in the form of blobs.
