•How to Mine Diamonds in Minecraft
Diamonds are a rare mineral in Minecraft and can be sure to make some of the best gear in the game. Sometimes you get lucky and find a handful all in one location. Other times, you'll just find one. A great tip for mining them is to enchant your axe with Fortune so that more than one will drop when you mine diamonds. Diamonds can be used to craft a series of different items.
Listed below are all the items you can craft with Diamonds.
•Block of Diamond
•Diamond Armor
•Diamond Tools
•Diamond Weapons
Before starting your adventure, know that you need the right tools to get the job done. You'll need an Iron or Diamond Pickaxe to mine a Diamond. A Wood, Stone, or Gold Pickaxe won't do the trick as you'll simply mine through the Diamond Ore, and no Diamonds will be mined. What a waste!
The 1.18 Caves and Cliffs update added more underground layers in the Overworld. Now players can dig even further underground without hitting bedrock. Usually, Diamond is found under layer 12, but now if you get to these -Y levels, the odds of finding diamond significantly increase: -50, -64, -59, and -58.
It's important to mention that bedrock now appears at Y level -60.
Players can also find Diamonds in Generated Structures. Listed below are the locations Diamonds spawn in Java, the chances of finding them, how many, and where they're located.

•Don't get too excited and quickly mine Diamond Ore. Make sure you check the surrounding blocks, first. If you don't, you might find yourself surprised by a Lava flow and lose your treasure, or worse, your life.
•Always bring lots of Torches. Mining is a dark job. If you want to ensure you can see, bring the necessary tools.
•Lava does not guarantee Diamonds. Many players associate Lava with finding rare Ore, but that's not the truth. Because Lava is most common in the same place that Diamonds are found, there is often a crossover.
