Find Diamonds in Minecraft PE

Diamonds are used to craft the very best weapons and equipment in Minecraft, and they're also one of the hardest things to find. Diamonds are incredibly rare, and require dedication and patience to find. To maximize your chances of mining diamonds in Minecraft PE, See Step 1 below.

Steps

Preparing to Mine

  1. Craft an Iron Pickaxe (wood, stone or even gold pickaxes won't work) so you can receive diamonds when you mine Diamond ore. In order to create an Iron Pickaxe, you will need 3 Iron Ingots and 1 stick.
  2. Gather some food. Diamonds are found in the lowest levels of worlds, so the journey will be a long one. You'll want to ensure that you have enough provisions to able to stay and mine for a good amount of time without dying of hunger.
  3. Bring some weapons. You'll be down in the deepest reaches of the Minecraft world, so you're sure to come across some hostile mobs. Make sure you have some good armor and a trusty sword before heading out. Be prepared!

Finding Diamonds

  1. Be a Good Miner in Minecraft. Find a good cave system until you hit bedrock. This is the lowest you can go in the world, and will help you know how deep you are when you're mining. Diamond ore is typically found in layers 1-15, with the highest concentration around layer 8.
    • Never, ever dig straight down, as you don't know what is underneath those blocks. You might fall into a dungeon or a pool of lava.
  2. Start your mine. Once you hit bedrock, go back up until you're around level 8 and start your mine. Dig a central room about 2 blocks tall, 4 blocks long, and 4 blocks high.
    • Some players like to start the mine around layer 11. This will result in a slightly smaller chance of finding diamonds, but you are less likely to tunnel directly into a lava pit this way. Remember, diamonds usually spawn near lava.
    • It is recommended that you create a chest in the central room of your mine so that you have a place to store excess ore as you build the mine.[1]
  3. Branch out. Dig a corridor 2 blocks high and at least 50 blocks long in each direction. These will be your starting branches. Walk down one of your corridors and start mining to the left and right every six blocks. This will maximize your efficiency the amount of blocks you can see as you mine. 
  4. Keep digging. Diamonds are one of the rarest things in the game to find, E[2], and occur in less than 1% of the blocks in the lower levels. Finding diamonds is more of a game of luck than anything else, and patience is the most important thing to have when mining for them.
    • If you are lazy and don't want to do this much work, set off some TNT or craft the Wither. But it's best to go into Survival Mode before setting of any explosives. Also, using explosives can shorten your time mining but you might destroy some valuable ores like gold ores or the diamond ores you came for.(The Wither destroys any blocks in its way.)



Tips

  • Bring lots of torches as you can be down there mining for a while.
  • If you don't have iron, bring a bunch of stone pickaxes and find iron when you are underground.
  • You might wanna bring a furnace, a bed and a crafting table.You might be stuck in a mine for days.
  • Before breaking the diamonds dig around first because there might be lava underneath. When a mined block falls into lava, it burns up and disappears, leaving you with nothing.
  • Be careful of water, lava, gravel and sand, as you can suffocate or drown.
  • Keep some wooden planks with you to craft sticks and a ladder which will help you to craft weapons and get out of a cave easily.
  • Make sure you bring extra stone, wood, or dirt as extra blocks, so if you fall in a cave and you find rare ores like lapis lazuli, redstone, or diamonds you can make a bridge across lava. Water buckets are also needed. You can get obsidian (can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe) or cobblestone by putting lava and water together.
  • Try finding caves. Mining for diamonds in them will save you a lot of time and work. Dig around the lowest levels, near redstone or lapis lazuli.
  • If monsters and other foes are out of control, then bring the difficulty level to Easy or Peaceful so they do not interrupt you in your work, though this is cheating.

Warnings

  • Never dig straight down, you could mine straight into lava or fall in a deep cave.
  • Be extremely careful around bedrock, which is on the lowest levels of Minecraft. You could fall out of the world into the Void if you mine too deep and die.
