DIAMONDS in Minecraft 1.19! ULTIMATE GUIDE

Finding diamonds in minecraft can be hard especially with the new update and that’s why it’s extremely important you know where and how to find them so i created the ultimate diamond mining guide where you’ll learn the best methods for finding diamonds so before we touch on the best methods you need to

Know where to find the diamonds so i’ve cleared out this whole area starting at y15 all the way down to y minus 63. so your traditional diamond door that looks like this is actually so much more rare now and spawns from y15 up until you hit

Deep slate the reason diamond door is so much rare now is because not only is there a much smaller area for them to generate in but diamonds now generate more frequently the lower you go so although diamond door is quite rare deep slate diamond door is definitely not and

You can see this as you go further down the more diamonds spawn not only do they spawn more frequently but they actually spawn in much bigger veins you see before 1.17 the biggest vein of diamond ore was 8 but now i’ve seen upwards of 17. like as i’m moving around here you

Can just see how many diamonds are here so great diamonds spawn more frequently at the lowest level so that’s why you should strip mine right well no i personally wouldn’t recommend this see if you’re minding it around y minus 59 yes you might find diamonds but the other potential slots where it could

Have spawned have been overridden by bedrock meaning you guessed it less diamonds for you so what i’ve found is the optimum layer is around -57 as it gives space for all to spawn below you while still getting maximum returns anywhere from -57 to -51 can be good

Though and will be your most efficient level to collect your diamonds okay perfect so now you know where to find the diamonds but before i discuss the ultimate best method for getting these make sure you’re subscribed to give yourself some diamond finding luck and i would really appreciate it so i’m going

To cover different methods today starting with the traditional caving now we know caves in the new update are absolutely huge so you’d expect to find loads of diamonds scattered around but unfortunately this is just not the case yes you may find some diamonds this way but not a crazy amount as diamonds have

A reduced air exposure meaning it’s much less frequent to see them in the caves i go into this in much more detail in my ultimate mining guide where i showcase how to find every ore in minecraft if you’re interested in that although it’s harder to find diamond or in caves i do

Have a nice way around this so i said diamonds have reduced air exposure but what doesn’t count as air is water i mean it should do because there’s literally oxygen in h2o but what i’m getting at is the aquifer caves these are the new huge underwater caves and do

Not affect the spawn rate of diamonds meaning this is a really good way to get full diamond armor and full diamond tools all you need is a helmet enchanted with respiration and you’ll be able to get so many diamonds especially with how big the caves are nowadays another bonus

For you is that there are much less hostile mobs spawning in these caves making collecting the diamonds a walk in the park you can expect tropical fish glow squids and i guess they are drowned other than that get your diamonds key now it wouldn’t be a diamond guide

Without the good old classic strip mining now so far on this list i’d say this is the most efficient way of collecting diamonds so first off make your way down to around y minus 51 to a minus 57. personally i suggest -57 now there’s two methods that get me a stupid

Amount of diamonds in my survival world and they both have their perks so the first one i use i like to call it diagonal mining so you start your bottom level at -57 minus straight line then move two blocks to the left and go up to y minus 55

Then create a tunnel and then all you have to do is recreate this pattern infinitely to cover as much space as possible which gives you a high chance of finding diamonds from all the different tunnels and you cover multiple levels now the second one you could try

Is box mining mine in one direction 100 blocks turn right 100 blocks and keep going until you’ve fully made it back and formed a square so from every tunnel move over three blocks leaving a wall of two blocks thick and repeat the process this covers a huge area making it almost

Impossible to miss diamond or and it’s very safe for mobs especially with the way mobs work now see mobs used to be able to spawn from a light level of 7 or below but now it must be absolutely pitch black with a light level of zero

This is good as now from where you place your torch you can go 24 blocks away before having to place another one thus using much less resources now some people like to do this method but in a one by one space known as crawl mining although it is in some ways more

Efficient i personally don’t like it that much as you move a lot slower and also if you hit lava it’s much harder to retreat and move out the way so i personally wouldn’t recommend that a very unique method is fossil mining so if you don’t know what this is diamonds

Now spawn very frequently surrounding fossils underground specifically below y0 so as soon as you find a fossil underground just mine around the stone and you’ll find quite a few diamonds now you’re probably asking but how do i find these fossils in the first place so i’ll

Give you a nice little tool that makes life a whole lot easier so if you search for a seed finder and scroll in on the world you’re using you can find the exact coordinates of every fossil in your world some people find this a little bit cheaty but it’s personal

Preference and probably the easiest way to find diamonds in 1.19 if you’re a minecrafter that doesn’t actually even enjoy mining well you’re in luck you can collect diamonds from loot chests around your world like dungeons and mansions etc or even better if you create a villager farm specifically with tall

Smiths weaponsmiths and armor villagers you can trade for every diamond tool and every piece of diamond armor in the game the downside of this though is you can’t get diamonds themselves or diamond blocks and you have to level up all your villagers for better trades so that concludes the ultimate diamond guide in
