ECKOSOLDIER – THE BEST METHOD TO FIND DIAMONDS IN MINECRAFT 1.20+ (EXPLAINED!)

This is now the new rarest or to find in minecraft as of the 1.18 update Just a quick reminder everything i’m going over in today’s video affects all versions of minecraft whether you’re playing minecraft java edition or the bedrock version on ios android windows 10 xbox switch or playstation this applies to all versions that are running 1.18 or above so forget everything you

Think you know about finding diamonds in minecraft literally forever level 12 has been the god tier for minecraft players that’s no longer the case but don’t worry i’m here to explain everything you need to know about the new or generations so i don’t want to bore you

Too much but this is a graph of how ores used to generate in minecraft before 1.18 we know as minecraft players if you come to like this level you could mine in a straight line and find gold redstone diamonds lapis iron coal the whole shebang it’s not the same anymore

And that’s what i want to explain to you so let’s answer what i said at the start of the video the deep slate coal ore is now the rarest ore in minecraft so if you do find it silk touch it because you’re really not gonna find it that

Much so let me explain why in front of you is the minecraft 1.18 or distribution graph i know you’ve seen enough graphs in school but this one’s actually important unlike the stuff they show you in school it’s super important to know how ores now generate in minecraft i will be referring to this

Quite a lot in today’s video and i’ll leave a link down below in case you want to save it because it is super important so scrolling in and looking further down you will know that this is the deep slate layer you don’t see any coal down here now deep slate typically starts at

Level zero and below you don’t see the coal however if we zoom in here coal actually generates at level zero now the thicker the actual all gets the more common it’s going to generate but there is a very very slim chance right here because this is coal that it can

Generate as a deep slate ore the rest of it is going to be the regular call stuff which you have seen for a very very long time so at like level i know one two you might find some of the deeps they call or the negatives like one or negative

Two you might actually find it so yeah that’s super important to know and that’s why it’s rare so if you would like to find yourself some iron the best level to strip mine for iron is going to be level 16 the best level for finding

Copper is going to be y level 48 it’s also going to be even more common inside the new drip stone caves but fun fact lapis is also really easy to find at level 48 and this is due to the new no air exposure which i will explain when

We get to the diamonds however the actual best level to find lapis is level zero or level one and the evidence to support what i’ve just explained is also on this graph well actually i’m lying to you about iron i said it’s level 16.

Well it kind of is but it’s not iron is actually better the higher you go up so levels 208 to 256 iron is gonna be really really common the only issue here is you have to find terrain that actually goes this high but if you do find huge new

Mountains then obviously iron is going to be a lot more common but again for consistency level 16 is the best for iron like i mentioned copper best level is 48 but it’s gonna be more frequent and more common if you do find yourself a drip stone cave the all veins inside

Of a drip stone cave are absolutely huge so lapis has a consistent um generation here it’s all the same from level 64 all the way down to negative 64. but like i mentioned level 48 is going to be the most efficient way for you to mine this

However level 0 is going to be where it spawns more commonly but no air exposure let me explain that so lapis is definitely a more interesting ore now lapis has something called no air exposure what this means is that it’s not just going to spawn so you can

See it when you’re at level 16 or negative 16. it will be encased in materials such as stone deep slate or any other type of stone variation let me explain in a little bit more detail so this is a lapis block right it does not have a chance to spawn here

We’ll use the barrier block as air right this is an air block let’s let’s say because obviously you can’t see the air in minecraft lapis will not generate generate like this so you can see it exposed which means if you want to go find yourself lapis you are gonna have

To go and do some mining for it it is always going to be encased in some kind of material a better way to explain this is the first i think this is like partial air exposure is the debris the uh the netherrite netherright you very very rarely find it exposed like this

Which is why people tnt mine it or use beds you have to physically go mining for it if you do find it exposed it’s usually like one on its own but if you go mine it you get lucky and you can find like twos or threes or fours or

Fives if you’re very very lucky and that’s the way to explain it so if you do find any lapis that’s going to be exposed it might just be one but if you go mine it you’re gonna find multiple because the whole point is to mine and craft and

I hope that makes sense to you so what i have noticed when playing in survival is when i go exploring i find lapis on its own right i find it exposed but it’s usually just one on its own the best levels like i said is level

Zero for it you’re gonna find it more commonly because you are strip mining for it but the best value is going to be like level 48 which is the same level as copper i believe but something important that i want to cover is that water is classed as a block which means when

You’re in water caves this is gonna be found and you will find it in multiple clumps as well not just one on their own they class water as a block now this information that i’m sharing is directly from hendrick who took care of the odd distribution again i hope this

Makes sense because um this is gonna also be a factor for when you’re finding diamonds before we go over the most important thing in today’s video a couple of things i want to mention as well the likes of your emerald of course they’re going to be higher up same as iron

You’re going to find them a lot higher up which is mountain biomes only the same as previously as for redstone well redstone starts at level 16 and below at level 16 to level negative 32 it’s consistent at uh spawn rates the further you go down towards the negatives like

Negative 32 to negative 64. redstone becomes more common so the deeper you are the more redstone you are going to find negative 16 is the best level for gold now this can start at level 32 and can be found all the way to negative 64. and is very very common in uh generation

Spread at level negative 48 and negative 64. however the reason why i didn’t talk too much about gold the best methods of golds are via the badlands the maze of biomes i highly recommend sticking to them when it comes to finding gold so diamonds is the reason why i clicked on

Today’s video fun fact this is more common than this the og diamond ore is actually a lot rarer to find than the deep slate variation let’s refer to the graph again the reason for this is pretty simple they want you to go down towards deep slate look how thick this

Is when you enter the deep slate layers however at level 0 to 16 there is still a chance that you can find diamonds but look how thin it is and that’s the reason why the og diamond ore is a lot harder to find so for anybody who has played minecraft

In 1.18 you’ve probably gone straight down to the deep state layer and you’ve probably found diamonds exposed like this now diamonds have reduced air exposure unlike lapis higher up it has no air exposure which is why you might find a couple of diamonds here and there that are the deep state version which

Are exposed however when you mine these it’s usually only one if you’re lucky you’ll find maybe two or three now i have not searched this place at all you can either believe me or not based on what i’ve shared with you today but i guarantee you at some point in here we

Are going to find an exposed diamond and when we do i’m going to be happy because it’s diamond but i guarantee you that diamond that we find is going to either be one or two there’s not going to be any more than that and that is because of the

Reduced air exposure which reduces the amount of diamonds you’re able to find and i’m doing this in real time to show you but i am confident enough there’s a lot of lapis down here come on don’t let me there we go there we go so if we dig around this

I guarantee you there’s only going to be one there is only going to be one now as you know as a minecraft player whenever you’re playing minecraft like one is great right don’t get me wrong you have fortune you get a couple you’re ready with the pickaxe and the sword uh but as

Minecraft players you want more than that you’re used to finding three four five at times so what is the best level so i’ve come to the bedrock layer here now something i want to inform you is that in minecraft now at level negative 55 lava lakes will spawn

But this is not the level you want a miner and you don’t want to be mining for diamonds above it as you guys know the reason why a lot of people mined at level 12 in the older updates is because lava generated at level 10 and you’d be

Above it so you wouldn’t mine into it and get yourself killed after doing a little bit of testing and a little bit of research and seeing what other people have also been saying level 58 and level 59 are now the best levels for you to mine for diamonds but this again can be

Very very dangerous now i’m at level 59 here the only negative about okay the only negative about this is the bedrock layer so you’re already reducing how many diamonds you can find because every so often you’re gonna have this and as you guys know it’s not a diamond

Block and i kid you not we have managed to find ourselves diamonds already there’s one two three four five we found eight diamonds already eight diamonds no lie this is like a random world and again this is how easy it can be so there’s two factors you can even do a negative

59 or you can go to negative 58. um i’ll go in this direction let’s see how long it takes for us to find diamonds but i also do have a couple of other tricks that will help you find them as i referred to before redstone as well like the feather you go down

Redstone is really really common so if you’re looking for diamonds chances are you’re gonna be stocking up on a lot of redstone as well i’m pretty sure you already know this but when you are mining for diamonds you want to miss two and that is because when you mine this

You can see this wall and when you mine at this level you can see that wall as well if you’re doing it every other one you’re wasting your time and you’re not maximizing your time and how many diamonds you can find so yeah you always want to mine miss two

Then continue mining so i’m not gonna lie to you i did a lot of mining and you’re gonna have to sometimes as well but this is definitely the best level to find it at and it’s more consistent with more diamond ores so there’s a couple of ways you could do this you

Could spend your time in the huge new caves and caverns and find yourself one or two loose diamonds which is a perfectly fine method to do it or level 58 59 is minus level 5859 is the perfect level for strip mining but again you’re not gonna find it every single time you

Are gonna have to do mining the way you did at level 12. so another method is the good old-fashioned doing it like in one block now on bedrock you have to use water to do this on java you can use a trap door uh this

Is also a super efficient way to do it it’s going to save a lot of your durability as well now the reason why this is a very very good method is because in um this version deepside takes a long time to mine so if you’re mining two

Blocks at a time you clearly know that it’s going to use your durability a lot faster and there we have we found it but the only problem here is i’d have to get the water again and do it again so what i used to do prior to this update is use oceans

To find diamonds ocean ravines used to be perfect you only had to deal with drowns and you had water breathing it was a really advanced method it still works somewhat the same way so let me show you now you will get these giant holes in the ocean um ravines aren’t

Really a thing so any anymore in the ocean and these go all the way down to like really really low levels found some glow squid down here if you’re lucky enough you’re gonna find um diamonds now remember like i said water is is classed as a block which is why diamonds can

Still spawn down here we got unlucky with this one but i’m gonna keep going until we find one so these are like the deep caverns you’re looking for now this might take you a little bit of time to do right but uh it’s a fun method to do it

Found there you go diamonds this one has two has one two three four five five diamonds and again because we’re in water they’re gonna spawn like regular diamonds and i’m only at level negative eight here so it might be a little bit tedious to do but you will find the diamonds down here

And it’s one of my favorite methods to use just because you don’t got to deal with all the mobs you have to deal with drowns and that’s pretty much it so yeah it took me quite some time to put today’s video together after doing a bunch of research

And testing myself if you made it to the end of today’s video just let me know in the comments section but more importantly i hope this helps you out go and test it for yourself and let me know your outcomes in the comments section so other people who are watching this video

Don’t have to waste their time and they can see that it actually works have a great day and i’ll see you in the next video goodbye You
