mysticat – How to find Diamonds in Minecraft (Fast)

Let’s begin with 1.17 Part One ore  generation. It’s actually extremely   similar to the prior ore generation,  with diamonds only existing below y   level 16. Less commonly known is  that diamonds actually generate   most frequently between layers 5 to 12. If you don’t know how to use coordinates  

In Minecraft, I’ll link a quick tutorial in  the description below for you to watch after. There are four main methods used for mining  diamonds, the first being caving. Caving is   simply following the naturally generated cave  systems and grabbing any diamonds you see. This  

Technique is typically only used early-game.  The next popular method is strip mining. Strip mining is going down to y level 9 and  digging long strips into the ground to cover   as much surface area as possible. When  done properly, this method will show you  

4 new blocks per block broken. Strip mining  is okay, but can be very slow and tedious. Next up is my personal favorite, crawl  mining. Crawl mining is pretty much the   same thing as strip mining, but you crawl  through a one-block-tall gap to save time.  

While this method can be a lot faster to find  diamonds, showing *5* new blocks per block broken,   it can take you a very long time to crawl back  to the entrance when you’ve finished. However,   you can easily circumvent this by setting up  a timed ender pearl stasis chamber and letting  

It teleport you back whenever the day changes. To  build this, dig down 8 blocks and place soul sand   at the bottom. Fill each block above it with  water and you should see bubbles form on top.   Place a daylight sensor next to the hole with  a trapdoor attached to it over the water.  

Now if you toss an ender pearl in,  when the daylight sensor goes off   the trapdoor will close and you will  be teleported back here automatically. The fourth method is using a tunnel  bore. Tunnel bores are cool redstone   machines that automatically mine for  you! Let me know in the comments or  

The discord if you’d like for me to make  a tutorial on building a tunnel bore.   If you’re watching this in the future, there  may be a link to one in the description already. It’s up to you to decide which  of these 4 methods works the best  

For you, because it all comes down to  preference and how much gear you have. Next let’s talk about the 1.17 Caves & Cliffs  Update Part Two ore generation. This one is   vastly different since the world now reaches down  to y level -64 instead of y level 0 like before.  

Now diamonds can generate anywhere from y level  -64 to y level 16, most commonly generating at y   level -59. This means that the best way to find  diamonds in 1.17 part two is by strip mining,  

Crawl mining, or using a tunnel bore at y  level -59. And again, the choice is up to you. If you want to get better at Minecraft, hit the  subscribe button and check out this video next!   If you made it all the way to the  end of this video, comment #outrogang
