OMGcraft – Minecraft Tips & Tutorials! – New 1.17 Fast Diamond Finding Hack! (Java Minecraft)

Everybody loves diamonds in Minecraft it is really the highest tier obviously ignoring netherright uh because netherride is like an addition to Diamond I mean let’s be honest you need diamond stuff before you get netherrite so finding more diamonds is always good in Minecraft here are two different

Techniques that you may not know about maybe maybe you do on how to find diamonds in a different way than normal okay this isn’t just like oh go to Y level 12 or 14 no totally different method uh and two different methods and it’s really really interesting so let’s

Jump into it starting out with the method that doesn’t work as well as the other method but it is definitely a method this one you do need either a swamp biome or a river biome this is found by Matthew Bolin and and uh it only works in Java Edition and I’m going

To give you the instructions for 1.17. so sorry those of you who are on Bedrock Edition this video is just not for you so in this method we are going to be looking for clay in the swamp biome or in a river biome and you want it to look

Symmetrical so you can find the center really easily so that symmetrical clay right there and I have these blocks on top but as you can see that is a perfect sort of circle right there and from the middle you’re going to face South so hit F3 make sure you’re facing south and

Then dig three away from the middle so that means that there’s two blocks of space and then the third one is your hole and just dig straight down and with this one we went through the Bedrock but there it is we have Diamond this works

For me about 50 of the time so I did that in this swamp biome unfortunately the swamp biome isn’t very big but it worked every once in a while so you can see it didn’t work there it worked there over here we have two that didn’t work

On either of those and you may be thinking like well why are you missing a lot of these well if we turn on chunk borders things get a little bit weird around the chunk border so right here theoretically we should dig down right here and we should have I’m going to

Just cap that so all the water’s gone theoretically we should get some diamonds and it looks like we’re also running into an abandoned mine shaft here but I’ve found that around chunk borders oh look we did we found diamonds there we go waterfall so this uh this

One actually works right here on the chunk border so around check borders I’ve had a little bit of less success but you obviously uh that may may vary and let me see I should have some more there’s there’s one that worked there’s a green one that worked and then we just

Had another one that worked so that’s the first first method which is to find these clay uh deposits at the bottom of swamps or river biomes and then dig down just three blocks from the center of the deposit this next method is actually one that I like a lot more and the reason

That I like it a lot more is because when I am looking for diamonds I tend to not want to like just use some like really weird method I would rather just go to level 12 and start mining in a direction and I’ll I tend to find

Diamonds more often that way and this method lends itself to doing that but every time you see lapis you need to pay attention so we’re in this huge space that I have removed every block but diamond and Lapis and you’ll find out why and in just a second but all of this

Is naturally generating I have not placed a single block here I’ve only removed naturally generated blocks this method was found out by Icy wind icy winds plural plural wins um and it uses lapis as your indicator so obviously if you’ve run into diamonds like you found diamonds congratulations you

Don’t need a weird method uh but if you run into lapis now you need to start paying attention before the earlier method you went South in this method you face North so we’re here at F3 if I look towards north of the lapis it tends to

Be that floor four blocks away one two three four you will find a deposit of diamond north of the lapis now it could be above or below so right here we have some lapis one two three four and as you can see the diamond is below this lapis

And then over here you can see the diamond is below that lapis as well so if you run into lapis move four blocks away and then you need to start looking up or down and it tends to be down because that just tends to be where

Diamond is now I have found a few exceptions to this rule it also it’s not all the time but as you can see it’s pretty freaking often like one two three four you can find the diamond just below now here yeah oh no never mind I thought

This was an exception nope one two three four there’s the diamond it’s really really far away but it’s there but like right here okay this one uh looks like we have uh we have a bust here right one two three four you wouldn’t find anything but trunk boarders do come into

Play and it looks like we are uh right here on a chunk border so if you run into a chunk border using this method you can basically start your count back at the beginning of the border so right here is the lapis obviously the borders

Right here this would be a kind of a weird one to try to figure out but the idea is that uh here let’s find a different piece of lapis here here’s one so the idea is that right here with the border so close you go one two and then

You hit the Border well then you start your count back on the other side of the Border remember you can use F3 and G to see it so starting your count here you would go one two more blocks and as you can see we do have the diamonds right

Here where they should be on the other side of the border so it’s almost like a infinite Loop here that’s when you uh that’s how you can start counting again so going back to this lapis here it happened to spawn directly on the border so if you head back to the other side

And count out one two three four there we go we have the diamonds that we were expecting and this is like super surprising how often this works I I I’m shocked now every once while it doesn’t like right here here’s one uh one two three four uh maybe you could

Consider it spawning in the middle of that chunk but we go over here we don’t have diamonds below or above so right here you would have had a dud but as you can see from like right here’s another one yeah we would have had a dud right there

Unless unless you count this as the diamonds that match up to that but maybe not and sometimes we just have diamonds just chilling out uh all alone although right now seems like we’re getting really lucky it really does seem like every piece of diamond is paired with

Lapis in some way like is that one compared to a trunk border yes yes they are inside of a chunk border so yeah that one’s it’s incredible it’s absolutely incredible now the difficult part would be how high and how low to go searching because that doesn’t seem you

Know the four blocks away in the northward direction that seems to be pretty static and pretty much the same but above and below how far above and below you have to go searching that does not seem very static that seems pretty random but if you are at a level where

You are searching for diamonds and you find a Lapis you have to absolutely have to go four blocks north look above look below check your chunk border and see if you’re on a chunk border and then go search on the other side of the chunk uh because you could potentially find tons

Of diamonds using this method but once again uh Matthew Bolin is uh the person who figured out the method with the clay and icy wins is a person who found out the method with the lapis and I am just telling as many people as I can so go
