Block of Diamond

Blocks

Block of Diamond — block.

Obtaining

A diamond block is crafted from nine diamonds and can be broken back into nine diamonds. It requires an iron pickaxe or better to drop itself. Rare generated rewards include woodland-mansion treasure rooms and trial-chamber reward tables, so the block can be found as well as manufactured.

Minimum tool	Iron pickaxe
Trial-chamber reward	1 block, weight 1 in the validated table

Breaking

The block has a hardness of 5 and a metal sound family. A pickaxe is required for the block to drop; an iron pickaxe or a stronger tier is the first valid tool gate. Without the correct tool, breaking does not produce the stored diamonds.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

Diamond blocks compactly store diamonds and provide a bright, durable building material. They are valid beacon-base blocks: a beacon starts on a 3×3 layer, and optional 5×5, 7×7, and 9×9 layers extend the pyramid. A pyramid can mix diamond blocks with iron, gold, and emerald blocks.

Data: Usage

Rendering	Isometric preview
Storage	9 diamonds per block
Beacon base	`minecraft:beacon_base_blocks`
Minimum pyramid	3×3 layer
Full pyramid	3×3, 5×5, 7×7, and 9×9 layers

Generated loot

Diamond blocks are rare structure loot rather than a common mining drop. The local Java tables include the block in the rare ominous trial-chamber reward pool; woodland-mansion chests provide the separate structure path for the same block family.

Data: Generated loot
Ominous trial chamber	1 diamond block; unweighted entry in reward_ominous_rare

Block loot	Survives explosion condition

Sounds

Placement, breaking, and walking use the metal sound family. The block has no custom ambient sound and does not emit light.

History

Diamond blocks were present in the early game as a compact mineral store. The modern recipe remains nine diamonds, while later terrain and structure updates added mansion rooms and trial-chamber reward paths as additional ways to encounter one.
