Can you find diamond on peaceful

Besides following existing caves, players can just dig a vertical shaft, quarry, or staircase down to the diamond-containing layers but remember the cardinal rule: don't dig straight down. Most players prefer level 11 because that puts the "lava flood" at foot level. Deeper tunnels are likely to expose lava at head level or from above, but at level 11, lava is likely to be exposed in the floor.

This may block further progress, but probably won't flood down the tunnel, and a player cannot fall down a pit into the lava. For Bedrock edition, level 11 also has the biggest chance of finding diamonds.

Once at the chosen level, begin branch mining or mining long, level hallways two blocks high and one block wide. Sooner or later often later , mining exposes a diamond ore blob. Sometimes, the player can find two or more diamond blobs intersecting together while branch mining. After finding the first diamonds and graduating to enchanting, a player should make and carry one Fortune III pickaxe to multiply the diamonds mined in the future.

At this point, enchanting the player's new diamond pickaxe with Fortune seems obvious; however, there is a better way: Enchant the diamond pickaxe with Silk Touch , and keep a separate Fortune III pickaxe which can be left home instead of risked on trips for valuable ores. If possible, add Mending to the Fortune pickaxe. It's likely for a mine to intersect several caves.

Since any cave located while mining for diamonds is naturally at the right level for diamonds, it's a good idea to explore and light the cave before proceeding with the mine. A cave is likely to have hostile mobs inside. Although diamonds themselves are nonrenewable, diamond tools and armor can be renewably obtained via villager trading. The following diamond items can be renewably obtained via villager trading:. This video shows how to find diamonds mathematically by looking for patches of similarly generated, but visible things.

Upon finding a block or blob of diamond ore, a player must mine it to get the diamond it contains. Before doing this, though, make sure the area is safe: after all, players don't want to lose any diamonds. First, if the player has located the diamond ore by caving, then the player should light up or block off any nearby dark areas to avoid getting blown up or shot while attempting to mine.

Flood any lava nearby, turning it into obsidian then go back and light up any areas which are now dark. Next, dig away all blocks touching the blob, both to expose the whole blob and to make sure the diamonds don't drop into lava and burn. Any lava found should be flooded with water. If this results in obsidian next to the diamonds that cannot be mined away, the area should be flooded and then the diamonds can be mined, to quench any newly-exposed lava while mining.

Now that it's safe to mine, use an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe to break the blocks. The blocks drop one gem each, unless mined with a pickaxe enchanted with the Fortune enchantment. Fortune III, the highest level, causes as many as four diamonds to drop, and on average doubles the yield of a diamond blob.

Remember to dig around diamond blobs, as diamonds can form diagonally in the same blob. If a player does not have a Fortune pickaxe but has a Silk Touch pickaxe , then the player can mine the block using a Silk Touch pickaxe to obtain the diamond ore. The diamond ore can then be stored elsewhere until obtaining a Fortune pickaxe to mine the diamond ore with a higher yield.

Once in possession of diamonds, it's best to proceed directly to a safe place to stash them in a chest; this could be a home base or a secure mining outpost. Be careful to make the chest secure from attacks by creepers, or the precious new-found wealth could go up in smoke.

Diamonds can be used to make shovels , pickaxes , axes , and hoes that work almost as fast as gold and last significantly longer than almost any other tool. Most players use their first three diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe, the only tool in the game that can harvest obsidian blocks, except for the extremely late-game netherite pickaxe. Although a diamond hoe lasts longer than any other hoe, with the exception of a netherite hoe , it grants no speed boost and is generally considered a waste of diamonds, as any hoe is sufficient to till farmland.

Hoes are more useful in the 1. They can also receive enchantments from the enchanting table , including Efficiency , Unbreaking , Silk Touch , and Fortune. So, the player might want to spend some diamonds on a diamond hoe or purchase one from a toolsmith. Diamond swords deal the second most damage of any sword - seven points - although both iron and diamond swords kill most enemies with 3 hits, making iron swords preferable to diamond swords which are not enchanted as they are cheaper and about just as useful.

Diamond armor protects the wearer better than any other armor aside from netherite. Diamond armor and swords both have the advantage of greater durability than armor and swords of any other material aside from netherite. A full set of diamond armor requires 24 diamonds, and 9 diamonds more to make a full set of tools, which contains a pickaxe , a sword , an axe and a shovel. After making a diamond pickaxe, it is usual to mine some obsidian and use the next two diamonds for an enchanting table.

This allows players to convert experience into valuable enchantments to improve weapons, armor, and tools. Diamonds are also required to make jukeboxes , and can be used in decorative diamond blocks , though players would only want to make diamond blocks really late-game. Also, diamond can be used to trade with villagers. One emerald can be obtained from one diamond, although this is a waste, unless a player has created a good trading farm and has lots of diamonds.

Once players have realized how useful their first diamonds are, they probably want more. To this end, they need to continue mining. If they want to become truly diamond-rich, though, they need to do a few other things first. The player should mine with the Fortune enchantment on a pickaxe, preferably level III, for the next diamond blob, to significantly improve the number of diamonds they get.

Also, this is not something they can rely on, but they can try. If they find a large diamond blob, they have an enchanting table, and are confident they can get a Fortune III, it might be worth waiting and acquiring the diamonds later or mining it with a Silk Touch pickaxe and harvesting the ore when they acquire Fortune III. If they see the hint on the table say Fortune III, immediately enchant a diamond pickaxe with it. Enchanting is somewhat complex, but here is how to bootstrap the equipment needed: Start with at least 5 diamonds.

Use the first three for a diamond pickaxe to mine obsidian. Four obsidian blocks plus the other two diamonds and one book are used to craft an enchanting table. In fact, one needs a lot of books, but one is necessary to craft the table. Actual fish aren't useful on Peaceful difficulty other than for trading to fisherman villagers , unless you want to tame a cat or feed dolphins , but fishing has a chance of giving the player an enchanted book , saddle , name tag , lily pad , bone , rotten flesh , string , leather , and more.

In addition, fishing can even give you an enchanted bow, or another fishing rod. Sugar can be obtained either by crafting with sugar cane , by killing witches , or crafting with honey bottle. Although the second option is not available on Peaceful difficulty, the first and third are. Simply put 1 sugar cane in the crafting area in your inventory or on a crafting table, and you will get 1 sugar. Put 1 honey bottle in a crafting table, in order to receive 3 sugar and an empty glass bottle.

These materials, sadly, can only be obtained as hostile monster drops. However, sometimes some of their crafting recipes may be able to be obtained by other means. Blaze rods can only be obtained by killing blazes , which is impossible on Peaceful difficulty. Unfortunately, blaze rods are essential to going to the End , because there is only a 1 in a trillion chance that an end portal will generate with all eyes of ender in it, and eyes of ender require blaze powder.

However, brewing stands , which usually need a blaze rod to craft, can be found in igloo basements and village temples, but no potions can be brewed because they require blaze powder as fuel. Even though the player may not be able to go to the End on Peaceful difficulty, there are plenty of other things available to do in the Minecraft world. This is one side of an igloo basement. The brewing stand can be seen in plain view.

A brewing stand is the only item crafted with blaze rods that can be achieved by other means than crafting. Ghast tears , which drop from ghasts , are used to make potions of Regeneration and end crystals.

Although both of these are helpful in Minecraft , neither of them could be made even if ghast tears could be obtained in some other way. This is because potions of Regeneration require blaze powder to make, and end crystals require eyes of ender , both of which can't be obtained on Peaceful difficulty because of the lack of blazes. Prismarine shards , unfortunately, can only be obtained by killing guardians or elder guardians. However, all of the crafting recipes with prismarine shards: prismarine , dark prismarine , prismarine bricks , and sea lanterns , make up entire ocean monuments , and prismarine and sea lantern also generate in underwater ruins.

If you are planning on getting a sea lantern, make sure you mine it with a Silk Touch pickaxe , because otherwise, it will drop only prismarine crystals. Shulker shells can be used to make a shulker box , which, although it isn't necessary for anything in Minecraft , can be very helpful at times. There is a very, very small chance that the End will be available on a Minecraft world from an already-finished end portal frame in a stronghold, making shulkers accessible see Ender Dragon.

Drowned can spawn holding trident which sometimes drops when they get killed, which can be used as both a melee and a ranged weapon. Unfortunately, drowned don't spawn on peaceful and they are the only way to obtain tridents.

Wither skeletons , when killed, rarely drop a wither skeleton skull , which can be used to make the wither boss. Unfortunately, wither skeletons don't spawn on Peaceful, and they are the only way to obtain wither skeleton skulls.

The only use of wither skeleton skulls is to create the wither the Wither cannot spawn in peaceful anyway so there would be no point , or as a helmet. The wither drops a nether star , which can be crafted into a beacon.

This means that beacons are one of the items that cannot be obtained on Peaceful difficulty. However, conduits , a similar block, are obtainable and constructive on Peaceful. A conduit requires a heart of the sea from buried treasure and 8 nautilus shells from fishing or bought from wandering traders, as well as prismarine block variants or sea lanterns to active it.

However, none of them, with the exception of the llama , can inflict any damage on the player. Piglins might also accidentally attack players when a piglin is about to shoot at a hoglin and the player blocks its way. Bees are the only arthropod mobs that don't despawn in peaceful. Bees only drop experience when killed, so it's better to farm them to produce honeycombs or honey bottles.

These items can be used as food honey bottles also remove poison , to craft honeycomb blocks , sugar, honey blocks a sticky block similar to slime block but different , or to craft beehives.

The ender dragon is the boss mob of the End dimension. It will drop tons of experience and a dragon egg upon death. Dragon eggs cannot be used to craft anything, but they serve as a trophy, showing that the ender dragon has been defeated.

The End cannot be reached in Peaceful difficulty since eyes of ender require blaze powder to craft, which is unobtainable. Eyes of ender were formerly obtainable via villager trading, but now it is impossible.

However, if one is super lucky, one in a trillion they can find a stronghold with all end portal frames already filled; this way, they can access the End in Peaceful. When you enter the End, the ender dragon will spawn. It cannot do damage to you but it will still knock you back, so the only things that are dangerous are that the dragon may push you into the void, or inflict falling damage when you are destroying end crystals. Apart from that, the fight should be easy. You can also use the end gateway portal and you will be able to access the End as much as you want.

However, end crystals cannot be obtained in Peaceful, because ghast tears are unobtainable, so you cannot respawn the dragon. Evokers live in woodland mansions, which are very rare. Due to their ability to summon vexes and their fang attack, they are very dangerous in Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties. However, they cannot deal any damage if the player is on Peaceful difficulty although the player may still incidentally receive damage from an evoker fang if an evoker is trying to attack a villager.

Evokers drop very rare items upon death: 0—1 emeralds , and even more useful, a totem of undying. If the player dies while holding a totem of undying, that player will not die, but instead, have half a heart, and quickly regenerate to full health.

Hoglins naturally spawn in the Nether, specifically in crimson forests on all difficulties. They become passive in peaceful mode and won't attack the player. They drop raw porkchops and leather upon death, which can be used as a source of leather, though killing cows is a much easier alternative. Llamas are technically tamable mobs, but they are also neutral mobs, as they will spit at the player, dealing half of a heart of damage, if attacked by the player.

They are the only mob in the game that will do damage to the player on Peaceful difficulty. However, this can easily be avoided, as llamas only drop leather upon death, which are also a drop from both cows and horses.

Llamas can be equipped with a chest for storage, and they can be equipped with a carpet for decoration. Llamas will only spawn in savanna and mountains biomes. Trader llamas also spawn anywhere with wandering traders, even underground or in mushroom fields biomes. Piglins naturally spawn in the Nether, specifically in crimson forest and nether wastes in all difficulties. They become passive in peaceful mode and won't attack the player, though they'll still hunt hoglins occasionally thus, they may accidentally hit the player if they use a crossbow to hunt hoglins.

While piglins drop nothing upon death, they can be bartered with, which can be used to obtain several normally unobtainable things in peaceful or in the nether such as fire resistance potions, and water bottles. Polar bears are neutral mobs that spawn on Peaceful difficulty. However, polar bears will not attack the player on Peaceful. Polar bears drop raw cod and raw salmon when killed, as well as experience. These can be nice if you happen to have nearby snow biome , but otherwise, you can obtain fish by fishing , and experience by killing nearly any type of fish mob.

Shulkers spawn in the End on all difficulties, but will not inflict damage on Peaceful difficulty. Shulkers will drop shulker shells upon death, which can be very useful because of the fact that they can be made into shulker boxes. However, like evokers , they do not attack players when on Peaceful difficulty, but they will still be hostile towards villagers , just like they are on other difficulties. Vindicators have a high chance of dropping an emerald upon death, and they also have a lesser chance of dropping their iron axe which can be enchanted.

Wolves usually just ignore the player, unless attacked, in which they will become hostile towards whoever attacked them. An ore vein will have between 3 — 8 diamond ore in it. Emerald OreEmerald Ore is the rarest ore to date in Minecraft, 30 times more so than diamond ore. It almost always spawns in only one-block veins, at y. DesertsDeserts make up the hottest biome, but can also get cold temperatures in winter. Modified Jungle Edge is the rarest biome in the game and usually generates only when Modified Jungle biomes meet Swamp Hills biomes.

Diamond can be found anywhere beneath layer 16, but is most common in layers Most players find it through caving or mining. The player needs an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe to mine diamonds and any gold, emerald, or redstone they find, as well. If players combine this new wonder material with their armour, it will have a higher toughness and durability than diamond!

Yes, tougher than diamond! It also has knockback resistance, meaning players will barely move if they are hit with arrows. Any weapons made with Netherite will also do more damage than diamonds. If a player is having trouble finding diamonds, make a strip mine at level 10, and it will cover layers 9 through
