Diamond

The Diamond is the strongest and second rarest material found in the game, the first being Emeralds.

Natural generation
village blacksmith chests and stronghold slab altar chests may contain diamonds in stacks of 1 to 3. Abandoned mineshaft chests may contain diamonds in stacks of 1 to 2.

Mining
Diamond ore mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe will drop a single diamond. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it can drop an extra diamond per level of fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with silk touch, it will drop itself rather than a diamond.

 * Diamond Hoes are not often used as they are considered by some to be useless, as they do not hoe things much faster than lower-tier tools such as gold or wood.
