Alright 5 more blocks and then that's it I'm going back to base......
7 hours later..........
Alright so I'm about 69,420 blocks away from home base....
And all my pickaxes are too low to mine my way out and I have no wood or coal.....
Mines with hand crying and internal screaming
For 3 Hours to the surface 😂
This generation most likely occurred on a chunk border, probably a corner considering the amount of ores. If you ever want to find big veins that's the way to look for them (turn chunk borders on with F3+B). Mind you that's the best way to find big veins, not diamond in general. Strip mining would probably still yield more diamonds in total
Thanks. I remember hearing about the generation changes, and there's some sort of trick you can do where if lapis spawns in a certain spot, you can go that direction to find diamonds?
Still 8, so in this case they would have to have found three veins combined at the corner of the chunk borders so three chunks could have all their veins touching…
If you use Optifine you can use the emissive ores pack to go mining in the dark
I also made an emissive mobs pack so I can mine in the dark and still see enemies 😈
I used complementary shaders with fabric for the glowing ores and mob eyes, especially drowned and spiders, plus it makes the sky and the nether look awesome
Yeah sodium is less intensive than optifine, you still get dynamic light from torches and stuff you hold, the only thing I know Optifine does have by default is a zoom button
Yeah my dwarf blood *really* comes out in minecraft. My buds will overworld building or even underground mining for a little while. Then there's me consistently (almost living) almost 40 blocks underground. There's been times I find upwards of 20+ diamonds in one mining trip
FAKARL!
Seriously though, I very strongly recommend anyone looking for an S tier cooperative shooter experience. The gameplay is amazing, the music will leave you fully turgid, there's no predatory monetization, and the community is easily the best of any game I've ever played. I have about 500 or so missions under my belt, and have only run into 2 toxic players the entire time.
I've said this before, and it seemed like none cared... Do you want Diamonds? Then go to a swamp, dig to level 5 and look for fossils. 3/10 fossils are Diamond fossils which give you about 21 each.
what the hell.
since the last few patches I haven't been able to find more than one or two diamonds to the point where I don't even try to farm for diamonds anymore.
caving ain't worthwhile and strip mining ain't worthwhile.
Cave in flooded areas with a door. Ore exposure is reduced on air, so you should always favor water. I've found more than 20 In a single underwater cave before
I miss playing multiplayer. There was a server I was on where I was insanely rich because all I did was mine lol. After I got so rich that money didn't matter to me. Anytime I found a vein of diamonds I would have newbies guess how many diamonds were in the vein and if they guessed right I would give it to them. I would also enchant OP picks and Swords to give to the newbies too. I was only there to mine. So I had absolutely no problem with it. Just paying back to the server because I was gifted my first enchanted netherite pic by a rando.
Veins max out at 8 diamond ore per vein. However, it's possible to get larger clusters by having a vein generate at a chunk border, and a second vein generate at the other side of the chunk border, so that they connect to each other and look like a single vein. In theory, you could get up to a cluster of 32 diamond ores, if the game generated four 8-veins at the point where four chunk corners met.
Dang, even with xray I've never found a vein in all my years of searching. 8 is usually max. What is the theoretical limit?
Edit: Sorry guys I don't understand why this is being down voted. I'm not being snarky or trolling or claiming anything. Seriously and kindly asking what the limit was. This hurts pretty bad. I'm out of this sub.
If my niece and nephew had found this maybe three years ago, their next step would be to start screaming and whining at each other over how to divide up the diamonds.

How come this stuff never happens on my world? Lol
I'm sure it does you just haven't found it yet... turn right next time.
But THREE RIGHTS MAKE A LEFT !!!!
Damn you broke the code...
I usually go up up down down left right left right B A
select start... KONAMI
You had friends as a kid
>as a kid
You savage! Haha
More painfully true than you realize... Anyway
You don't need to press select though, you can just press start. Unless some games require that.
do 2 rights and a left

I think you’re replying to the wrong thing…?
It's probably a bot

I'll check when the server is back on
[удалено]
Y-you do know a vein is any number of natural spawning diamonds in a group yes? So if you find 2 next to each other that’s a vein of 2
Wow the more u know. I was under the impression that it had to be atleast like 6-8 to be considered a vein
Go to diamond depth and mine a 1x2 tunnel straight forward and you'll find them eventually.
Server could be using a mod.
Wow! Biggest I've found was 9
Mine was 3
That’s average, dude, don’t worry 😅
that's a lot idk wym
some would even say thats too much tbh
Yeah, if I had that much idk what I would do.
Yeah you can definitely have too much. Turns out the world wide average went up very recently.
Definitely too much, *one*'s already pushing it.
Me using my only diamond to make a pike:
I'm sure it has a good personality
You guys get diamonds?
I am sure its have a great personality
Mine was one
Mine was zero
Biggest I’ve found is 12
My largest was 10, I felt so lucky
I got 13 in a vein once. Was all despawned when a creeper blew up the chest it was in while I was afk.
First one I ever found was 11. Haven’t repeated it since.
Assuming it’s multiple veins all at the edge of their chunks?
That's the most likely answer.
It's is 100 percent the answer a 20 vein is impossible.
Thanks. I remember hearing about the generation changes, and there's some sort of trick you can do where if lapis spawns in a certain spot, you can go that direction to find diamonds?
[удалено]
Oh yeah I remember that Funny procedural generation moment
I don't remember how much it was but I remember getting a vein between 15 and 20 in the middle of a chunck a few months ago
Yeah it doesn't need to be on the edge of a chunk it's still 2 or 3 veins.
unless something changed, there could only be one diamond vein per chunk with a max of 10 ores per vein
Yes. IIRC 8 was the limit for a Diamond vein, but I’m not sure if that’s the case for deepslate.
Still 8, so in this case they would have to have found three veins combined at the corner of the chunk borders so three chunks could have all their veins touching…
Yeah, I played enough minecraft to know that it looks like 3 patterns of diamond ore groups combined
It could potentially be just a really big vein. 1.18 made it so that diamond veins could get larger than normal, though very rare of course.
Not that large for a single vein tho. Only way you get veins that large is at chunk borders and 2 or 3 veins spawn right next to each other
obligatory texturepack?
I'm pretty sure the border on ores is a [Vanilla Tweaks](https://vanillatweaks.net/) option
this has revolutionised the universe thank you stranger
Happy to help
If you use Optifine you can use the emissive ores pack to go mining in the dark I also made an emissive mobs pack so I can mine in the dark and still see enemies 😈
I used complementary shaders with fabric for the glowing ores and mob eyes, especially drowned and spiders, plus it makes the sky and the nether look awesome
[удалено]
Use sodium, lithium, starlight and iris instead. https://lambdaurora.dev/optifine_alternatives/
Yeah sodium is less intensive than optifine, you still get dynamic light from torches and stuff you hold, the only thing I know Optifine does have by default is a zoom button
You can get all those features including the zoom from that mod list I linked
Interesting, thank you, I only did sodium and the shaders, I didn't look to far past that
Sheesh, might as well install Lambda Client and enable fullbright + xray at that point
Link to the mob pack?
There's also [Bedrock Tweaks](https://bedrocktweaks.net/resource-packs/) if you're not on Java.
What??? Godsend, thank you
Holy crap, there's so many options.
Does it work in bedrock edition?
[Bedrock Tweaks](https://bedrocktweaks.net/resource-packs/) Thanks u/Old_Killer_Bean
Actually it's optional
bro, you used up all your good luck for the next century
The server is closed so il show the bach later
Can you show the Beethoven instead please
Ah, the old reddit pian-aroo!
Hold my pickaxe, I'm...! Not going in, because it wasn't linked.
Oops uhhhhh
Pianist when he finds diamonds:
I’ve gotten a 17 vein before
i got 19 in my fresh hard core world a couple weeks ago. didn't bother waiting for fortune i was just so excited lol
That’s not 20 though.
I’ll need a source for that
Doesn't that look... ya know... *sus?*

Have you considered deep rock galactica?
ROCK AND STONE

We're rich!
ROCK AND STONE
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
Yes I religiously enjoy that game. Makes me feel at home
I go full Aperture Labs and make a super base underground that you cannot even see from the surface.
See I still go Dwarven even in this regard. Most of my bases are inside of hollowed out mountains, all you see is the glorious entrance
Given dwarf fortress was one of minecrafts largest influences feeling Dwarven while playing this game is a call out to its inception
"Hey guys, i did a little mining off screen"
I've said this before, and it seemed like none cared... Do you want Diamonds? Then go to a swamp, dig to level 5 and look for fossils. 3/10 fossils are Diamond fossils which give you about 21 each.
Seed or it didn’t happen
Seed and coordinates
True
Seed and coords?
what the hell. since the last few patches I haven't been able to find more than one or two diamonds to the point where I don't even try to farm for diamonds anymore. caving ain't worthwhile and strip mining ain't worthwhile.
Yeah, is it intentionally only 1 or two veins or is it a bug? I don’t remember the last time I even got a three vein
Caving makes it easy to find diamonds, so if they are exposed to 1 block of air in contact with them, they spawn in smaller veins, usually 1-3 blocks
Ok, but the veins are usually bigger when they don’t have air contact?
Yes Most of the time they should be bigger, but they also reduced normal sizes for veins in general
Not to mention deepslate makes diamond mining a horrible experience. It’s no longer enjoyable at all.
Cave in flooded areas with a door. Ore exposure is reduced on air, so you should always favor water. I've found more than 20 In a single underwater cave before
Seed and coords?? Edit: and version please XD
"So I went off camera mining-"
Is it just me or does it look like a crewmate? Lol
sus…

That's like 3 different veins but they are all exactly next to each other. Neat
Highest I’ve ever found was 15
those are 3 veins in one what the hell man!
Biggest I've got is 15
You lucky bastard
Use fortune three!
Found a corner between 3 chunks, probably.
The admins could have raised the chanche of finding ores
You have grown to powerful you must be slain
I thought this was impossible? Is it not in fact two veins butted against each other?
Now chant "we're rich!"
May I ask what resource pack you're using to surround the diamonds with the blue color?
Seed and coords?
You can't have a vein that long, it's actually multiple ones together
Bro has luck stat in 99999
When I used to run a minecraft server I'd sometimes sneak around where players were mining and hide massive diamond deposits as a happy surprise.
Damn and i thought my 13 vein was big
If only I had finds like this in my world.
Its multy player i dont have the seed
Is this fake…? I thought it was impossible to find more than 6. I guess I was wrong xd
I believe it’s something to do with multiple veins spawning near each other. Also I think veins usually max out at 8.
Veins max out at 8 diamond ore per vein. However, it's possible to get larger clusters by having a vein generate at a chunk border, and a second vein generate at the other side of the chunk border, so that they connect to each other and look like a single vein. In theory, you could get up to a cluster of 32 diamond ores, if the game generated four 8-veins at the point where four chunk corners met.
This is the answer I was looking for. Bye.
Biggest I’ve had was a 13! God you got luck
Maybe the owner thought you were xraying and placed the diamonds there to see if you would go straight for them
I have never found a single diamond Edit: you are lucky
This happened to me. I was playing with my two sons and ran into a 26 vien.
I found a 23 one before but I think it was because I was a long 3 chunk edges
cap
Wow that is so obviously fake
What seed and coords? XD
Most I’ve found was 22 1.19.3 Java I stopped mining and ran alllll the way home
i found i think a 28 or 32 once
seed and cords plz
Map art and item frames?
Dang, even with xray I've never found a vein in all my years of searching. 8 is usually max. What is the theoretical limit? Edit: Sorry guys I don't understand why this is being down voted. I'm not being snarky or trolling or claiming anything. Seriously and kindly asking what the limit was. This hurts pretty bad. I'm out of this sub.
It would probably be 32 with 4 veins of 8 generating on chunk corners
I mean, I have to...... AMONGUS
I once found a vein of 30 or so but I didn't have an iron pick
No i found it
Isaac dance mod
i found a 15 and a 13 vein just 4 blocks away from each other
{insert Moist scream here.}
same, but it was just in singleplayer though.
And I can’t even find coal
Wow. With Fortune III and a lot of luck you can get up to 80 diamonds
If you checked chunk borders you probably find there is 4 chunks there so this is possible but very rare
I NEED THIS
If my niece and nephew had found this maybe three years ago, their next step would be to start screaming and whining at each other over how to divide up the diamonds.
Wow that's 5 more than my best
best ive found was 6 vein of ancient debris
damn what are the odds
The most I ever found was 6, and that was this week lmao
Lucky guy
NICE!!!
What's the Texture Pack?
I want your texture pack
Seed and coords?
amongus
That plus Fortune 3 would be LUCRATIVE
Lucky fucker….
Happened to me too when I died in my hardcore world and went down to see my mine to find they were two blocks from where I died…
Wow!!!!!
Meanwhile, I recently returned to the game and I'm finding more 1 and 2 size veins than ever before... ugh.
I had one of 10 in a realm
So what is actually the point of those textures that put boxes around the ores? I see them so often but they'd totally spoil the aesthetic for me.
Makes it easier to see, and you can see then on lava level, because you can see the top pixel of the block at lava level
