Trivia[]
- Diamonds are one of the rarest Items in Minecraft.
- Diamond Hoes are not often used as they are considered by some to be useless, as they do not hoe things faster than lower-tier tools such as Gold or Wood.
- Diamond Hoes, however, have the highest durability. It is often paired with Unbreaking for a reliable farming tool.
- Enchanting an Iron or Diamond Pickaxe with the Fortune enchantment is an efficient way to get many Diamonds, as each level of the enchantment increases the maximum drop count.
- It is a false belief that Diamonds can only be found near Lava, as there is nothing in the code to suggest so.
- Diamond tools are the only ones that are non-renewable.
- Before Update 0.12.1, Diamonds could be used to craft a Nether Reactor Core.
- Contrary to popular belief, Diamond Tools are not the fastest in the game. Gold Tools are slightly faster than Diamond Tools.
- For example, it takes 0.3 seconds to mine Stone with a Diamond Pickaxe while it takes a Golden Pickaxe 0.2 seconds.
