Estimates, not X-ray. Results are high-probability dig targets with a confidence rating — never a guarantee. Verify important digs in-game.
How to mine diamond efficiently
- Mine at Y −59 (peak density, above the lava lakes).
- Space tunnels 3 blocks apart to catch every vein.
- Bring a water bucket — lava is common at this depth.
- Diamond veins come in sizes 1–12; expect 1–3 ore per exposed block cluster.
