This mod adds a block called a coal compressor, which converts your coal to diamonds! Once crafted, you can place the coal compressor down and add a stack of coal to it. Lava is also required for fuel, and each bucket lasts 40 seconds. Each diamond requires a full stack of coal to pressurize into diamonds, and the process takes a total of 2 minutes. Don't break this block while pressure is built up, or it will release it all in an explosion!

Really? I thought 64 coal was quite enough, I mean a stack of blocks of coal would mean you have to mine 576 coal! Another alternative might be to increase the time required a little bit? As for the heat source, I wouldn't hesitate to add that, thanks!

Thanks for the input!
So far, it only works for coal, but that can easily be changed
For the lava bucket, I was actually planning to add a heat source, so lava would work nicely!
For the hopper thing, I haven't yet enabled hoppers to work on it, but I will definitely do that so you don't have to keep refilling it. Also, you don't have to put in the whole stack at once, it eats each piece one by one.
A suggestion, sorry if it's too much, but putting lava beside the machine like mekanism's heat generator will be nice Instead of adding a slot for lava buckets in the gui

Actually if I did that then it would be a little to easy again because you would never have to replace the lava. Maybe if you had to put it over a pool of lava or something and it would slowly suck it up?
I like the idea of being over lava, and it slowly sucks it up as you use it. And also maybe make it so it has to be under a certain level to work (like 25- or something) Just adds that little bit that takes a bit of extra work for nearly unlimited diamonds.
Just added the current version to my LAN world and will be sure to make full use of it once i stockpile some coal / lava buckets.

I have been considering adding that so, I might just do it. I know that buildcraft does this same thing, so I should be able to get it working. Btw thanks for using it :)!

Sadly, I can not update this mod to 1.8 quite yet because of the major changes in Minecraft's render engine. It might be a while before I can learn it, but I will ASAP.
V1.0 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75761837/coalcompressor-1.0.jar
Is it coal only? or does it also work with charcoal?
Can you setup some kind of hopper system to fill as it goes? Or do you need to add the full stack at once?
For Fuel maybe make it require a full bucket or two of lava? not a huge amount of fuel but it adds just a little bit more to the process.
Also maybe add in a second input for it to be 2 full stacks? (possibly a config option?)
Will be sure to keep an eye on this mod and will most likely add it into my personal modpack
