Just tried this mod tonight, and it was a lot of fun. I don't think it's too overpowered. At a cost of 11 diamonds, it's definitely something you won't build until you've put in enough mining time to have some diamonds to spare.
Because, not only will this help you in finding diamonds, it will compel you to try and find all the diamonds, no matter how dangerous the situation. In trying out this mod, I found myself mining under a lava pool to try and extract a few additional blocks of diamonds. Dodging lava flows with just my bucket of water. Died twice and had to run back down to the mine before i realized that to get the last block, I was going to have to mine down through the obsidian, and I didn't have a diamond pickaxe.

Thats a possibility, but a maybe. I haven't looked at how to get mods working with SMP, but I would like to check that out. So it's more of a matter of when I get to it.
Who else would make use of this on their servers? If enough people will use it, I'll try to work on it sooner rather than later.
So this was easier than I thought. I have posted a new version of the client, and a first version for SMP. The new version is 1.1.1, but there is no change between this version, and 1.1.0, except the version number. However, users will need to update their Diamond Meter to 1.1.1 to be able to connect to a server with this version on it.
Congrats and great job. Yeah SMP support isn't all that hard, just a few class name changes and a few template changes Props to you and thanks for the diamonds
Just Finished Dokucraft Support for your mod High Version

I really like what you've got there! Only thing I noticed is that its sort of hard to see it transition between the states unless you're looking right at it. Will it be included in the DokuCraft Texture pack? I will also put it on the main post.

Yes, it would be possible, maybe when I get time I'll make it use a config file that you can set yourself.
Check the latest version that I posted
