Since diamonds are such a rare commodity, and in real life it is possible to make diamonds, albeit very little, I thought of a similar method in Minecraft.
Top down view:
Set off the TNT all at once, and for every 64 pieces of coal in the chest, you will receive 1 diamond.
64 coal for 1 diamond, might seem like a lot, but I believe it should still be hard to get, but just a little easier. This is inspired by an actual method of creating diamonds.
I honestly think you shouldn't be able to make diamond. It's easy enough to get diamond. It might end up being harder to get a lantern then 1 tiny diamond.
In other words, we need some way to craft lanterns, instead of just finding them... o wait...

I was once mining out some iron, and the lava
fell in me.
But I lost 120 pounds in 4 seconds thanks to Lava!

idea of producing diamonds is great, BUT how about :
u make small hole, bring bucket of lava to it, and simply drop there, lets say 10 coal, after few days we got 1 diamond!
Because then diamonds would be exactly worth nothing.
Not sure about the TNT method ive never actually gone out to kill creepers to get the gunpowder but i dont think that this is too cheap for a diamond. Looks like a lot of hard work for a single one of those stupid things.
My thought was that every 64 count stack would become a diamond. So 6 TNT to make 27 stacks of coal a diamond. So a full chest could put out 27 diamonds for 6 TNT & 1728 pieces of Coal. Still hard & Rare, but a use for all of the extra coal.
My idea for creating diamonds was that you need to completely surround a coal ORE block with lava spring blocks on all 6 sides and then let it sit for a full day cycle. This means that you have to hold off from mining a coal ore, and then you need to find and transport 6 buckets of lava, carefully place them around the coal Ore block without dying when the lava pours on you, and then wait patiently before removing all the lava blocks again, and mining the newly created diamond Ore.

I like the idea of using lava to make diamonds. How about 1 bucket of lava as fuel in a furnace to turn a stack of 64 coal into one diamond. If I remember correctly, 1 bucket = 100 smelts @ 10secs ea. so 1,000 (Roughly 16 min) secs = 1 diamond.
Uhhhh those are 1 meter squared solid blocks of minecraft dynamite. I dont think it would make diamonds just blow all of your **** up. Plus coal needs to be pressurized to make a diamond not to get blown up. You should be able to make diamonds at certain pressures however. If a chest with a stack of coal in it is placed as low as possible and buried from bedrock to sky limit (with no caves in the way) it should work
Coal is made from carbon.
Diamonds are pure carbon crystals.
With enough heat and pressure ( ) coal could become a diamond.
However, to make this work more easily:
=
Then, to make the diamond:
(CRAFT)
= Coal Smelt
Throw the Coal Smelt in a Furnace, place a Coal, then RUN. The Furnace will explode with the force of a TNT block.
Among the wreckage will be 1-3 Diamonds.
COST:
12
40 = 1-3
6
32
You lose 8 Cobblestone to the furnace (which explodes), and 4 to the Coal Ore recipe.
40 Gunpowder and 32 Sand go into the TNT.
You lose 5 Coal to the Coal Ore recipe, and 1 to the Furnace, which triggers the explosion.
BTW, Coal Smelts are blocks of Coal Ore with TNT tied around them. They are stackable (up to 64) and are Items.

I'll add the dramatic conclusion you removed so nubs know what actually happens. The diamonds made in this process are not the typical diamonds in which we picture them. They're straight up mini black poop diamonds that's only use is industrial .
For a whole freakin BARREL of graphite they exploded, they got some fine synthetic diamond NANOCRYSTALS lol. The diamond DUST you get is 5nm sized crystals, which are used in industrial polishing applications. If anything, you should have to REALLY load the chest with coal, not just 1 full slot. After that, there should be a new item ie. Diamond Dust that you should have to take and make into a diamond for your tool or w/e.

I still don't like the idea of diamond creation but at least this is better than "turn Coal into diamonds with the crafting table or coal blocks".
