Hi. This is my diamond finding tip. Easy but it does what it says, up to 64 diamonds per 30 minutes. So here is the guide:
1. Get a iron pickaxe
2. Dig down in a stair until you find bedrock
3. Go 8 steps up
4. Dig at this level a tunnel.
5. If you have a good seed, you get a 64/30 result.
A. full stack in 30min? not with this.
B. more deltais pl0x?
c dont ask for rep. its not nice. only ask for it if you have a very large guide(like 40+ pages), or made a mod
A. I did.
B. This is a small tip and not a huge thing.
C. How should I make it better if nobody replys?
These are not good tips; vague at best. Rather than say go to bedrock and then eight steps up I would suggest you recommend the player begin their search at layer 10. Layer 10, around the community, is known as the diamond layer. Usually it sits below the lava layer. Then I would explain how to shaft mine in squares to fully expose the possible ores.
come on people he is making a diamond guide how many other people do that? And if you do not find diamonds in the first tunnel dig another tunnel in that tunnel or dig the other way
That is pretty much the way I mine and using the branch mining system. I'll be honest, I think a full stack in 30 minutes is way beyond optimistic. It's certainly not an average you could come close to counting on. I would say a full stack in 1 hour is pretty optimistic but more achievable.
I'm happy if I get about half a stack in 1 hour. But I also do some things that reduce my efficiency, like mine other ores and fill my mined out holes back in with cobble. If I just mined and ignored all other ores except diamond, I would probably gather them quite a bit faster.
every one stop bing negtive yes this is a siem know trigk and is luck based yes but if you dount have a thnx or a real cooment thats help full or somthing funny dount post you trooles
Best means for diamond mining is caving. Find a cave at a low level, and search throughout it. Besides caving, any mining technique will do. Either way, its still a timely operation till you get a nice stack of diamonds.
With a pickax with Fortune enchantment speeds the process up a lot.
not sure what you guys are smoking, but I bust my ass and if I got a full diamond stack after 4-5 hours I'd be happy. i'm lucky if I get 10-20 diamonds after an hour or so.

Silly.
No, layer 12 is the best layer for diamonds. Well really it's 10-12, but 12 is better because you are above lava.
Ok, so the guy is still a noob. Everyone starts somewhere. He had a string of luck, but just wanted to help people out. Not everyone scours every single post on here to make sure no one knows what they're saying. The full stack in 30 minutes is a little unlikely without a major fortune enchantment, but at least he didn't say," hey guys...dig with a pick axe and you'll get diamonds" haha he did at least have some tips on approx layers to dig. To someone new this would have been a great tip.

Thanks. This comment is not so negative like some others here...

PSSH you can't do it

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

That's exactly the point he's trying to make. Last I checked level 12 was under level 16.
Yes! Level 16 is not so good as level 12. And exactly this I want to say. Thanks for helping to describe this to me, ivybridge.
Doesn't matter, the tips are poor and basically read; "I hope you're as lucky as I was on my seed that I am not sharing with you at all ever."

Not to be offensive but, it's not too easy to find diamond like this.
