Everyone, just get the EE mod. It takes a brain-melting amount of time until you get to the stage where you can get a "diamond factory", but it makes sense, seeing as they are extremely rare and powerful.
Cmon, Diamond is already kinda renewable, you just have to generate new terrain to "renew" the supplies. The world might technically end some day, but how many billion diamond blocks are you going to mine until your world stops generating?
Cobblestone is renewable but you still have to "Mine" it.
Well, the point is, you have to go exploring for more. My original post addresses this and notes that it's not renewable.

Let’s play good guys against bad guys… Yes. Let’s play that. Are you ready? You’re the bad guy. And when you’re bad, you just run. That’s fine right? Well… Shall we play?
In real life there are machines that are able to create diamonds with heat and pressure but even then they are not renewable because they need a diamond "seed" to start diamond growth. They also take a long time and it's about a fifty fifty shot at it even working. For all this to come together you need very high tech electronics which probobly would not be able to be created with a red dust you find deep underground so, no.

A wise man once said, that nothing really dies, it just comes back in another form, then he died. So next time you see an ant, it could be him!
I'd say being able to trade for diamond tools is already powerful enough. Seeing as how all you need to do is construct a massive wheat farm and sell to a farmer and then buy from the blacksmith. Then all the diamond you get from mining with a fortune 3 pick can just be used to make blocks and you should be happy with all the diamond you'll ever have.

It should be that you throw coal or charcoal on a block of lit netherrack and then you setup a piston to drop approx. 50 blocks of sand on top. Compressing the coal into diamonds! Because I tested it in real life and am now rich. Totally swear it works.
Iron-rare drops from zombies and regular drops from iron goloms.Gold-rare drops from zombie pigman.Diamonds-none...YET!Coal-smelt wood (logs) in the furnace to get charcoal which has the same exact qualities as coal but they can't stack.You're welcome. please make renewable.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
To be honest, you shouldn't be able to build a diamond block building. Completely defeats the purpose of diamond being rare.
And all the ways that you people list to make diamond renewable are either:
Unfeasible or make no sense for the game's coding (Dropping sand on coal with netherack what?!?)
Make diamond too common (Almost any mob can be farmed so a mob drop is op)
Or just make it so unlikely to get diamond from that method that you might as well go mine with a fortune 3 pick.
The only thing I believe should be renewable are the tools and Jeb already did that with trading.

Yea, most of the ideas proposed so far are quite rubbish. I wasn't asking how they should be renewable, but if.

JEB'S THE LEAD DEVELOPER NOW SO IT SHOULD BE JEB NOT NOTCH ok
if your talking to me I'm not paranoid
Yes, you get smoothstone when lava meets a WATER source block. You get obsidian when water meets a LAVA source block.
Cobblestone is renewable but you still have to "Mine" it.
If that was the case, I would've quoted you. Like this.
