I can find diamonds but it's super hard what is the best level to find diamonds???????

i think its 16, dont quote me tho...

13, and 10 is my recommendation. :smile.gif:

Hope this helped!

16 to 1 :biggrin.gif:

Start your quest for diamonds on layer 12 and dig out layer 13 as you go.

I read/heard somewhere that 1/17 is good.

8 is the best

I find them at like 8

its around 12 to 1.

I like level 12, because veins are at least 2 blocks in any direction, and diamond starts at 16. So if I mine at level 12, I can see veins above me at levels 14 and 13, veins at 13 & 12, 12 & 11, 11& 10, 10 & 9 (because 12 is where your head is, so the floor of my mineshaft is y: 10)

Make a mine at Y:12.6

Its the best level to find diamonds :]

Technical at 16 and lower you can find diamonds, but in my experience I have had the most luck with levels 12 to 14.

I think layer 10 has the highest rates, but then you have to deal with lava more often. I generally dig at layer 12 when I want diamonds.

For me, 13 or 8 because you may find diamonds around you. Not like the lowest layer and the layer 17 where diamonds are found you cant find diamonds below or above you...

personally i find 11 to be the best

Diamond spawn at Layer 16 or lower. Get a damn xray mod!

The best layer to dig for diamonds is at level y=10 as DuctTapeTardis has stated. This has been confirmed by someone who looked at it in MCedit. So I would recommend digging there.

I think about from bedrock to LvL-16 is where i find them
and try and use the "Branch Mining Tactic"
And if u don't know what that is, Try YouTubing it or Googling it...
Hope this helped :)And for everyone saying get xray. I think he wants to know where to find diamonds so he can do it legit...

Level 10. Might be a lot of lava though. :\

I mine on 12, for these reasons. there are diamonds on all sides, lava doesn't flow into me, and its away from bedrock
