There are approximately 16,887 diamonds in the Xbox edition world.
The size of the Xbox edition world is 1024x1024, therefor the world is 64 16x16 chucks across because 1024/16= 64. The number of chucks is relevant because the rarity of diamonds is usually counted in blocks/chunk. The total area in chunks of the map is 642, which is 4096. Now that we have the number of chunks, we can now calculate the number of diamonds from information provided by the wiki. In the Xbox edition, there is 4.123 blocks of diamond ore per chunk, so now we can simply multiply 4096 by 4.123 to get a grand total of 16,887. (1024/16)2 * 4.123=16,887
From this we can infer that there is approximately 1876 diamond blocks possible by mining. SSSSssssSSSSssss.... BOOM!
Great info! Also great mathematics My friend said that I duped my 80 diamonds, now I can show him this thread, either than that great job at finding how much diamonds there are

The answer is no, It can spawn 40- levels or if your super lucky, you'll find diamonds at 41+ near lava or water.
Um, Diamond only spawns in the bottom 17 layers of the map.

Yeah, it only spawns in the bottom 17. Not sure what that person up there was talking about being able to find it at layer 40.
We found 1 diamond ore last night at roughly layer 63 digging out a hill side for a pyramid... at first I thought my buddy placed it there, then I remembered no enchantments on the xbmc yet so he couldn't have had silk touch. I think this was a chunk generation error more than anything... but it is still possible ... that or Herobrine did it!!!!!
I was joking MCAngus!!!! Obviously cobble is infinite that's exactly why the math would be fun. I do appreciate the response though. Now how many Mobs are possible????? Calculate all passive and hostile mobs over the life of the game........ :0
"Unlike the PC version, each world in the Xbox 360 Edition is currently limited to 1024 by 1024 blocks. This is approximately the size of an in-game map. It is expected, but unknown if the world size will be increased along with the updates that will bring the Xbox 360 Edition up to date with the PC version."

As mentioned the outer blocks on each edge cannot be mined.
Actually, come to think of it, they said that 1024x1024 is the size of the in-game map, as in the item you hold in your hand. The world in which you can play in is smaller than that.

Nope. It is most commonly found stacked in a 12x12x12 blocks.
The world is not 1024x1024, it is 864x864.
That is what I meant to say ^. It only spawns in a few layers at the bottom.
Cobblestone generators provide an infinite source of Cobblestone.

That's not relevant because a chunk goes up to the top of the map, so 4.123 is counting the average overall in a chunk.
Mobs re-spawn, so technically they are renewable.

Look at the last thing in the list:
"Unlike the PC version, each world in the Xbox 360 Edition is currently limited to 1024 by 1024 blocks. This is approximately the size of an in-game map. It is expected, but unknown if the world size will be increased along with the updates that will bring the Xbox 360 Edition up to date with the PC version."
It makes sense for it to be 1024 because it is one of the many "magic numbers" that computers use.
Actually, come to think of it, they said that 1024x1024 is the size of the in-game map, as in the item you hold in your hand. The world in which you can play in is smaller than that.
Using that new value, we have:
864 / 16 = 54 chunks in each direction,
Or a total of 54 x 54 = 2,916 chunks.
Using the same 4.123 diamonds per chunk, we get
2,916 x 4.123 = 12,022 total diamond ore (still a formidable number)
Or about 1,335 diamond blocks.
I've found a fair number of things on the wiki that need updated for the XBox.
Then by this logic, 26 of the 1,335 Diamond Blocks in my world are in my possession!
