Sorry If this has been posted before but I've never read it. I tried searching and no luck.....

So there I was having the worst mining expedition ever... I complain about finally finding Diamonds... Where were they!? Edge of the world... The dreaded un-mineable Diamond Block sitting there laughing at me, mocking me....

So I tell the guys on the server I'm heading up to get some TNT and at least get the Xp out of it because you can blow it up....

So my friend Feeqs just randomly says "I wonder if you can pull those out with STICKY PISTONS?"
So I say "I might as well try it I'm blowing it up anyways".... went up top got my TNT, lever a couple redstone dust and a Sticky Piston......

Guess What!?!?! It freaking works...Positioned the sticky piston at the diamond and [Insert Sucking Sound FX]
Out it came! It became mineable!... I tried 2 layers into the un-mineable wall and the piston won't move but the first visible layer of the un-mineable wall can be pulled by a sticky piston and will become mine-able...

Go! Go retrieve all those ******* diamonds that have sat there believing they are safe.. NO MORE!!!

Well that's great to know. I'll keep that in mind if I ever come across something like that!

Cool find

Edit: Just confirmed this, it works. +1 for you sir.

Nice find! Wonder if that is an Easter egg? 1 up to you!

feeqs said he's gonna replace them with lapis for ya :-D

Crikey, I found some of those just the other day... and was so frustrated I covered them over in stone so they wouldn't taunt me... now, naturally, I can't remember where they were. +1 for you, -1 for me (lol).

Glad you guys found this useful!.. Would of hated if the topic got moved to some obscure sub forum..

You are awesome. I've never done much at the end of the world (only seen coal), but if I go caving near the edge, I'll bring some redstone in case.
