They have silver fish so i thought why not scarabs?. For my idea i thought have having gold scarabs and occasionally a diamond scarab. I guess these scarabs could pawn on sand stone or pyramids. What do you think?
Killing a gold one = one gold ingot. Killing a diamond one = diamond.
SO overpowered , considering a desert temple has so much sandstone , you can easily get tons of diamond / gold . how about the y drop diamond / gold shards instead , and when crafted in a 2x2 grid it gives you one ingot / gem ?
Being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of. Nerds rule the world! Who invented the internet? Nerds. Who created personal computers and smart phones? Nerds. Who made every video game you've ever played and ever will? Still nerds. Who sent probes to distant planets? Nerds, nerds and more nerds! I'm a nerd and I'm proud.
We have farms that can automate gold and iron, and look what the Minecraft community has done with that. Tango Tek has made a farm capable of producing thousands of iron an hour, and I have a gold farm in my world that can make a stack of gold blocks a day. Even with this level of insanity, diamonds should never... ever... be farmable. They are the one item in the game that would make me want to stop playing if I could get them easily. No Support! However, scarabs that do not drop gold and diamonds might just be a good idea.
You would point out making gear, We have villagers for infinite diamond gear and tools, Other than that? Fancy blocks or an enchantment table, But you only make an ench table once or twice and diamond blocks don't look THAT good, That means their only use is... Probably repairing op gear? You know using 1 diamond at a time and it still costs 39 levels or so for a tiny amount of repair?
At end game, They're not THAT important, With fortune a single vein of ore could turn into all your diamond needs for a few days.
64 gold blocks is not much at all, But of what use is gold? We can dupe powered rails, At least gold looks fancy

Like the above said. Also this is extremely OP; by killing these creatures I can easily get a ton of diamonds.

Why don't you want diamond farms? We can automate everything but diamonds, Those nasty precioussssssssssss gems

However, It will be more balanced if they would drop something like a gold/diamond dust which can be crafted into the ingot itself.
(Click on one of them :P)
Yes, let's have diamond farms, because diamond ore being very rare and useful was some goofy programming accident.
