6 is about the average size of an intact diamond vein (that is, one where none of the blocks were overwritten by something else); the average per chunk is lower mostly because a lot is lost in and below bedrock (a Superflat world with no bedrock has around a third more diamond) and it would otherwise be more common than lapis, which has a smaller vein size but a wider range:
The sizes listed in the link are pretty accurate since I restricted veins to 1 per chunk between layers 10-50, minimizing the chances of two veins overlapping and avoiding bedrock or the surface, and nothing else (other ores, caves, etc) underground. In a separate analysis I found an average of 3.7 diamond ore per chunk, higher than what the Wiki says due to changes to ore generation since they analyzed it in 1.5 (if this graph is where they got their data from); this means about 2/3 of diamond ore successfully generates.

I only made a simple post. I didn't ask about any information.

And this is a discussion forum, where people are free to post in your threads, so long as they follow the forum rules and are on-topic. Your thread is about finding 6 diamonds, and TheMasterGamer is responding with his opinion about that.
Diamonds usually actually spawn in 6-5 or 4 in a vein, it's more uncommon for them to be higher, like 8 or 10, 10 is really rare, and if you get more then 10, this means 2 diamond veins spawned next to each other, that is even more rare..
I've actually seen a vein of diamond of 8, 9 or 10? I don't remember, but it was somewhere around those numbers. and may be the only time I ever will. I was exploring a abandoned mineshaft at Y - 11 and I found this crazy vein of diamonds, also, that mineshaft was FULL of diamonds, probably because it was huge and they get rid of big spaces, I found like 3/5 diamond veins in it. it was absolutely insane...
Recently i found six diamonds in 1 vein. I never knew that was possible.
Oh yeah, up to 10.
A 2X2X2 cube with an extra diamond on the bottom and an extra on top in opposite corners.
The screenshot is of levels 4-16 with the stone command_blocked away and glowstone added for lighting.
Just testing.
Yes it is possible , the maximum you can get is 8/10 diamonds in one vein .
Have a good day
Unbeliavable ...

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

Diamonds ftw.
It's quite possible. The biggest vein I've ever encountered had a shocking eight diamonds!
I post pretty rarely nowadays. Gosh, I wish this place weren't so... empty...
