Perh aps the easiest way to
fi nd diamonds(or at least
diamond ore) is to explore large
cave systems underground.
Obviously, you might stumble
across diamond ore just
embedded in the walls or fl oor,
but what you’re ACTUALLY

That’s because lava lakes
gener ate at the same levels
as diamond ore. Once you’ve
found a lake, start carving out
the border arou nd it. You’re
almost guaran teed to fi nd some

with slabs aroundthe roof and some lava
built in. De sert temple chests are found
in the pit under the main fl oor. The only
danger comes from the TNT trigger below
