About Block of Diamond

The Block of Diamond is a solid storage block made from nine diamonds. Players mostly use it to compress diamond storage, as a beacon base, or as a decorative block. It gives off no light and does not interact with redstone.

If you place one, you need an iron pickaxe or better to mine it back up. A full pyramid of these blocks powers a beacon just like iron, gold, emerald, or netherite blocks do.

How to get Block of Diamond

You normally get a Block of Diamond by crafting it from nine diamonds. You can also craft it back into nine diamonds, so it doubles as compact storage.

One can rarely be found already placed in a woodland mansion's lava room, but crafting is the practical route.
