Diamond is a very rare and valuable resource in the original Minecraft. Luckily, it’s making an appearance in the new Minecraft Legends as well, albeit with some changes.
Specifically, the gathering process for Diamond vastly differs in the game.
Unlike in Minecraft where you have to go down a certain depth to look for a Diamond block before you can mine it, Minecraft Legends’ approach is quite different.
In this guide, we’ll show you how you can gather diamonds in the game.
How to Find and Mine Diamonds in Minecraft Legends
In Minecraft Legends, you no longer have to head deep into the ground to get a chance of finding diamond.
Instead, you will be able to find it on the surface as with most resources. Besides, you can even order your Gather Allay to pick it up for you.
Still, the diamond remains a rare resource, so you won’t be able to find it just about anywhere. To increase your chances of gathering diamonds, you need to head to certain areas.
Potential Diamond Locations
One of the first places you want to check is the Tundra biome which is a diamond-rich area. In fact, you’ll be able to farm a few chunks of diamonds per vein – or even more if you’re lucky.
You can find some diamond veins on the base of the hills. However, in some cases, you might only be able to find just a tiny bit of diamond in that area.
If that’s the case, a second potential location you want to check is the Jagged Peaks biome. It’s also another diamond-rich biome that you can find on the map.
However, adventuring there is a bit challenging as you’ll have to scale several mountains before you can find some diamond veins.
That said, Minecraft Legends is also procedurally generated similar to its predecessors, so you might find the said biomes to only offer a tiny amount of diamond.
Maybe you’ll get lucky in your next playthrough if that’s the case.
