Diamond.

When's was the most successful way of finding diamonds please answer everyone.

It's technical random spawn from y:1 to y:16 but personally i tend to find them mostly at y:12   (Personal opinion)

[xChaosxRipperx]

theres supposed to be a formula that figures pout which Y level is the best. People say 11 but from my personal use i think its 12.

i preffer lvl 11, just because lava is usually also at 11 so it wont poor down on you

[micahdg]

I prefer 12 so I'll always (well, usually) be just above lava.

[DiamondHero8]

i thought this was for me lol i prefer y 11

[MrChris13]

I see I have a different technique then everyone I go down to Y:5 and go straight

[Mallard03]

This is a strategy for finding diamonds. Go to 11 then you can find diamonds there.

[1869_Flame]

my technique is to be at lvl 11.
than make lines 2 high, and straight forward.
in between the lines i leave 3 blocks (so i make a line each 4th). as diamond nodes are mostly 2 in width, you cant miss them this way
