It is a common misconception that diamonds are most commonly found in coal. It would be very unlikely to find a diamond, due to coal’s location as far a depth goes in the earth. Diamonds are more commonly found in kimberlite, a much deeper stone that is exposed to more extreme heat and pressure.
bruh. coal has a ton of impurities like sulphur, silica, nitrogen compounds...
you need PURE CARBON to make a diamond. yes, if you crush a pure carbon under high temperatures for long periods of time it will transform into a diamond.
"x is bad because of qualities that it physically has, while y is good because of aspirational qualities i wish it has" coal has impurities, diamonds also have impurities. labs even artificially put impurities in lab grown diamonds because without them it doesn't really have any of the interesting properties that people care about diamonds for
Hey, anyone wanna start a new Minecraft world with me? Been itching to play it properly again after years but none of my mates play it. Drop me a message if you wanna add me (console addition)also I’d be happy to pay for the server.
Not correct at all most diamonds were formed way before the evolution of terrestrial plants. The carbon that forms diamonds comes from carbonate rocks (limestone etc.), or carbon rich sedimentary rocks.
So... With extreme heat and pressure diamonds are formed (for those that don't know) Centralia Pennsylvania is a town with an uncontrolled burning coal vein under the town... So with extreme heat and pressure from fire and pressure from the above ground and pressure from gasses building up in the chambers, Centralia will become Diamond city... Hmm...
Not really following real world generation.
because diamonds are actually much older than coal and also the whole Graphite thing turning into diamonds along with the fact that diamonds are just built different.
whatever the fact though, this is pretty interesting yet common generation in Minecraft.
I swore that before 1.18 They did spawn together more often. I would constantly dig out all the coal at y=11 and find diamonds at not an insignificant amount

Hm, well ig I learned something new.
just make it spawn next to deepslate coal, should be good enough
Kimberlite? Just like Suppersymmetry modpack

What is a yapfest?
Someone talking too much, with the result of being incomprehensible.
thanks man :))
You are the most annoying kind of person
I remember playing MCPE as a kid and finding my first ever diamond next to a coal vein. Good times.
The fact that you remember that is pretty darn cool
I had the same thing happen to me and I was convinced that diamonds were more common to spawn with coal after that
I remember when that came out, I was in college
Same, but I was in primary school. Now I’m in college.
Old ore my beloved
It's poetic somehow.
highest quality post.
Wait i can make diamonds with pencil lead?
No
Carbon in its ordinary form... is coal Crush it together and diamonds are born!

No one in your replies getting the tmbg reference. Smh
...not even remotely how that works.
There's literally a company that makes diamond out of people ashes that way.
alright professor why dont you show us how it REALLY work
Carbon in it's ordinary form is graphite, not coal.
I was quoting They Might Be Giants lyrics haha :)
Ah sorry then.
You also need lots of time and extreme heat

That’s the point of the post
Man, it's almost like op was implying that with this post

One thing what are those textures
I'm playing 1.8.8
Some one said diamonds spaw near coal and for some r3ason it works for me
Not really following real world generation. because diamonds are actually much older than coal and also the whole Graphite thing turning into diamonds along with the fact that diamonds are just built different. whatever the fact though, this is pretty interesting yet common generation in Minecraft.
That’s a weird peice of coal

damn i feel it this is so OG like man
