Dig to y=12/11 and strip mine.

Fastest: x-ray Best: 1x3 strip mine at y = 11

TNT at y = 11

I strip mine 4 X 4 areas at Y9 and I usually find diamonds that way if this helps

1x3 at y11 MINE ALL THE DIRT YOU SEE WHILE MINING

Usually if I need a few I'll swim around in underwater ravines, making sure to note that they're at diamond-level of course.

Try switching up your methods. Try caving if you have been strip mining or try strip mining if you have been caving. Stay motivated and I bet you will find some eventually. Good luck!

Y-11 strip mining is how 90% of players get Diamonds

1x1 mining tunnel using trapdoor is apaprently more efficient. You don't need to light 1x1 branches either as no mob can spawn in crawl space.

I go -56 put on some 60s music and get mining!

Caving, water caving with a magma block or water breathing potion, strip mining at y -56, end cities, nether fortresses, bastions, and buried treasures

Go down and mine

Find a deepslate cave and just walk around, you'll get plenty of diamonds below y lvl 0. The deeper the better tho. If you have access to brewing night vision helps a lot.

Strip mining has been extremely ineffective since 1.17 when they added the new caves, so I would not recommend doing that. It's also incredibly boring

The best way to get diamonds is mining. If you just need diamond tools and armour I'd say trading is better

Strip mine at level 12

Go to settings and switch your gamemode to creative. Open your inventory. Then in the search bar type “diamond“

I'll be honest I've found it easier to find them in the new cave systems.

There's this incredible brand new website called Google that would have answered your question in less than 0.0004 seconds.

C`mon people the internet isnt that difficult .. learn how to search.

Steal them from your friends

They did reduce the size and frequency of ores so this is to be expected. The cave systems are the best way. Otherwise try strip mining at -59

I usually mine at 11. I believe diamonds spawn under 12 so yeah. Also, caves are good because you dont need any digging. Just luck.

I always stair down to y=12 and strip mine. I'll mine forward for 4 Iron pickaxes and then branch off of it. I'll go to the edge of my steps and go 4 Iron pickaxes both ways and gather everything. Move down 2 blocks and do it again. I find diamonds every strip.

I think the most efficent way to find diamonds is basically opening 2x2 mines at y levels of 5, 7 and 11. Most people do it only at y level 11 because the lava spawns at y 10. But they miss many diamonds underneath them. Also there will be lava so bring a water bucket

The most effective way is to go caving at y12ish, caving because it maximises serface area you see

There are enough diamonds in caves that I don't really strip mine much anymore, but when I do I go Y -56.

They should spawn anywhere below Y level 16. They are most common around Y = -58. If you are strip mining with an iron pickaxe I would assume it will take you a bit until you find some. Probably best to cave until you get a diamond enchanted pickaxe with fortune and efficiency.

The most effective way is strip mining, but mining near large lava pools in caves may have similar luck.

You can also use a bucket to empty out lava pools. I’ve found many diamonds and emeralds by doing so at the bottom of ravines. It’s slow work, but it works
