I just use pickaxepro.net tbh

Go on YouTube and watch the video: how to find diamonds mathematicaly.

This technique works for 1.16.5 Go into the centre of a clay patch and go two Blocks to the positive Z direction. Then, mine down, and you will get Diamonds 85% of the time! If the clay patch is in a swamp biome, you need to do six Blocks.

I mine at y10 or y11 and do three blocks high strip mines. I carry a fortune 3 enchanted diamond pickaxe too, so when I come across diamonds I get more than just what you see (often 2-3 per block). Rumour is that if you mine in the mesa badlands or the desert the frequency of Diamonds is higher, but I can’t confirm that.

I usually just strip mine and each time I get like 8-9 diamonds

If you’re okay with kinda ruining the fun of finding diamonds:

Go to a Swamp. Dig straight down under the center block of each clay patch.

In 1.17 this has worked about 98% of the time for me.

Early diamonds are best found by hunting down treasure maps in sunken boats, the chests the maps lead you to usually have a few diamonds in them

Use those diamonds to get a fortune 2 or 3 pick and go strip mining at Y 11

I've had the most luck strip mining in y10

You could just go caving anywhere Y 15 and lower

Google branch mines

Diamonds are found around level 5 to 12 mostly but up to level 16 in some cases. I dig tunnels, two blocks apart two blocks high and go for it. Just watch out for lava.

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.

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

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

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

Mine out level around 15-11 for best results and make sure to use your fortune enchanted pickaxe for best results

Go to Y-11 for safe mining and being exposed to 3 diamond layers.

You can go to Y-10 to be exposed to 4 diamond layers but then lava is at feet level and that’s dangerous.

Going any lower than Y-10 is a waste. You don’t get any more (as in extra) layers and starting Y-5 bedrock starts appearing so you won’t even be able to mine perfectly.

Strip mine and make your tunnels with 11 block gaps. And while your in your tunnel make little “poke holes” with 2 block gaps on between just in case there’s some diamonds you might miss.

Hope this helps :)

go to y =11-12 and start strip mining a 1 wide x 2 tall strip and dig

10 blocks or so. then make another 2 blocks to the left or right of it

X-ray

I usually strip mine around Y 11 until I find cave or something. I’ll either find diamonds in the cave or the strip mine. There may be some other methods but this works for me.
