How to find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.20 - Best Diamond Y Level
As far as update 1.20.41, you’re able to easily find diamonds at aroundY -16, increasing chances of finding some as you reach the Y level -50, similar to the previous update.
Best Y-level for Diamonds
The best Y level to find diamonds isanywhere between Y level -53 to -55;I usually find success between those levels while doing the oldbranch mining method. If you can dig your way around the lava without dying, you can keep exploring for Diamond oresuntil Y level-59(before the bedrock layer at Y level -60 to -64).
Remember that you may only mine the diamond ores usingiron,diamond, ornetheritepickaxe. If you mine it with the wrong tool, you will get nothing from the ore.The best place to look for diamonds would be large caves, like the one in the picture above, so make sure tocheck mountainsides for any cave entrancesyou may find andbring a few Potion of Night Visionalong your journey!
