Tutorials/Diamonds – Official Minecraft Wiki
Diamond can be found anywhere beneath layer 16, but is most common in layers 512. Methods for finding the ore generally fall in two categories: either caving or mining. Either way, the player will need an iron or diamond pickaxe to mine the diamonds (also any gold, emerald, or redstone they come across).
