Diamonds are considered one of the most valuable items in the game due to their scarcity and use as a crafting material. Tools and armor made from it are the most durable in the game. Diamonds can be used to make Shovels, Pickaxes, Axes, Hoes, Swords, Armor, Jukeboxes, Enchantment Tables and solid diamond blocks. A Diamond pickaxe is the only pickaxe that can be used to mine Obsidian.
