TOP 5

While not the greatest strategy to find diamonds, if players are near a mineshaft, they might get lucky and leave with a few diamonds! Diamonds have a chance to spawn in the loot chests found in mineshafts. There is a 10.4% chance to find 1-2 diamonds in each chest, which isn't too shabby.

Again, this is not the most time effective method of finding diamonds, but it is better than the dangerous mineshafts! Weaponsmith chests have a 16.2% chance to spawn 1-3 diamonds. While not much higher than mineshaft chests, villages are more common than mineshafts and a lot less dangerous.

Bastion Remnants are a dangerous yet rewarding technique for finding diamonds. Chests are located on the Remnants' bridges and have a 15.8% chance to give 2-6 diamonds via each chest. If players are quick on their feet, they can amass a fair amount of diamonds.

These chests are quite generous, with a 59.9% chance to provide 1-2 diamonds.  If players scan the oceans for shipwrecks and ruins, they can amass a substantial collection of explorer maps required to locate buried treasure. Luckily, there is a 100% chance to find an explorer map in a shipwreck.

With a Fortune III pickaxe, it's possible that four diamonds will drop per ore! When compared to other methods, it's easy to see why mining is the most efficient strategy. Players can use various strategies such as cave or strip mining to obtain diamonds quickly in Minecraft.
