fun fact: since the swift sneak enchantment has come out, its MUCH better to crawl mine because you mine more blocks per second as you not moving your mouse to a different block. and you mine 1 blocks lower, reviewing even more diamonds

My favorite method is definitely the cave exploring one. Not only is it the most rewarding, but it's the only method which isn't boring and very repetitive. You constantly see new terrain and awesome places. Also for me the occasional mob fighting doesn't come as a downside as I rather enjoy it.

I think the 16 diamond vein happened because 2 chunks generated 8 diamonds coincidentally right next to each other creating the illusion of a 16 diamond vein. Very cool! :)

I feel that end ship looting would be a very good strategy because you get tons of diamond armor in the chests, which is what 90 percent of diamonds are used for.

If you’re doing cave exploring I highly recommend doing it in an ocean. You’ll frequently see water filled caves that reach into deepslate, and being exposed to water they don’t get affected by the reduced air exposure thing. There aren’t many mobs to worry about either, just an occasional drowned.

If you don’t want to maintain night vision, there’s a precise 3rd person camera position on the edge of the water that will let you see down without water distortion.

Shulkercraft:cheap to build
3 Ancient debris per machine:am i joke to you

Daimond rates at y=-53 are almost the same as at y=-57, but you'll be above all the lava lakes, so you can just water them to obsidian. I think this would greatly affect the results of the tunnel bore

I appreciate the editing efforts that you guys have been putting into your videos as of late, keep it up guys, for real :)

[yeppers]

you should try this with ancient debris too, like mining, bastion raiding etc :)

Underwater cave mining is probably one of the best ways to get diamonds and if you feed dolphins it will direct you to the nearest chest in the ocean. The chest might be from shipwreck and can contain buried treasure maps which will contain op loots. Plus underwater diamond ores are considered as unexposed, so you have a higher chance of getting veins of diamonds (since diamonds are found more unexposed than the usual cave mining)

I've always had my best luck doing strip mining but on Chuck borders like on 00 or 16 16, 32 32 etc. do a double wide shaft with tunnels stretching out left and right every three blocks and you can average about 42 ores per hour (plenty more diamonds if your tool has Fortune of course)

[ChillCapybara]

They used diamond tools to mine a lot of diamonds, kinda like recycling

For the end cities, I would count the diamond equipment as well. Sure it's not in diamond form, but it's diamonds you don't need to waste crafting new equipment. There were several diamond chestplates you showed alone, and in blocks I'm sure you would collect several stacks worth of diamonds in equipment form. The enchantments would not be ideal but just use a grindstone, throw the cursed ones away though.

You could also do world eater designed by pixelis, but obviously getting trenches and building takes very long time. However I am currently doing it and the real concern is to take care of the machine or else it completely breaks. Will compute the total, but obviously rates are slower. But there can be more diamonds than tunnel bore.

Spoilers: I computed the total. You can get more than 3600 diamonds total with fortune 3 pickaxe and using 17x17 chunk. That is more than 400 diamond blocks!

You forgot a method: strip mining with a haste II beacon. This requires to replace the beacon often but may be worth it.

[Hadriandidnothingwrong-zc]

I think it is actually better to dig into the wall every 4 blocks when strip mining, because you will be a lot faster while still finding 80-90% of the diamonds you would find digging into the wall every 3 blocks.
(Btw, I could be wrong even though I'm pretty sure that I'm not but the math is a bit complicated and I don't want to do it. I would have to figure out what shapes diamond clusters spawn with which probability and how chunks affect the spawning behavior and i'm almost certain that the position of your mining pattern relative to the chunk grid also changes how many diamonds you will find. If you want to get really autistic about this you would probably find enough for a bachelor thesis and I just can't be bothered. Every 5 blocks might also be viable btw.)

[amaidiot]

for the cave exploration if you are having difficulty try not using the elytra as much so you can use a chestplate

[marconde]

The determination of these guys makes me scared, like, when you notice they haven't uploaded a video for months, its cause they're doing something crazy
And they don't fail to impress us

6:19 : "Cheap to build" *proceeds to use 5 ancient debris per machine*

[BreadCraft_]

Waw, we need lot of diamonds on the survival world of our channel too!!!
Can't wait to see uour metods!!
