Are they supposed to be rare? I go on somebody else's server and they have about 100 Diamonds without giving it to them.

If you run your own server, you can give yourself or others any item, and multiples of them.

Be sure to check out the Minecraft Wiki, it is great. Diamond is found below level 18. So dig down until you hit bedrock (the rock you cannot dig), and go about 16 levels up from there and dig in multiple directions, make long hallways and keep searching. While it can be found below level 18, the highest concentration is between levels 16-18.

Yeah but that is cheating though.

Well I spent many hours in the mine and only got 5 more :( Are there only like 100 total in the entire map or something? The wiki says it is a 0.08% chance of finding one ore.

Really, that hardest part is digging a stairway down to the bottom (bedrock). I just start somewhere random on the surface and make steps the entire way down to bedrock. If you read the Minecraft Wiki, it will give you a great idea of where to dig. Also, search on YouTube for "Diamond Mining Tutorial". Make sure to stock up on your iron pickaxes and shovels and dig away. Oh and to be safe I always brought a bucket of water because sometimes I was careless and ran into lava.

Yes, mods make this game great (though it is very good by itself). I use a handful of plugins in my server, about 11 or so. My favorites are GiveTo and PortalStick. The second one does just that, turns your regular stick into a portal gun.

I probably should have shown the surroundings, but basically I made a floating building in the middle of the sky. That is where the portal leads to:

Just a random screenshot of the beautiful texture pack I am using:

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
