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:
