In this guide, our gaming pros will show you how to find diamonds in Minecraft using the Lapis trick. To get you started right away, read on!
Where Can You Find Lapis Lazuli?
Caves and ravines are the best places to look for Lapis Lazuli Ores. Lapis Lazuli can generate from Y-level -64 to Y-level 64. Even so, they are more common near level 0.
You can press F3 to see your coordinates and find out what Y level you are on.
How to Find Diamonds in Minecraft With the Lapis Trick?
- First of all, press F3+G to see the edges of the chunk. This is very important.
- Move to the fourth block to the north from one of the Lapis Lazuli Ores on the north side of the group.
- You can press F3 to find out which way is north. In the middle, the blue arrow will point North (also known as the positive Z-axis).
- If the fourth block to the north is in a different chunk. Here, you must keep counting on the other side of the same chunk.
- From that block, you can start to dig down.
- Be careful when digging straight down, because a fall could kill you or you could end up in a pool of lava. So, you might want to dig in the shape of a set of stairs.
- You just have to dig until you find Diamond Ores.
What Are the Instances When Lapis Trick Won't Work?
- This method doesn't work every time (about 80% of the time), so you won't always find diamonds this way.
- It doesn't work on all seeds either. If you try it on 5/6 or more Lapis Lazuli Ores and don't find a diamond [1], it probably won't work in the Minecraft world you are playing in.
- It doesn't work if you're using Java 1.13 or an older version.
- This doesn't seem to work in the Minecraft Bedrock edition.
- The way terrain is made has changed since the 1.18 patch, and this method is not as reliable as it used to be.
- The change in how the terrain is made didn't affect the Clay-Diamond trick as much.
