What is the maximum amount of diamonds in one vein?

Arqade Asked by zombieatmore on September 25, 2021

Recently I have started a survival world on Xbox 360. I immediately found a cave with around 24 diamonds. It was in a odd location with a 1 by 1 hole leading to the cave. It also had a dirt pillar that was about 10 dirt blocks high. This was kind of suspecting that somebody did it because I was in creative earlier and I left to do something. So I was wondering what the maximum amount of diamonds were possible or if that was just a person who placed it.

Diamond ore appears in veins of 3-8. As said by the Minecraft wiki and also by personal experience.

Diamond ore only appears at Y level 16 and below, and can be found in veins of 3–8.

I think the max is 10 because I found 10 in one vein and no one else other than me had access to my world on this seed, and I never went on creative on it before. It’s seed 777, Position: -1264, 10, 387

Due to how Minecraft vein generation works, it is possible to find veins with up to 10 diamonds even though the max vein size is 8.

As the Minecraft Wiki stated in Meantub's answer:

Diamond ore attempts to generate 1 time per chunk in veins of 0-10 ore, in layers 1 to 16 in all biomes.

But, it is possible to find a much larger diamond vein than this, if multiple veins spawn directly beside each other on different chunks. This could result in a maximum of 40 diamonds in a single giant vein, if the veins generated in corners. But, this is highly unlikely to ever occur in game.
