Step-by-step recipe, cheapest path first — everything below is crafted from the four starting elements.
How to make 💎 Diamond — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Earth + Fire = LavaBoth Earth and Fire come straight from your starting elements — craft Lava first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Earth + Lava = StoneStone is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Lava + Stone = ObsidianIf you already made Obsidian in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Obsidian = DiamondFinal craft: combine Earth and Obsidian to make Diamond. That's the whole path — 4 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Diamond
We rank every known recipe for Diamond by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Earth and Obsidian — cost 1 and 5 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 4 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Diamond
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Dust + Obsidian | 6 crafts |
| Charcoal + Earth | 8 crafts |
| Coal + Earth | 8 crafts |
| Coal + Fire | 8 crafts |
| Crystal + Dust | 7 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Diamond?
Diamond is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Planet and you get Earth; pair it with Pangaea and you get Earth; pair it with Sand Planet and you get Earth; pair it with Tectonic Plates and you get Earth; pair it with Globe and you get Earth; pair it with Fire Flower and you get Fire. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Diamond
- Craft in one sitting. The 4-craft chain for Diamond takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Stone) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Dust + Obsidian also produces Diamond if that route fits your inventory better.
