Get ready to give your designs a glow-up in this week’s Build with It! We asked for your creative community ideas recently, and everyone came through in a flash with designs ready to dazzle(使眼花缭乱) and impress (like our top image from IvanZagoro). That’s right – we’re talking about diamond builds today!

Although diamonds have many real world uses due to their extreme hardness硬度, durability耐久, and luster光泽, you won’t find them used in buildings or clever creations like we’re suggesting here. Instead, they’re used in drills钻头, semiconductors半导体, record needles, and jewelry. They also have a long and rich history you may be interested in checking out.

In Minecraft, however, they also make a great building material since they’re so tough. In addition to all the tools and armor盔甲 you can make of them, they also add a lovely优美的 aqua水绿色 shade阴影 to your stone and wood designs.

There are plenty of places to go looking if you’re short on diamonds! You can mine them in caverns, or set your sights on the numerous许多的 chests胸、箱子 scattered分散的 around the world – shipwrecks, minecarts in abandoned mineshafts, strongholds, jungle temples, buried treasure chests, woodland mansions,and more . Even village chests can potentially hold these glittery gems.

Once you have enough diamonds for a whole building, or maybe just a fancy statue塑像, get ready to turn them into your new best (building) friend with some inspiration灵感 from the community featured here.
