Have you ever went mining for diamonds and then all you find is coal? In this tutorial you will learn how to turn the boring old coal ore into a shining diamond ore! In real life diamonds are compressed coal, so if we expose a coal ore to heat and high preassure it will turn into a diamond ore. It is recommended that you watch the video before you continue to read.

In order to do this you are going to need some items. You will need five pistons, 5 levers, flint and steel/lava bucket and a coal ore(the coal ore can be obtained by mining a coal ore with a silk touch pickaxe). Once you have these items you have to make the machine that is going to compress the coal ore. Follow the schemtaic below when you build the machine:

P=Piston, []=Air, C=Coal ore

       P
       []
P [] C [] P
       []
       P

NOTE: There has to be a piston below the coal ore as well!

When you have build the machine climb on top of it and set the visible part of the coal ore on fire. All you have to do now is to wait for the coal to compress. This process usually takes about 3.3 billion years. I hope you found this tutorial helpful! Remember to leave a diamond to show your support!
