Where to Find Diamond Shovel in Minecraft

Look in All Overworld biomes (deep underground) for Diamond Shovel, because no other biome on our list carries Diamond Shovel. Vertically Diamond Shovel is tied to the Y -64 to 16 range, which is the band to dig in rather than wandering at random depths for Diamond Shovel. Only requires 1 diamond, making it an affordable diamond tool. Right-click grass blocks to create dirt paths for village aesthetics. Diamond Shovel does not spawn naturally in the world or generate in chests as standard loot: it is something you make at a Crafting Table, so the practical question is where to gather its ingredients rather than where to find the finished item.

The most reliable way to get Diamond Shovel is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Diamond and Stick: 2 ingredients, a fixed grid, and no luck involved anywhere. Crafting Diamond Shovel needs Diamond (mine diamond ore deep underground around Y -59) and Stick (crafted from two planks), and each of those has its own place in the world to come from. Fastest way to dig sand, gravel, dirt, soul sand, and snow. Remember that Diamond Shovel does not stack: every one you pick up takes an inventory slot of its own, nine of them fill the hotbar and 27 fill a chest, so bring storage if you plan to collect several. Diamond Shovel has been in the game since the original 1.0 release, so any up-to-date world or server hands you the same Diamond Shovel with the same numbers behind it.

Next to Diamond Shovel you will run into Diamond Pickaxe, Diamond Hoe, and Diamond Axe, and the reason is usually shared: one biome, one structure or one crafting chain. Everything measured about Diamond Shovel is on the Diamond Shovel item page.
