din's REMOVE DIAMOND

A Minecraft datapack that completely removes diamond ore generation from world generation, creating an extreme challenge where diamond ore can only be found in loot chests and diamond tools/armor can only be obtained through villager trades in Minecraft Java Edition.

📋 Description

This datapack completely removes diamond ore generation from the world. By overriding vanilla diamond ore features, no diamond ore will spawn in newly generated chunks. This creates an extreme challenge where: - Diamond tools and armor can only be obtained from loot chests - Diamond tools and armor can only be obtained through villager trades

Players cannot craft diamond tools or armor, making villager trading essential for obtaining these items.
