Diamonds are required to create enchanting tables in Minecraft. Enchanting tables are made using two diamonds, four obsidian, and one book.

Players can also use diamonds to craft swords, pickaxes, armor, and other items in the game.

Certain items in Minecraft can only be obtained using diamonds. For instance, players must use a diamond pickaxe to get obsidian. If mined with anything other than a diamond pickaxe, the obsidian will just break. Players also need diamond equipment to get Netherite in the game.
