So I thought I'd share how impressive it is if you actually got a diamond block.
How block generation works is that it starts from Sand, and there's a coin toss 50% spawn sand and 50% go on to the next resource and repeat. That means, the chances of getting the following blocks are:
Sand - 0.5
Stone - 0.25
Coal - 0.125
Copper - 0.0625
Marble - 0.03125
Silver - 0.015625
Emerald - 0.007813
Pearl - 0.003906
Gold - 0.001953
Sapphire - 0.000977
Diamond - 0.000488
It's lame yeah I know but what else are you gonna do in this pandemic. Might as well stream it and try to get diamond.
Show me a video of you getting diamond and I shall post it here. That'll be impressive. The full (fuller) version would have 23 block types in total so only a god could get the last one.
