Minecraft is a collect-a-thon, and you always seek to gather as much material as possible. These materials can help you build the right tools or structures for better interactivity with your world in Minecraft.
There is always a chance or probability associated with getting the desired loot from its source, so there is randomness at all times, and thus requires some repetitive action.
Amongst this great loot game, the best material you can get your hands on is the Diamond, a rare mineral used to create high-tier tools and armor, enchanting tables, blocks of diamond, and jukeboxes.
Zombies do not drop diamonds normally, but there have been some rare occasions where they have dropped rare minerals.
What Are Diamonds Used For?
Diamonds are the go-to material to create the strongest armor and weapons in the game. Players are always eager to store as many diamonds as possible to craft this equipment to deal with dangerous scenarios. The equipment you can craft from Diamonds are:
- Diamond Axe
- Diamond Boots
- Diamond Chestplate
- Diamond Helmet
- Diamond Hoe
- Diamond Leggings
- Diamond Pickaxe
- Diamond Shovel
- Diamond Sword
On top of the above-mentioned armor and weapons, Diamonds can also be used to craft other items like:
- Block of Diamond: A regular block you can use to create your structure or add bling to your crib.
- Enchanting Table: Used to enchant yourself and your equipment with various buffs.
- Jukebox: To listen to some block-head tunes.
There are many use cases for this material, and if you are a true Minecraft player, you will want to get as many as you can. Diamonds are Steve’s bestfriend!
Zombies Drop Diamonds
Zombies are the run-of-the-mill basic enemy type that you encounter in Minecraft. They come in many shapes and sizes and are a general nuisance when traversing the world. Zombies are likely to drop Iron Ingots, Carrot, and Potato depending on the type of zombie and how it’s killed.
The other items they drop are the naturally-spawned equipment they are carrying at the moment, like:
- Carved Pumpkin
- Jack o’Lantern
- Iron Shovel (sometimes enchanted)
- Iron Sword (sometimes enchanted)
- Random Armor (sometimes enchanted, made from leather, gold, chainmail, iron, or diamond)
According to most sources and experiments, zombies are not prone to dropping Diamonds when killed. But recently, there have been some instances where certain zombies or a group of them would result in Diamond drops, but that is very rare.
The zombies with Gold armor have produced such effects, but even that is unnecessary.
Finding zombies that drop diamonds is hard to come by and requires rigorous farming if you use this Diamond collecting method alone.
In the end, it’s all about luck and the zombies that are spawning in your world. You can keep trying, and we hope you get the opportunity of finding a horde of zombie Diamond droppers.
