that is some climb

[Pred the Penguin]

In the 2 crisscrossing ravines, mineshafts, and very large cave systems under my area, I've found maybe a dozen spawners of all varieties and lots of emeralds and  but no diamond except the few I've nabbed from chests. Is this normal?! On dynamap the area just looks like a giant blue blob.

I only found diamonds once i started clearing out large areas near bedrock to get cobble for my giant tower dicks

Ha! Looks awesome by the way

Although, now you've gone and made me inclined to build and oil rig after my islands are done

Yeah, diamonds are only found between levels 1 and 15, most commonly around level 12, and that's either the very bottom of or just below naturally-spawning cave systems.  This is why, despite the game insisting that emeralds are rarer than diamond, I've dug up about thirty of the former and ten of the latter.

They're rarer in regards to how many you could find in a world as they can only be found in one biome
Diamonds can be found in all biomes

I've zero emerald, but a stack of diamonds from my cave systems simply because I'm nowhere near a extreme hills biome

[Pred the Penguin]

I'm near exclusively in an extreme hills biome. Maybe I should trade emeralds for diamonds.

[Mongoose]

Yeah, probably half of my island is extreme hills, and has a bunch of abandoned mineshafts to boot, so I've seen plenty in my caverns.  I don't think there's huge value in trading for them, though, since you can farm them from NPCs without a whole bunch of trouble.

UPDATE:

Whole server:

Kyad is awesome. Now all your troubles are solved! Well at least one of them.

[Aardwolf]

I just started playing qazwsx's server a couple days ago. Building a tower on a mount.

[deathfun]

After consulting with Kyad, I've managed to pull in four more players from an animation forum I frequent
You may see them around

I'll be getting the ban hammer ready... 'just in case'.

Also, asking qaz too probably would have been a good idea.

[Pred the Penguin]

I'll probably be off Minecraft for a month. Don't mess with me mountain on qaz's server! D:<

Yes, it would have been to which I now realize I should have

[qazwsx]

Well, given that I'm spending a load of time in the australian outback and am pretty much uncontactable, it would be a pain having to wait for me to get back to civilization, so yeah, I trust the other admins to make this sort of decision.

But we have IRC, you respond eventually.
