Never NEVER in allll of my year of minecraft played a map this long without diamonds. Im am currently in my second super cave that goes down to bedrock and back and NO DIAMONDS. Not even in dungeon chests! I dont know why I think it must be some bug because ive also been getting an unusual amount of gold. 3 stacks of gold and not a single diamond. Someone want to prove me wrong so I can stop worrying?
Or post a link to an Xray mod XD
(because none of the texture packs just make the blocks invisable.)
To find diamonds, you need to dig quite a bit. You will need to create at least 6 mca files just to find enough to make a full suit of diamond armour. Sometimes, I found diamonds when all I wanted was gold - yeah, I prefer gold. In peaceful mode, gold is far more valuable, because of the amount of rails you will need - although I get tired of mining and just use TMI
Ive never found diamond in any cave systems on my seed either, found some in a ravine, and the other 2 stacks of 64 diamonds i got from mining at y:12 like others stated above
One does not simply find diamonds. You need to keep digging deeper in your mineshafts and search further in those cave systems. Diamond is rare after all and gold is WAY more easily found than diamonds.
GUYS I FOUND THEM I FOUND THEM I FOUND THEM! 6 DIAMONDS!
*ahem* I dug in a straight path on height 11 and when I hit a ravine I saw 6 by a lava lake. I used them to craft a diamond picaxe, sword, and a record player. I want to go get all the records now but ill have to wait. I havnt slept in days.
No but really its late and ive stayed up to long looking for diamonds XD

Go to a large open area, like a plains or a desert biome, and get skeletons to kill creepers. Usually two swings with a diamond sword and one or two punches would get the creeper to low enough health to get it killed by a skeleton in one hit.

Nah, that is too risky. You will be better of building a machine to do the work for you.
It's quite simple to get records with the help of rails. Just lay some tracks in a small circle with a booster rail to spin the minecart around and around. Next you find a skeleton that you lead over the tracks, when the mob is hit by the minecart he will be trapped inside the cart. Spinning around in circles.
Then make another small railroad circle and trap a creeper in that minecart.
Now all you need to do is to stand in a location that will cause the skeleton to hit the creeper in the attempt to shot you.
Stopping the minecart from spinning around or letting the two minecarts sync up will make the skeleton able to kill the creeper quicker.
If you add a roof over the skeleton to provide a shadow you can even do this in daylight. Often it will be easier to find creepers early in the morning as all other hostile mobs have burned up so that all that are left are the creepers (and non hostile spiders).

3 hits from an iron sword and an arrow from a skelly do them in. I've gotten a ton of records that way.
take a look at this pick
in my texture pack the diamonds are the blue splotchy blocks also notice they are by lava and my level is 15.62 and they are lower

Could you explain that a bit better I think you may be on to something.

Sounds good fun... What is your world seed?

maybe also try Wacky Mining (dig all around any ore deposits you find between bedrock and level 16):
