At what height to look for diamonds in Minecraft: best level (2026)

Information is current as of August 2026 (versions 1.18–1.21, Java and Bedrock).

“At what altitude should we look for diamonds?” - a question that blew up the forums after update 1.18 and has not subsided to this day: the world has become deeper, the caves are larger, and the usual “dig at the 11th height” no longer works.
