Diamond (Block)

Blocks of Diamond are currently available in Indev, Infdev, Alpha, and Beta and can be obtained by crafting nine diamond gems together in a 3x3 square. They currently serve no crafting purpose, and function only as decoration and as a means of storing diamonds in a compact fashion. Diamond blocks can only be mined successfully with an iron or diamond pick. They have the same texture on all six sides.

Diamond (Gem)

A Diamond Gem is an item dropped when diamond ore is mined. This (along with items in general) is not available in Classic mode. Diamonds are considered one of the most valuable items in the game due to their rarity and usefulness as a crafting material. Tools and armor made from it are the most durable in the game. Diamonds can be used to make Shovels, Pickaxes, Axes, Hoes, Swords, Armor, Jukeboxes, and solid diamond blocks.

Diamond Ore can be mostly found at levels below 18, and is found in small veins of 1-8 together. It cannot be mined using stone, wooden or golden pickaxes. It can only be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe.

Squid

When moving about, the squid's tentacles open and close, giving them an appearance of pushing themselves forward. Squid swim around aimlessly, and do not deliberately interact with the player.

When forced onto land, squid become immobile. They take fall damage and burn like any land mob. However, they cannot drown.

Unlike any other mobs, squid are capable of freely swimming up a waterfall.

Squid don't disappear when you go far from it, log out, or restart the server. This makes a squid a good pet which you can keep in your aquarium.

Drops: 0-3 Ink Sacks

Chicken

Chickens wander around aimlessly. They will make no attempt to stay out of water, and a common sight is several chickens bouncing up and down in the water. If you stand near a chicken, it will turn its head towards you for a few seconds, then resume its wandering. They appear to be drawn to caves, since they move more easily down ledges than up them. Since the Beta update they seem to be the most common mob.


Drops: 0-2 feathers and eggs (wait 5-10 minutes for a chicken to lay an egg)

Wolves (Tamed, Wild, Hostile)

Normally, you wouldn't keep a wolf as a pet. They are too dangerous. Obiously not a hostile one in this game. Besides, you can't! You can tame wild wolves in this game with bones. The amount of bones you give the wolf is random. Don;t hit the wolf or else it will attack you. It's eyes will be red to signal it is hostile. If you attack one wolf, it's pack will attack you as well. You right click a wolf to tame it with a bone. When hearts appeaer and it is weating a red collar around it's neck that signals it is tame. you can make it sit and standby right clicking. If you are being attacked your wolf will rush to save you even if it is sitting. However, wolves don't attack creepers. Wolves can die too. If it's tail is low, give it a porkchop (raw or cooked).

Drops: Nothing

Sheep

Have you ever felt wooly sheep? It feels very soft and puffy. In this game you can't feel it but you can take the wool. You can dye the sheep bye getting some dye and right clicking on the sheep. Some natural colored sheep come in white, black, light gray, gray or pink. You can use the wool for cartpets. I perfer white wool since it looks beautiful.

Drops: 1-3 wool

Cows

Cows. They are just like any other passive animal. They don't hurt you. Cows are another useful animal in the game because they drop leather. Do you know what leather makes? ARMOR!!! You might need some armor if you are going on an aventure. You might not know what you might run into like creepers, zombies etc. If a cow is right clicked with a bucket, you can get milk.
