Remove Diamonds from Survival Games

[tjc71394]

Diamonds in vanilla minecraft and in survival games are simply over powered. The possibility of receiving them should be removed entirely in order to keep the game about skill and tactics as opposed to just who can find the diamonds first.

Diamond swords are an easy 2 hit on anyone, remove them.

Amen!

Diamond Swords do 0.5 more hearts damage than iron....cmon'

 

[Zeno]

No.

It does not mean if someone has a diamond sword he will win.. Try to get some bow and arrows.. then u will be able do deal a lot of damage before he gets to you.. and finish him of with iron.

Diamonds will stay in the game.. no chance that they will be removed

I say keep diamonds. And mod, end this thread. It will cause a flamewar.

It IS about skill with diamonds.

It actually takes 3 hits to kill somebody with a diamond sword straight on.
And that's if the victim is wearing no armour, they'd be screwed even if it was a wooden or stone sword.

I get diamonds by either get them from spawn, my chestroute (1, 2 and 3 only) or simple by killing people that has them, diamond sword!

Nothing wrong with diamond swords, survival of the best right?

EDIT: And I've beat a lot of people who had almost full iron/diamond sword with a stone sword.

Having diamonds in game is still fair it also shows how much skill you have to kill that person.
