FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Deepslate Emerald Ore?
An iron pickaxe or better. Lower tiers break the block without dropping anything.
Where does Deepslate Emerald Ore generate?
Only in mountain-type biomes, and only in the narrow band where the deepslate layer reaches high enough to intersect those mountains.
Is it rarer than regular Emerald Ore?
It generates in the same mountain biomes but only where deepslate is present, making it noticeably less common overall than the stone variant.
What are emeralds used for?
Almost exclusively villager and wandering trader commerce; emeralds have no crafting recipes of their own besides emerald blocks.
