After trying to mine a diamond vein for his ores, I get my pickaxe broken, lost the vein of diamond and didn't get any ore.

I was using a iron pickaxe to do the mining. Could the type of the pickaxe influence in this matter? Which one should I use to mine diamond vein?

PS: My pickaxe durability was full, I haven't used it before.

  • So let me get this straight, you were mining diamonds with an iron pick, and then you didn't get the diamonds when you mined them with the iron pick? Right?

The iron pickaxe is fine for picking up diamond ore. So using your iron pickaxe for diamonds should work.

Have a look at this table :

Pickaxes

Even if the pickaxe loses it's durability you can take the next one and you will never ever lose ore for that. Either you pick it or you don't. Sometimes it happens that after mining the ore falls down into lava or water but that's it.
