@mrs-turambar / c c page - This is a great question I'm also curious about. I've been avoiding exploring any further in the world I created (but already spent a lot of time in) because I don't want to generate new chunks that also have no diamonds. This is a game-breaking bug for anyone starting a new world or mining in a new place, and I don't think it's getting the attention it deserves. The spawn rate may have been cut in half, but the likelihood of finding diamonds during standard branch mining is probably 1/10th what it normally would be because vein size is so small.
