While XRay does not add diamonds to Minecraft, it surely makes it easier to find them. XRay mods make common blocks, such as dirt and stone, invisible, so players can see through them to find ores.

It's suggested to only use XRay Mod on singleplayer worlds, as it is bannable on most multiplayer servers, and we do not endorse cheating.
