Diamond Man is a unique Minecraft character that has many fans, particularly from Reddit. Diamond Man originated 5 years ago on r/shittymcsuggestions in a post titled simply “New Mob: Diamond Man” and reading “diamonds are to hard to get, can we add a mob that gives them out???” It became the top post of that subreddit, with around 175 upvotes. In late July 2018, a new inside joke on that subreddit was created involving mob grinders. In response to this, u/NinjolasNJM made a post stating that whenever there was another post about mob grinders, he would repost the top suggestion of all time. He kept his word, and Diamond Man became an even larger meme. Later, u/NinjolasNJM joined u/camcamcam753 in creating a new rival subreddit, r/crappymcsuggestions, resulting in him being banned from the original subreddit. It turned out this ban was only temporary, and Diamond Man posts continued on both subs. Mainly on the newer sub, Diamond Man gained some lore and origin stories, and an official skin was made. A Diamond Man Meme even made it to the front page of r/GoCommitDie, a Roblox subreddit, which has never happened before.

Although Diamond Man in normal Minecraft may not be very fitting or interesting, we think Diamond Man would fit perfectly into the new Minecraft: Dungeons game. Although not the biggest Minecraft fan character, it would be heartwarming for our small part of the Minecraft fan base to be represented in this new game.

Diamond Man could have many roles in the game. He could be a playable or supporting character, an enemy, or both. It is commonly known that he appears to be made out of Diamond and can create diamonds, and is often considered immensely powerful. In the case that he is a supporting character, he could be able to repair Diamond gear or turn gear into Diamond. If he is an enemy or boss, he would probably be in the end of the game as he has high attack and defense due to his diamonds.
