Name

I was playing around and I put them in the crafting table. Before they said emerald but after i put them in the crafting table their name changed diamond. It seems like a bug but does anyone else have this problem? Killrbladez 21:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Diamonds called emeralds in code = false

Diamonds are not technically called "emeralds" in Minecraft's original source code as it is when you buy it. They are called something like "ccb" or otherwise, because the code is obfuscated.

The mistake of calling diamonds Emeralds in the code is the people who did Minecraft Coder Pack. If I remember correctly Notch didn't tell us how to de-obfuscate the code nor did he provide an answer key, so for all we know the code he originally made (pre-obfuscation) could have called diamonds "thoseShinyBlueThings". (not that it did, we just don't know for sure) 216.175.102.133 02:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Coincidence?

There is a world in the iconic video game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 called 'Emerald Hill Zone', and emeralds are only found naturally in Extreme Hills biomes.

Without a source from a Mojangsta saying it's an intentional homage, yes it is just a coincidence. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 13:36, 24 February 2013 (UTC))

Why Rubies are gone

I bet they got confused with redstone (there red like redstone). But if there is an official reson, contact me. - Ogre Pikmin
