Quick answer: Diamond armor saves lives

Tree path: Minecraft › Stone Age › Getting an Upgrade › Acquire Hardware › Isn't It Iron Pick? › Diamonds! › Cover Me with Diamonds (advancements are independent: they can be completed in any order; the tree only guides progression)

Tree parent: Diamonds!

Advancements are exclusive to Java Edition. The Bedrock Edition equivalent is achievements, which have different objectives.

How to get Cover Me with Diamonds

  1. Mine diamonds: branch mine or cave at Y=-59 (just above the bedrock layer) in the deepslate layers, where diamond ore is most common. Bring an iron pickaxe or better.
  2. Find 4 or more diamonds. Boots are the cheapest piece (4 diamonds); a helmet costs 5, leggings 7 and a chestplate 8.
  3. Craft the piece at a crafting table and equip it in your armor slot.

Tips

A Fortune III pickaxe more than doubles your diamond yield, so enchant before mining a big vein. Diamonds also appear in chests in villages (weaponsmith), shipwrecks, buried treasure, bastions and End cities if mining is slow.
