it cant just sit there... otherwise we wouldnt have any coal left on the planet... but alot of diamond... also, think of dmnd as an indestructible element, not actual diamond... qrtz is actual diamond basically
Ok I modify what I said earlier, when alot of heat and pressure is added and it sits for 3 minutes with the heat and pressure for exactly 3 minutes, then it turns nto QRTZ & DMND
You have a gastronomic imagination, but it seems to leave out key elements to ideas, and how they would affect other saves today.
Basically any save that has a coal burning engine will not work after 3 minutes. DMND is not actually DMND, if it was, it would be destroyable. QRTZ can be tough when hot, so it's more of an example of real DMND. But no, neither element should affect the conditions of COAL.
I actually have it to where coal will turn into diamond in my mod when it heats up to a certain temp. and diamond also breaks when a lot of pressure hits it. it also melts at a very high temp.
