I honestly do not know. With some research I am certain I could find some upper and lower bounds, mostly based on the average prevalence of diamond ore, block-break-time, and time spent. The magnitude is probably correct, but the actual value would probably vary greatly.

E: And we haven’t even considered opportunity cost! If we use the LLM estimate, 10 diamond per hour equates to $15/hr. Awful, and you couldn’t even rest or your average goes down.

E2: And since this is vanilla MC, you would have to spend a great portion of time mining for resources just to be able to mine, it’s kinda like the rocket fuel problem. You’d necessarily have to spend time getting wood, coal, and iron. All this drives down the per-hour earnings dramatically.
