3. Mine the Deepslate Emerald Ore

The game control to mine the deepslate emerald ore depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the deepslate emerald ore.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the deepslate emerald ore.
  • For Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the deepslate emerald ore.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the deepslate emerald ore.

You will need to continue to mine until the block breaks and a smaller block of deepslate emerald ore finally appears. The deepslate emerald ore will float on the ground.

TIP: Normally when you mine deepslate emerald ore, you get an emerald as the drop. However, when you mine the deepslate emerald ore using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, you will get the deepslate emerald ore itself as the drop.

Make sure you pick up the deepslate emerald ore before it disappears.

Once you pick up the deepslate emerald ore, it will appear in your hotbar.
