Why can't I find any diamonds? [closed]

I am having some trouble locating diamonds; I can find anything but diamonds. I'm not a new player, I understand the how and where to find diamonds, and I've never had trouble before. I've managed to find 2 in chests, but I don't think they are spawning underground.

Is Minecraft broken (preventing natural deposits of diamond from spawning)? Is something wrong with my version of Minecraft specifically? Does it have something to do with my installed mods? Or am I just having an unlucky run?

I'm running Minecraft v1.7.10, with Forge and Thaumcraft installed.

According to Minecraft Wiki, there is an average of 3.097 diamond ore per chunk-sized area. I think you are just being unlucky.

Why am I not finding any diamonds Minecraft?

Diamonds can only spawn naturally below Y level 16, which means that if you're exploring a cave that doesn't descend significantly, you won't find the good stuff. Diamonds do not tend to spawn close to lava, but lava pools are naturally more open areas and you can look at more blocks this way.

Why are diamonds so hard to find now?

Most diamonds are found in kimberlite pipes, and few pipes yield enough diamonds to be worth the effort of mining them. In fact, significant diamond deposits are so rare that many explorers are giving up.

How do you find diamonds easily in Minecraft?

There's a small chance to find diamonds in village treasure chests. Desert temples and mineshafts might hold diamonds in their treasure chests too. The most common place to find chests with diamonds is in buried treasure chests. These are chests buried underground, usually on beaches.
