Where to Find Onyx in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Onyx is a rare crafting material you can gain while mining dark rock spots around the map. However, Onyx is not a resource you get from one specific location. Instead, you can find it in any region around the Disney Dreamlight Valley world, including in the Vitalys Mines.

Despite this, it is relatively rare compared to other minerals, so you may find yourself mining dozens of rocks before encountering even one Onyx. If you farm a lot, you can think of Onyx as the mining equivalent of Rich Soil.

Fortunately, you’ll receive the Onyx alongside other resources. In other words, if you’re looking for gems too, you may get lucky and find both an Onyx and the mineral!
