To survive against the ferocious creatures in Minecraft, players have to utilize items in the game. Most items can be crafted using the crafting table, while some can only be obtained from loot chests and mob drops.

Some items are generated a lot or more than others. Below is a list of the rarest items that they can obtain in survival or hardcore mode. These items have multiple uses and can only be found in limited places.


Some rarest items in Minecraft survival that players should know about

Here are some of the rarest items in Minecraft survival that players will come across.

5) Conduit

They are blocks that grant the player "Conduit power" upon activation. Those under this effect will receive three status effects: Haste, Water Breathing, and Nightvision.

Users can craft conduits using one heart of the sea and eight nautilus shells.


4) Pig step

Pig step is the rarest music disc in Minecraft, added to the game in the 1.16 update. Sadly, once broken, the pig step music disc cannot be renewed.

Unlike other music discs, pig steps cannot be obtained from mob drops. Players can get it by exploring bastions, and there's a 5.6% chance that a pig step disc will generate in one of its generic chests.


3) Golden apple

Golden apples are rare items that grant players two status effects: Absorption I and Regeneration II. They can craft them using eight gold ingots and one regular apple.

A single golden apple can restore four health points (two drumsticks in the game). Even though golden apples are craftable, finding them in loot chests can be pretty rare.


2) Enchanted golden apple

These are uncraftable variants of golden apples that offer better effects. Gamers need to be careful while holding an enchanted golden apple close to piglins because if they drop it, the latter can pick it up and keep it in their inventory.

Upon eating it, users will acquire four status effects: Absorption IV, Regeneration II, Fire Resistance, and Resistance. They can obtain it from the chests of these structures: dungeons, mineshafts, desert temples, ruined portals, bastions, and woodland mansions.


1) Dragon egg

There's only one dragon egg in survival or hardcore mode that generates naturally in every Minecraft world. It spawns on top of the exit portal in the End dimension when the Ender dragon has been defeated.

Obtaining the dragon egg is not easy as it cannot be mined using a tool. If players try to mine the egg, it will teleport.
