Minecraft 1.21 survival mode contains rare and valuable items that serve various purposes. Some of them are so rare that they are hard to find easily. Not everyone can get their hands on them, so they are also a reason to impress your friends. The good part is that they won’t be a secret anymore, as we unveil them in this post. This blog post will discuss the seven most rare items in Minecraft and how you can get them.
1) Music Discs
If you love music, music discs in Minecraft must have amazed you. They are a breath of fresh air when the regular Minecraft music is not playing. But they are rare and hard to obtain. You may occasionally get music discs like ‘Cat’ and ‘13’ from loot chests in underground dungeons.
The best way to get other music discs is through a skeleton shooting a creeper. We know it is difficult to set up, but you can get any music disc once you manage it. In the Bedrock edition, you can find these discs in buried treasures.
2) Totem of Undying
The Totem of Undying is one of the rarest and most valuable items in Minecraft. With it in hand, you can not die as it revives you every time and gives you a chance to recover. The ‘Evoker’ mob drops this item. It is a super annoying mob that sends off blue-colored flying demons trying to kill you. But you have to get through them to get this totem. You can find evokers in the Woodland mansion and raids led by Evoker. There is no way to craft Totem of Undying in Minecraft.
3) Enchanted Golden Apple
This is another item that makes you immortal in the game. Enchanted Golden Apple is also known as the ‘Notch Apple.’ You get fire resistance, extra health, and a lot more when you eat it. It can literally send you in some kind of God mode. You could craft a Notch Apple in previous versions of Minecraft, but the recipe has been removed. So you would have to find one through exploration.
You can find them in dungeons, desert temples, ancient cities, and bastions. Ancient cities are underground structures that spawn under mountain biomes and have an 8.4% chance of having notch apples. Bastions are another underground structure found in the Nether dimension. You have a 6.5% chance of finding an enchanted golden apple in treasure bastions.
4) Trident
Let us move on from rare healing items to rare badass weapons. Trident is one of them. You can use it for both melee and ranged combat. It does heavy damage and works well underwater, unlike a bow and arrow that slows down by water. It has some of the best enchantments as well. What makes it rare is that you can not craft a trident in Minecraft. The only way to get it is by killing a drowned mob underwater. It is not easy at all, as finding a drowned mob with a trident is hard. And them dropping a trident is even harder.
So what can you do? The best strategy to find a trident is to get underwater at night with a Looting III sword. Stay around one area and look for structures like shipwrecks and ruins where mobs spawn more frequently.
5) Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
If you want to convert your diamond gear into a netherite gear, use the netherite upgrade smithing template. Most gamers who are finding it hard to have netherite armor are the ones that can not get their hands on a netherite upgrade smithing template. Although it is not as rare as a trident, it is indeed very annoying to obtain. You can find it in the bastion structures. Any bastion chest has a good chance of having it.
You do not have to find others if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one of them. You can just craft others. You will need 7 diamonds, one nether rack, one netherite upgrade smithing template, and a crafting table. Finding diamonds is a lot easier than finding these templates. So, if you follow the recipe, you can have nearly an infinite supply of netherite upgrade smithing templates.
6) Mob Heads
Mob heads are the sort of items you impress your friends with. They are one of the most rarest items in Minecraft for a good reason. You can only get them through a charged creeper, a creeper struck by lightning, killing a zombie or skeleton. It is rare to encounter a creeper struck by lightning as it is a random occurrence. What you can do is to use a trident during a thunderstorm and channel it to a creeper. This will make the creeper charged. Just be careful, as charged creepers have a larger explosion radius.
7) Enchanted Books
Enchanted books are one of the most valuable things in Minecraft and serve as an alternative to the enchantment table. They let you put unique enchantments on items through an anvil. You can obtain an enchanted book through various means. Although they are not as rare as other items, they are not easy to get. Your best chance of having an enchanted book is by these 2 ways.
i) You can enchant a regular book with an enchantment table to make it an enchanted book. The table needs to have 15 bookshelves around it.
ii) Another way to get an enchanted book is by trading with librarian villagers. To change the enchantment they sell, you must break their lectern and replace it again. You can keep doing this until you get the enchanted book you want.
Final Thoughts
