TOP rarest blocks in Minecraft 1.18

Minecraft worlds are made of many different types of blocks. While some blocks are quite easy to find like cobblestone, there are also very rare blocks that can only be found in certain locations. In this article, let's explore TOP rarest blocks in Minecraft 1.18.

Dragon Egg (Dragon Egg)

This special block is a decoration item that only spawns after the player defeats the Ender Dragon for the first time. The reason a Dragon Egg is an extremely rare block is that it only spawns once in a world and won't spawn a second time.

Mining the dragon egg is quite difficult because it tends to teleport so players won't be able to pick and collect it normally.

To get the Dragon Egg block, it is necessary to place some TNT and explode it, as the block will drop as an item when destroyed by an explosion. Alternatively, gamers can try to push it with a piston block or fill the 31×15×31 area so that the egg cannot move.

Bone block

Bone blocks are often found as part of fossil structures, rarely appearing in the swamp and desert biomes of the Overworld. The player can find bone blocks in the soul sand valley biome.

In general, these blocks are used mainly for decorative purposes. However, they can be converted into 9-piece bone blocks with many uses. The player can place a bone fragment to instantly plant a plant, or even use it on a grass block to create flowers.

Sponge (Sponge)

Sponges are special blocks that absorb water, are extremely rare, and can only be found inside an ocean relic, at the sponge room, or dropped from the Elder Guardian. Each of the aforementioned rooms holds an average of 30 wet sponges.

Each sponge can absorb up to 65 blocks of water before it needs to be dried to absorb more water. If the player wants to build an underwater base, getting a lot of sponges is a must.

Ancient Debris (Ancient Fragment)

Ancient shards are the main source of Netherite in the Minecraft world. It is a rare explosion-proof block found in the Nether, which can be melted into Netherite Scraps - the key ingredient to creating Netherite weapons.

They can be looted from chests in Bastion Remain or mined at levels y15 to y21. Players will need to use a diamond pickaxe to successfully mine this ore.

Due to its high explosion resistance, it is immune to normal explosions. In item form, it floats on lava and cannot be ignited by any form of fire. Due to its high durability, players often use TNT to mine Ancient Debris.

Emerald (Emerald)

Emeralds are the main currency for trading with Minecraft villagers, to buy rare items and useful materials. Because of their monetary value, Emeralds are indeed rare in the Overworld. The player can combine 9 pieces of emerald into one block, which can be used for storage and decoration.
