Rarest block in Minecraft?

I know the rarest block, but do you know which one it is?

I've only heard once that pumpkins are rarer than diamonds, which makes sense because they're only found in one biome. But that can be wrong again, it's been a long time since I heard that 😊

There are many, but one of the possibilities would be the "unknown" block. This can only be created with / setblock. It looks like a block of earth, only it says "update" in green

Then there are light blocks, command blocks, jigsaw and and and…

So actually it's a pig pawner with a chance of 1: 240 quadrillion

Wow that's awesome

And then it depends on the mc version, bedrock or java, mine was for bedrock

The rarest block is the end portal. And no, I'm not talking about the framework.

In a Minecraft world there are only 128 strongholds, each with an end portal. There are 9 end portal blocks per Stronghold. Otherwise there's a portal with 20 end portal blocks at the end. This gives a total of 1172 end portal blocks per Minecraft world. This means that end portal blocks are the rarest block in Minecraft (provided you do not include blocks that can only be set or obtained by command).

That is theoretically correct. In practice, the generation of pig spawners is a world generation glitch, which is why I don't know whether to count them.

It's really interesting, learned something again. But why glitch? 😊

What can the jigsaw block do?

Pig spawners shouldn't actually generate in a Minecraft world. However, if the generation of a Minecraft world generates a buried box (the one you can find with treasure maps), all the air blocks around the box will be replaced with the block that will be replaced by the generation of the treasure chest. So if a treasure chest is generated in a mesa biome in the same location as a cave spider spawner, spawners will be placed around the chest. Since the NBT data, which determine which mob should be spawned, is not copied, the standard mob is used. These are pigs. Such a combination is only possible in a mesa biome, since only there mine shafts can be generated high enough.

Thanks for the explanation, that sounds really very interesting😊 good to know!

I just remembered another one, the end gateway block is one of the rarest, as it can't be placed with / give or / setblock. Only / clone helps.

But since you can spawn a portal per ender dragon kill, this endgateway block would be available more often.

But under the ender crystals there's a bedrock block. And under that llock is a… Block? Entity? One bedrock level. It can't be targeted and is destroyed by the crystal explosion. He is not teleportable, not spawnable, nothing at all.

Cool, I didn't even know that 😊
