Rare items in Minecraft?

Question

What are the rare materials/drops in Minecraft? I'm talking about things you might never find, except perhaps in chests near mob spawners, or by some convoluted collection process.

I already know about saddles, records and slime balls. What other rarities am I missing?

Answer

Rare Items

  • Saddles, Apples - Only found in chests in dungeons.
  • Feather, Pork, Leather, Gunpowder, Slime balls - Only dropped by killing specific mobs
  • Record - Supposedly only gained by tricking skeleton into shooting a creeper with its arrow. However, I've obtained one by killing a creeper with my own bow/arrow before. Also found in dungeon chests.

Rare Blocks

  • Clay - Rare block (this is a bug) used to make bricks. Found near water.
  • Obsidian - Obviously. Impervious to explosion. Only found when flowing water meets still lava.
  • Mossy Cobblestone - Only/always found in dungeons

Other

  • Bedrock/Adminium - Cannot be mined, found at bottom of map. Must be spawned through console to place.
  • Sponge, Gear - Cannot be found or made. Must be spawned through console.
