There are several banner patterns in Minecraft that add more detailed designs to banners. Some of them are quite rare simply because their crafting ingredients are difficult to come across. One of the rarest banner patterns is called the 'Thing', which uses an enchanted golden apple.

As players know, enchanted golden apples are ultra-useful in dire situations as they add eight more hearts and offer powerful status effects. Hence, hardly anyone will waste one of these items on creating a banner pattern, automatically making the 'Thing' rare.

Players can eat all kinds of food to replenish their health and hunger; however, there are a few magical delicacies that can give them superpowers. The enchanted golden apple falls in this category. This item is one of the rarest in the entire game and can only be found in a handful of chests.

When a player eats an enchanted golden apple, it can instantly replenish the health bar and add eight extra hearts as well. Additionally, several positive status effects are applied to the gamer when they consume the item, making them more powerful in critical situations and during combat.

When players defeat the Ender Dragon, they complete the main storyline of the game. As a reward, they are given about 12 thousand XP points, which are dropped by the intimidating entity itself. Moreover, a special dragon egg will spawn in the middle of the bedrock fountain. This item is arguably the rarest one in the game, simply because players cannot get a second egg in the same world, even if gamers spawn and kill more dragons.
