Rare rewards from bosses and exploration

Totems of Undying come from evokers, Sponges are associated with ocean monuments, and Tridents come from eligible drowned. Some are scarce, while others become repeatable with specialized farms.
Archaeology and treasure materials
Echo Shards come from ancient-city chests; eight shards plus a compass make a Recovery Compass. Heavy Core comes from ominous trial chamber vaults and is used for a mace. Sniffer Eggs appear in warm-ocean ruins archaeology. Disc Fragments (5) can be found in ancient cities; nine fragments make a music disc. Netherite Upgrade templates appear in bastion remnants.
Curated, not every rare item
'Rare' depends on world seed, difficulty, edition and farming techniques. This list deliberately covers 15 distinctive goals, not every obscure rarity or all blocks. It does not duplicate the complete armor trims or music discs catalogs.
Save your own treasure hunt
Select the items relevant to your current survival world and mark each after obtaining it. Having an Enchanted Golden Apple is a collection goal here; eating one for the separate food advancement is a different task.
