Rarity is a statistic applied to items, blocks and advancements[more information needed] to signify their value and ease in obtaining. The only effect rarity has on an item is the color with which their name appears when selected in the hotbar[1], moused over in the inventory or produced via the /give command (but not when viewed in an item frame[2] or as the contents of a shulker box[3]), and has no effect on gameplay whatsoever.
The only way to change an item's rarity is to enchant it, which brings its rarity to Rare from Common or Uncommon.
