Use
Saltpeter Ore is only obtainable in Creative mode. When broken it drops 2 Saltpeter Chunks, which can be used as fertilizer and in making gunpowder . It can be successfully mined with your hand in all game modes except Adventure mode.

- Saltpeter is usually found close to the surface under a few layers of sand. It can also be found in shallow sandstone caves. Beaches, deserts, anywhere that harbors sandstone is a good place to look.
- To fertilize soil, simply tap it with the Saltpeter in hand.
