* Saltpeter can generate at or below 80% of {{ll|https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Ore_Deposits#Sea_level|sealevel}} (which depends on the worldHeight).  It's equally likely to generate at elevation Y 1 as at Y 71 (0 ± 0.8<ref>Line 11 of %AppData%\Roaming\ Vintagestory\assets\survival\worldgen\deposits\mineralore\saltpeter.json</ref>). Therefore, a player can expect to find no saltpeter until below elevation Y 88.

Breaking a saltpeter coating drops a chunk of saltpeter powder. A hand works but a {{ll|shovel|shovel}} is the most effective tool for mining saltpeter.
