Halite rock and sylvite in halite.

A simple diagram of how halite spawns in sedimentary layers. The top of the dome will stick out above the bottommost sedimentary layer, so it can be most readily found via horizontal mining

La piedra halita sólo puede encontrarse en capas sedimentarias. La halita se forma en forma de domo salino o de lago seco. Las formaciones de halita de lago seco sólo pueden aparecer en un bioma desértico en capas de roca sedimentaria. Las piedras de halita pueden obtenerse rompiendo piedras de halita superficiales, extrayendo rocas de halita o rompiendo espeleotermas de halita. Silvita, el mineral de la potasa, puede encontrarse dentro de capas de halita.

Mining Sedimentary Rock Layers

You can use the prospecting pick to find Halite the same way you can find metal ore. See Mining or the Guide:Prospecting for more information.

If you are in an area with at least one sedimentary layer (except bauxite ) use the main Prospecting Pick mode (Density Mode, being the only one that shows halite readings). If you find any halite readings, it might be an area prone to spawn a halite deposit known as a "Salt Dome". Find the area with the best readings and around, and go caving or making vertical tunnels until you are in the bottommost sedimentary rock layer, or in the first rock layer that's not sedimentary. Then, go making horizontal tunnels in that level, following the rock type you're in. Once you find a pink rock, that's it, eureka!

A salt dome starts at the sedimentary layer and goes down to mantle level. It has so much salt that you might share it with other people and never run out, if in Multiplayer. In Singleplayer, once you find it, you won't need to search for a second time.

Sedimentary rocks that might have domes: chalk, chert, claystone, conglomerate, limestone, sandstone and shale. Halite doesn't spawn in bauxite layers, but check below bauxite rock layers to be sure there isn't other sedimentary rocks.

In Deserts

Deserts have an average temperature between 15°C and 40°C and "Rarely" or "Very Rare" rainfall.

They also frequently have cow skulls, hyenas or cactuses. Look below the dirt/gravel/sand; it is few layers of halite like 2 or 3 blocks below the dirt/gravel/sand, at most. The deposit might provide you several stacks, but it might run out pretty quickly. This is what is called a "Dry lake salt bed".

You won't have propick readings to guide you; spawning is random in deserts only.

Sal

El principal uso de la halita es molerla para obtener sal utilizando un molino. Con un trozo de halita se obtienen dos porciones de sal.

La sal se utiliza para conservar alimentos. Puede prolongar la vida útil de las carnes mediante el curado en sal, o de las verduras mediante el encurtido. Ambos métodos de conservación requieren un barril.
