When [[rock]] blocks are broken using a [[pickaxe]], rock, small stones or ores contained in chunks of stone will be dropped. The challenge is in finding the ore-containing rocks. As of game version 1.9, certain ore types only spawn in certain [[rock]] types. To determine which ores can occur in a rock type, examine a block, hold shift + H, and the handbook will provide information about what ores can appear in that [[rock]] type. For more information about natural deposits and ore generation, see the [[Ore Deposits]] page. | When [[rock]] blocks are broken using a [[pickaxe]], rock, small stones or ores contained in chunks of stone will be dropped.

If you are in an area with at least one [[ | If you are in an area with at least one [[Rock#Sedimentary_rocks|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. | A salt dome starts at the sedimentary layer and goes down to mantle level.
