Saltpeter is a mineral that can be found underground.
Location
Saltpeter can be found as a coating on the surface of other rock types. It cannot be found through prospecting, and must be discovered through caving or other means. Breaking a saltpeter coating drops a chunk of saltpeter powder.
Usage
Saltpeter, along with sulfur and coal, is used to create ore blasting bombs. It can also be directly applied to farmland as fertilizer, adding 13% N and 33% K to each block per use.
