Main Description

Food can now be salted to improve the taste and add nutrition.
Salting recipe is dynamic and controlled by "salt:can_be_salted" tag:
Several mods, such as Farmer's Delight, are supported out of the box.
Nutrition value can be configured per food.

Rock Salt

Rock Salt will generate underground (sililar to ores) in dripstone caves, ocean and beach biomes.
When harvested, Rock Salt Ore will drop Raw Rock Salt, which is crafted into Salt.
Salt can be also obtained by growing Salt Crystals or by evaporating water in a cauldron.

Other features

All Salt blocks are dissolvable in water.
Salt blocks will melt adjacent ice and snow blocks.
Ice and snow can also be melted by sprinkling them with salt.

The mod is highly configurable

Tags are used for everything.
All features can be turned off in a config.

Port-only options

Two opt-in toggles in salt-common.toml under [PortTweaks]:

BumpSpawnDensity (default false) — ~4 deposits per qualifying chunk instead of upstream's ~1 per 8 chunks
SaltBlockGravity (default false) — Salt Block falls like sand

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Salt: Renewed consumes the most tick time.
