# Salt

**Salt** is the [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) obtained from [salt blocks](@better_mcdonalds_mod:salt_block) used for crafting.

## Obtaining

### Mining

Salt can be obtained from [salt blocks](@better_mcdonalds_mod:salt_block) using any item, but [shovels](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Shovel) are the quickest. When a salt block is broken with a regular tool, it drops 2–4 salt. The [Fortune](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fortune) enchantment increases the average amount of salt dropped, though it does not increase the maximum. If broken with a tool enchanted with [Silk Touch](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Silk_Touch), the [salt block](@better_mcdonalds_mod:salt_block) drops itself instead.
