Salt: Renewed

Initial release

NeoForge 1.21.1 port of mortuusars' Salt 1.20.1-1.2.6 (MIT).

Verified in play

• World gen: salt deposits generate in oceans, beaches, and dripstone caves
• Mining: pickaxe drops raw salt; Silk Touch drops the ore intact; Fortune affects raw salt
• Crafting: all 8 recipes work, including the Salting recipe with "Salted" overlay output
• Salt cauldron evaporation, salt cluster growth from dripstone drips, dispenser salt-on-ice melting
• AppleSkin: salted-food bonus shows in extra-info overlay
• JEI: Salt Crystal Growing and Salt Evaporation categories visible
• See PORT_NOTES.md for the full technical write-up

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.95+
• Java 21

Optional integrations

• JEI 19.0.0.0+
• AppleSkin 3.0.0+ (3.0.9+mc1.21 tested)

Port-author tweaks (config-gated, defaults match upstream)

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

Fixes

• Inverted ultraWarm() check in Melting.meltBlock corrected. Upstream's MELTING_PLACES_WATER config (default true) was effectively dead in the Overworld — salt blocks turned ice into air instead of water. Now correctly produces water everywhere except dimensions where it would evaporate.
