Sulfur And Potassium - More Gunpowder
Latest Mod version [2.3.0] changelog:
+ Added Ore Generation config (located in /.minecraft/config/sulfurpotassiummod-common.toml)
* Fixed sulfur and potassium not spawning in certain biomes such as desert and savannah and a few more
------------------------------------------------------------
Sulfur and Potassium - More Gunpowder
This mod adds two new blocks to Minecraft: Sulfur Ore and Potassium Ore.
It is meant to be a vanilla friendly way to craft more gunpowder.
- Sulfur drops raw sulfur. It can be found in both overworld and nether. It has a higher spawn rate in the nether.
- Potassium drops blocks, just like iron, and can be smelted into raw potassium. It can only be found in the overworld
- With raw sulfur and potassium can you can then make gunpowder!
Feel free to use it any mod pack, not guaranteed compatibility with all mods
Check out my other mods:
- Well Fed - Craft stronger food: eat less often because you combine different foods to make one big
- Enhanced Mob Spawners - Adds harvest and ability to retrieve Monster Egg from Mob Spawners

Coffee Tip Jar - Best way of supporting me and my mods.
Thanks for playing with my mods and for the coffee!
It would be really nice to have a way to produce these without mining them, as irl you can get sulfur and potassium nitrate from other sources. (Check out Cody's Lab on YouTube. He had a few videos showing how you could make gunpowder yourself in a dire situation.)
Another random thought, it would be neat if these ores would be very rare normally and be more common in specific biomes like emerald.
You're probably not interested in being too realistic, but here's a suggestion. Gunpowder is also made with charcoal, I googled these ratios: potassium (75% by weight), charcoal (15% by weight), and sulfur (10% by weight). You maybe could approximate something like this but using a shapeless recipe with 3 potassium, 1 sulfur and 1 charcoal? Or something like that.
EDIT: I don't know why random sections of this are bold...
In reply to bwhistler:
Yea I see your point. When I created this mod I kinda made it too fast which resulted in no charcoal and ever since, it has stayed like that.
I don't think I would implement your idea with the different ratios just to keep it simple. Best would be either have all three ingedients make x3 Gunpower or just x2 (charcoal included). How about that?
In reply to br4nder5:
That would be cool. Neat mod anyways!
In reply to bwhistler:
To add to this, gunpowder isn't made with straight potassium. It's made using Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) also known as Saltpeter.
¡Love this mod! uwu thnx!
Excuse me, is there any chance that you will make this Mod compatible with these ?: Underground Biomes and Geolosys.
Sorry for my bad english, but I'm using Google Translate to translate this message.
In reply to TheLeTony:
In that case, I must congratulate Google... This is some solid translating
Hey I love your mod idea, but if I could...
Can we add Charcoal to the recipe? This makes more realistic, usable traditional black (gun)powder.
This is obviously a silly addition as It adds a step, but also could make two recipes... A regular Sulfur & Potassium recipe to make 1 gunpowder. Plus a Sulfur, Potassium, and charcoal recipe to make 2 gunpowder.
I say this because Potassium is the oxidizer while Sulfur isn't exactly the fuel in the reaction, Sulfur is in the real recipe to make the Potassium and charcoal more receptive to heat.. thus reacting. This means the real, basic recipe is different than just Sulfur and Potassium- and I won't go into it because there's "people" who might wink at the possibility of having access to a traditional, legal, yet highly dangerous mixture.
Thanks buddy!

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'm in Savannah or Dessert biomes the ore does not spawn to my knowledge.
Hey there, I'm on 1.14.4 and I love the idea... but the worldgen spawn is outta control! Haha. The surface seems very well balanced, but could we get a config to enable/disable underground worldgen, and nether? It's all over the place. I'd love to have an option that is just surface, or modify the percentage. Your concept did inspire me to think it'd be really cool to have a mob drop mod that requires you to find two or three materials around the world to make more mob drops. Just a thought if you felt inspired to add to it. Anyway, thanks for the work!
Hi!
I cant seem to find any potassium, where does it spawn? is it a certain level or biome?
In reply to silverwolf_1999:
In the latest 1.14 version it spawns on all levels in every biome
can you add the block of sulfur and pottasium to 1.12.2?
I suggest adding blocks from these materials :)
In reply to mintstel121:
If you have the latest version block of sulfur and potassium exists.
aside from tnt, i ill wait until theres mods adding like flintlock for this .....
actually, this can help mining a whole lot now if you think abt it
you should add blocks of this minerals, is a reccomendation
Those textures look so nice! They fit vanilla Minecraft perfectly.
