Talk:Gunpowder

Getting strategies
Ok, you can get gunpowder from Creepers and Ghasts. Why would you want to get them from Ghasts who randomly (and seemingly rarely) spawn next to portals? If you really want gunpowder, you're better off making a grinder or just hunting creepers. --JonTheMon 16:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

False Trivia Info
I am currently playing in the beta 1.9 pre-release and I've been getting Gunpowerder more often than Ghast Tears. Can this be removed because from what I've seen, that isn't true. MrLeonov 04:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

So how do you make a grinder?--Mudpenguin &gt;;) 20:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, the longest article on this wiki would be Tutorials/Mob Farm. --JonTheMon 20:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Sulfur or Sulphur
Which is the correct spelling? Obviously "sulfur" is the modernised version, but can anyone verify that it was used in-game? Legoless 01:24, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems this has been cleaned up. The correct spelling was "sulphur", apparently. Legoless 00:02, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, in game it is called "Gunpowder". Sulphur is the yellow element that gunpowder is made from. Perhaps Notch or Jeb could impliment Sulphur and Salt so you could craft gunpowder, because it was originally made out of coal, sulphur and saltpeter.
