I have no idea how to get salt. There is no tutorials or anything on how the FUCK to get salt. How THE FUCK DO YOU GET SALT?

if you use the very latest 1.17 version you can also smelt the water bottles that were added.

What exactly do you mean the 1.17 version?

Like minecraft or version of croptopia

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/croptopia-fabric/files/3342562 is the version that includes water bottles giving salt

How do I get salt naturally? I understand it spawns in rivers but I have been looking for salt for 2 days in many rivers and still haven't found any. How do I get it naturally on a younger version.

You need to keep searching in rivers, it's just not as common in versions before 1.17
