Okay, so basically, saltpeter ore is twice as rare as coal, and spawns in the same locations. When you mine it with a stone pickaxe, it drops one saltpeter. You can craft saltpeter with charcoal to make gunpowder (1 saltpeter + 1 charcoal = 2 gunpowder).
saltpetre* just to clear things up for people who want to look it up. It's just another word for potassium nitrate.
Gunpowder is already relatively simple to obtain through the likes of killing witches, creepers and ghasts, and looting dungeon chests.This suggestion just makes the item, in my opinion, unnecessarily easy to get.
Err wow seriously? If you can't find Creepers at night, you either left peaceful mode on or your game is possessed. No point in another ore just for that...

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
Actually, I always lock it on hard and I still can't find a reasonable number of creepers. Also, that's still only at night, which was part of the problem.

I do. However, not very many of those monsters are creepers, and when I do meet a creeper, it's hard to move around in caves in a way that lets you hit the creeper and back away enough that it won't explode (I pretty much never use a bow). Therefore, spelunking does not help much.
I could support this if it was a little more useful. At the moment, its only purpose is to craft a common item that can be obtained in other simple ways. Maybe if it could also be used to craft something unique?
I can safely say that I've never needed loads and loads of gunpowder, and even if I did, a few nights of hunting with Looting III or a mob farm would be more efficient than cluttering my inventory with another item that serves no unique purpose.

Make a customized world and set the dungeon count to 100 (max limit) and then go dungeon searching and you'll get allot of gunpowder, and i also should mention the creeper spawners and creepers and witches you'll find along the way

Use multi-quote. It's painful seeing four posts in a row.
Creeper spawners don't exist, because the dev's realized the spawning creepers have a chance of blowing up their spawners.

Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

What's the point of it? Gunpowder is far too easy to get.

You mean the mobs that only spawn randomly, and not very often, at night and in the nether?

You don't go cave exploring?

Isn't this already in a mod? Even search it.

You can find them at day from the night before, because they don't burn in daylight.

Your just trying to come up with excuses when you reply to people, get over it, there's no use for saltpeter.
Why did you say you can only smelt it with charcoal, don't say you didn't, your post sais smelt it with charcoal.
