I want to make Saltpeter, and Cracked Sand can give me a lot. Is there any other way to generate it or to get Saltpeter?
Is there a way to generate Cracked Sand?

Are you trying to make forestry fertilizer? As far as i know, there isn't a way to generate cracked sand, but if you have Gregtech installed, you can use potassium + nitrogen + compressed air recipe to make saltpeter.
To get the cells, simply put enderpearls from an ender ender into your preferred method for grinding, and put the dust into an industrial electrolyzer with some cells. That will get you the potassium and the nitrogen. Just put cells in a compressor to get the compressed air cells.

Also make sure to use a electric crafting table for the final combine that way you get to keep the cells as a normal crafting table will eat them.
Like ICanHazCookie suggested, set up some Sludge Boilers from MFR.
Set up a couple working MFR Harvesters (wheat farms, tree farms, whatever), provide them power (EU or MJ), then set up a liquid pipe to dump the sludge they produce into powered Sludge Boilers - the sludge boilers will create a ton of materials - Dirt, Clay, Sand, Mycellium, Cracked Sand, and Quicksand (maybe even Soul Sand I can't remember). I've have a extra-dimensional barrel filling up with Cracked Sand and I don't even have the biome for it enabled in my config. Just make sure you're ready for the influx of materials; I suggest at least a Deep Storage Unit for all the clay you'll get, it's a little insane...
Keep in mind though, the Sludge Boilers will poison you while they're working if you're nearby. Keep them tucked back somewhere underground.

Saltpeter can also found in Vanilla Deserts. When you found some, dig to Bedrock, there are "Saltpeter Spawner" in the Bedrock (and look like Bedrock). You can move them with a Portelgun or breack it with the Rightclick of a Vajra!
But Saltpeter sill only spawn in Sand and when Sand is on top and bottom of it. You can use a Filler to Fill it with Sand and a Quarry to Dig it out again (cant break the Spawner Block)
PS: I dont know in which Version these things where Added. ultimate 1.0.2 have them)
