Bounties

The /bounty commands on DonutSMP, who gets a bounty, and how bounties relate to the 2% tax announced in November 2026.

Commands

The fan-run Donutpedia wiki lists two bounty commands. Every player can use both [1]:

CommandWhat it does
/bounty <player>Shows how much money is on that player's bounty. If you leave out the player, it shows the bounty leaderboard [1]
/bounty add <player> <amount>Adds money to that player's bounty. The money comes out of your own balance [1]

Placing and collecting a bounty

You place a bounty with /bounty add, and the amount comes out of your balance [1]. According to DonutOrders, a fan-run price tracker, the player who kills the target collects the full bounty [2].

Player kills no longer give shards. A Minecraft Forum article on the economy after the June 2-3, 2026 update says kills used to give 10 shards each and now give none [3]. See Shards, ranks and the store.

Bounties and the 2% tax

On November 11, 2026, DonutSMP announced "a 2% tax on every transaction on the server". DonutOrders posted a write-up on November 12, 2026 and updated it on November 13 [2]. It covers these actions [2]:

ActionWho pays the 2%
/payThe sender, on top of the amount [2]
/ah (Auction House)The buyer. The tax is already in the price shown [2]
/orders (placing a buy order)The player placing the order, on top. It is refunded if the order is cancelled [2]
/sell into ordersNo one [2]
Bounty payoutNo one. DonutOrders says bounties are not taxed [2]

DonutOrders tested /pay, /ah, /orders and /sell in-game. It did not test bounties, so the bounty result is only its statement [2].

For more on the tax and money in general, see Economy and Gameplay features. The full write-up is on DonutOrders.
