DonutSMP WikiRules, Bans and Appeals (FAQ)
Short answers on DonutSMP alts, macros, AFK, real-money trading, duping, allowed mods and voice chat, ban lengths, appeals, support and reporting players, as of November 2026.
Where are the official DonutSMP rules?
The rules are at rules.donutsmp.net. As of November 2026 the page says it was last updated on November 11, 2026 [1]. The Terms of Service at tos.donutsmp.net, last updated April 8, 2026, repeat many of the same bans [2]. The full breakdown is on the Rules page.
Can you use alts on DonutSMP? How many accounts can you have?
Yes, up to a point. Each person may use at most 5 accounts, and using several accounts to gain an unfair advantage is not allowed [1][2]. Using alts to get around a punishment is banned [1]. The Terms of Service say punishments "may extend to associated accounts" [2].
Are macros and auto-clickers allowed?
No. The rules ban macros for the economy (such as selling items automatically or running commands over and over), for farming (including mob grinding and "anything in spawners") and for PvP (repeating click patterns, or triggering actions with a single keypress) [1]. Auto-clickers that attack entities, break blocks continuously or click spawners are banned. So are Baritone and similar tools for auto-pathing, auto-mining or auto-building [1]. The Terms of Service also ban "macros, scripts, auto-clickers, mouse tweaks, or scrollers" [2].
Is AFKing allowed on DonutSMP?
As of November 2026, the official rules have no rule about simply being AFK [1]. What they ban is automation, such as farming macros, auto-clickers and Baritone-style tools [1]. A Change.org petition from February 25, 2026 objected to "a new rule that prevents players from AFKing on their alts" [3]. According to a Minecraft Forum article, the AFK Zone stopped giving shards after the June 2026 update [4]. More on that in Events and Controversies.
Can you sell DonutSMP items or money for real money?
No. The rules say "Exchanging in-game items or services for real-world money, goods, services, or rewards is forbidden" [1]. The Terms of Service ban real-money trading and buying or selling accounts, items, currency, services or access outside official DonutSMP channels [2]. Cross-server trading is banned too [1][2]. Selling schematics or mods for in-game money is treated as IRL trading [1].
How do I sell items legally and see what they are worth?
Sell them in game for in-game money. You can fill other players' orders in /orders ("Whoever fills the order gets paid") or list items on the auction house at a price you set [4]. The fan site DonutOrders shows live prices taken from the in-game /orders, with the order book and price history for each item [5]. See the Economy page for how the market works.
Is duping allowed? What happens to dupers?
No. The rules ban duplicating items, or trying to, "using bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics" [1]. The Terms of Service ban "attempted or successful item duplication" [2]. Bugs and exploits must be reported [1][2], and the rules say not reporting them can lead to punishment [1]. The fan-run Donutpedia wiki says punishments for duping "typically include a mute, temporary bans, and player data wipes" [6]. The fan-run donutsmp.wiki says "Season 1 ended due to an overinflated economy and duping" [7]. See History.
Which mods and clients are allowed on DonutSMP?
The rules have no list of allowed mods. They ban "hacked clients, modified Minecraft clients, or mods that give unfair advantages" [1]. Bans named in the rules include ESP and X-ray, radar minimaps, freecam, health indicators, Mouse Tweaks and inventory scrollers, auto-place and easy-place tools, and crafting modifications [1]. A regular minimap is allowed as long as it does not show entities, players or cave layers [1].
Can you use X-ray or freecam?
No. The rules ban ESP and X-ray, including anything that highlights ores, makes blocks transparent or reveals structures, and they ban freecam [1]. The Terms of Service ban "radar, ESP, or freecam" [2]. Finding or using the world seed is banned too [1][2]. See PvP, Bases and Raiding.
Does DonutSMP have voice chat? Which mod do you need?
Yes. The rules have a Proximity Voice Mod section [1]. In a tutorial posted on October 9, 2024, the official Donut SMP YouTube channel says to install the Fabric loader plus the Fabric API and Simple Voice Chat mods, then join Donut SMP and pick your microphone and headphone devices [8]. The voice chat rules allow basic curse words but no slurs. They ban boosting your mic or making disruptive noise "to unbearable levels", and they allow all languages [1].
Is griefing or stealing allowed?
As of November 2026, neither the rules nor the Terms of Service ban griefing, stealing or killing [1][2]. DonutSMP's server listing on Discord Bot List says "Griefing, stealing, and killing are all allowed" [9]. Using cheats such as ESP, X-ray or the world seed to find bases is still banned [1].
How long are bans on DonutSMP?
The rules do not list ban lengths [1]. Punishments can be warnings, mutes, temporary bans or permanent bans, and "Staff have final discretion on all punishments" [1]. Two offences are named as permanent. Ratting (trying to get into another player's account, computer or data) is a permanent ban, and phishing for Minecraft accounts or personal information is a permanent blacklist [1]. Your ban ID is shown on the disconnect screen when you try to join [10].
How do I appeal a DonutSMP ban?
Open a "Punishment appeal" ticket at support.donutsmp.net. It covers "a ban, mute or other sanction" and asks which punishment you are appealing, why it should be lifted, and your version and platform [10]. You sign in with Discord or Google, and you have to link your Minecraft account first [10]. If you are banned, join link.donutsmp.net in Minecraft to get a code, then enter it at verify.donutsmp.net [10]. Include your ban ID exactly as it appears on the disconnect screen [10].
How long does a ban appeal take?
The support site says most tickets are reviewed within 24–48 hours, and appeals "can take a little longer on weekends" [10]. You can follow your ticket in the "My Tickets" list [10]. The Terms of Service say "All enforcement decisions are final unless explicitly stated otherwise" [2].
Can I still play if I'm muted?
Yes. The support site says mutes only block chat, and you can submit a Punishment Appeal if you think a mute was unfair [10].
How do I contact DonutSMP support?
Use support.donutsmp.net [10]. As of November 2026 the ticket categories are Technical support, Store & purchases, Account linking, Punishment appeal, Map art appeal, Media application, Privacy & data, and Other [10]. Store tickets ask for your Tebex ID, and bug and connection tickets ask for the output of /whereami [10]. The official Discord is discord.gg/donutsmp [11][8]. See Owner and Staff.
Can I get items back that I lost to a bug?
You can open a Technical support ticket. It asks what happened and when, your version and platform, and your /whereami output, and it needs a video for lost items [10]. The Terms of Service say DonutSMP "is not responsible for losses resulting from bans, item removal, or server changes" [2].
How do I report a player or a hacker?
The rules ask players to report bugs, glitches and staff-related issues [1]. The fan-run Donutpedia rule list also says to report cheaters [6]. Donutpedia's command list says /report "only works during duels", and that other reports go through DonutSMP's Discord server [12]. Duels were removed in the June 2026 update [4].
Can I pretend to be staff or offer rewards for Discord boosts?
No. Pretending to be staff is banned [1][2]. In-game rewards for Discord boosts, invites, follows or promotions are banned. Giveaways are allowed as long as they are not used to abuse or get around the rules [1].
