Is DonutSMP down right now?

When we checked on 13 November 2026, the mcsrvstat.us status checker showed both the Java address donutsmp.net and the Bedrock address donutsmp.net:19132 as online ^[1][2]. To check it yourself, enter donutsmp.net into a Minecraft server status checker such as mcsrvstat.us. You can also open the server's page on MineTracker, which pings servers several times an hour ^[1][3][4]. The official Discord is at discord.gg/donutsmp ^[5]. For join details, see Server Info.

How do I report a connection problem?

Use the "Technical support" category at support.donutsmp.net ^[6]. The site's FAQ asks you to run /whereami in-game and paste the full output into bug and connection tickets. The command shows which node and shard you are on ^[6]. The site says most tickets are answered within 24 to 48 hours ^[6].

Has DonutSMP had long outages?

The fan-run Fandom wiki says the server was down for about 12 hours to prepare for the June 2, 2026 update ^[7]. See Events and Controversies.

What is DonutSMP's uptime?

In November 2026, MineTracker showed 100% reachability over the last 30 days and listed no outage events ^[3]. Minecraft-MP said the server had 100% uptime over the last 25 days ^[8].

How many players are on DonutSMP?

On 13 November 2026, the Java status check showed 22,583 players online out of 50,000 slots ^[1]. The same day, MineTracker gave a 7-day peak of 31,147 and a 7-day average of about 17,610 ^[3]. The official GitHub organization describes DonutSMP as "a survival server that has more than 20,000 concurrent users active in a single world" ^[9]. More numbers are on History.

Is DonutSMP the biggest Minecraft server?

It depends on when you look:

• 24 September 2026: In a snapshot, Livecounts.nl recorded DonutSMP ahead of Hypixel by 29,633 players to 25,674. The same article says Hypixel passed DonutSMP later that day ^[10].
• January to May 2026: Minecraft Stats says DonutSMP drew more players than Hypixel every week from early January to late May 2026 ^[11].
• After the June 2026 update: DonutSMP's weekly average fell by about half. In July 2026, Minecraft Stats said it had slipped to third overall ^[11].
• 13 November 2026: MineTracker showed Hypixel at 27,077 and DonutSMP at 22,596. It ranked DonutSMP third, behind Hypixel and a server it flagged as "likely fake" ^[4].

What was DonutSMP's highest player count?

Fan wikis put the peak at about 60,000 concurrent players ^[12][13]. The Fandom wiki says DrDonut revealed on a stream that 15,000 of those were bot accounts using a proxy. That means the real human peak is not known ^[13].

How big is the DonutSMP map?

The fan-run Fandom wiki says the Overworld border is 225,000 blocks from 0,0 in each direction ^[14]. The wiki's World Border page lists the Nether at 57k by 57k and the End at 175k by 175k ^[15]. These figures come from a fan wiki, not an official source. The same wiki says the world is small for the number of players, so most bases are found and raided within days, weeks or a month ^[13]. See PvP, Bases and Raiding.

When is the border expansion?

No date has been confirmed. A U4N article updated on 13 November 2026 says the expansion is listed as upcoming but has no confirmed release date ^[16]. The Fandom wiki says the border will grow to 30 million blocks in each direction. It adds that the YouTuber W1zox said on a July 24, 2026 stream that the expansion should come within the next 2 years ^[14]. The same wiki says DrDonutt named the cost of the servers for the expansion as the main reason the Shard Shop and other paid features were added ^[14].

Will item prices drop after the border expands?

Fan wikis expect the prices of limited items to fall once the bigger world opens, but this is only a prediction ^[13][14]. For current buy-order prices, donutorders.com lists the top in-game /orders price at each scan, for example for elytra ^[17]. See Economy.

What is the DonutSMP seed? Is it public?

No source shows that the seed has been published. The official rules say: "Do not try to discover or use the server's world seed to gain advantages." The rules also ban any use of seed information, whether you got it directly or indirectly ^[18]. See Rules.

What regions does DonutSMP have?

The fan-run Donutpedia wiki lists six public regions, which you reach with /rtp ^[19]:

• United States (East)
• United States (West)
• Asia
• Oceania
• Europe (Central)
• Europe (West)

Each region owns a slice of the playable world, and the size of the slice depends on how many players use that region ^[19]. Typing /rtp without a region opens a selection menu ^[20].

Where are the DonutSMP servers located?

Donutpedia lists these region locations ^[19]:

• US East: Ashburn, Virginia
• US West: Hillsboro, Oregon
• Asia: Singapore
• Oceania: Sydney, Australia
• Europe Central: Frankfurt, Germany
• Europe West: unknown

The Nether and the End are hosted on the NA East region ^[19][13]. Modrinth lists the server's region as US East, and Minecraft-MP lists the server as located in the United States ^[21][8].

How do I get to spawn or the lobby?

The June 2026 update removed the spawn lobbies and the AFK lobby ^[22][7]. Random teleports are now instant, and the Fandom wiki says teleports to homes are also instant ^[22][7]. See Gameplay Features.

Does the DonutSMP world reset?

Not on a schedule. The fan-run donutsmp.wiki says Season 1 ended because of "an overinflated economy and duping," and calls Season 2 "the current, permanent season" ^[12]. The Fandom wiki says DrDonutt has stated that Season 2 will be here forever and that Season 3 will not happen in the near future ^[23].

What version and address does DonutSMP use?

The address is donutsmp.net for both Java and Bedrock, and Bedrock answers on port 19132 ^[21][2]. On 13 November 2026, the Java status check reported the version range 1.7.2-26.3. Modrinth recommends Java 1.21.11 ^[1][21]. Full instructions are on Server Info.
