DonutSMP WikiGameplay features and commands
DonutSMP's gameplay systems after the June 2026 update: spawners, shards, homes, random teleport, friends, bounties, the 2% tax and commands.
DonutSMP's Modrinth listing describes it as "a Minecraft Server where you try to become the best player by grinding to get loot and by fighting others" [1]. The listing tags it as a survival SMP with PvP, recommends Minecraft 1.21.11 and gives the region as US East [1].
Most details come from the fan-run Donutpedia wiki.
June 2026 update
In early June 2026 the server removed or changed many features. Donutpedia dates the update to June 3, 2026 [2]. A Minecraft Forum article gives June 2–3, 2026 [3].
Both sources list these changes [2][3]:
- Crates, the AFK lobby and AFK servers, spawn lobbies, the sell multiplier and duels were removed.
- The commands
/billford,/fly,/hide,/sellmulti,/spectate,/team,/warpand/worldwere removed. - Teams were replaced by Friends and Following.
- Random teleports became instant, with a 15-second cooldown.
- The Shard Shop is now opened through the
/ahor/ordersmenu. - The Donut++ and Donut+++ ranks were added.
The Minecraft Forum article also lists /shop as removed [3]. According to Donutpedia, the scoreboard now shows only balance, shards, kills, deaths and playtime, and the server switched from chest menus to the dialog screens added in Minecraft 1.21.6 [2].
Donutpedia's command list was last built on June 3, 2026 and still includes some of the removed commands, such as /team, /shop, /warp and /fly [4].
Spawners
According to Donutpedia, DonutSMP spawners do not spawn mobs. They produce mob drops, which you collect by right-clicking the spawner like a chest [5]. Donutpedia says the server uses a plugin called Smart Spawners [5].
Shift + right-clicking with a spawner of the same type stacks it into the placed one. This increases output but puts more value in one place, and many players hunt for bases to raid farms and stashes [5].
Donutpedia lists eight types [5]:
| Spawner | Drops |
|---|---|
| Pig | Raw porkchop |
| Cow | Raw beef |
| Spider | Spider eye, string |
| Zombified piglin | Gold nugget |
| Skeleton | Bone, arrow |
| Blaze | Blaze powder (not rods) |
| Creeper | Gunpowder |
| Iron golem | Iron ingot |
Before the June 2026 update, spawners cost 1,500 shards each in the Shard Shop [5][3]. The Minecraft Forum article says the Shard Shop no longer sells them, so spawners are now only traded between players [3].
The /medal command gives 3 skeleton spawners to players who have completed the medal quest [4].
The official rules ban using macros to collect or do anything in spawners, and auto-clicking spawners [6].
Shards
Shards are a second currency, separate from money [5][3]. /shards [player] shows how many shards you or another player have [4].
Before June 2026, shards were earned by idling in the AFK area [7][3]. The Minecraft Forum article gives the rate as 1 shard per minute there, plus 10 shards per player kill [3].
Both sources agree that AFK no longer earns shards [2][3]. They disagree on what replaced it:
- Donutpedia says shards can now only be bought with real money [2].
- The Minecraft Forum article says everyone earns 1 shard per 10 minutes of playtime, and that shards can also be bought from the official store [3].
The Minecraft Forum article also says shards cannot be paid to other players [3].
Before the update, the Shard Shop was a section of /shop and sold spawners and keys [7]. Since the update it is opened from the /ah or /orders menu, and according to Donutpedia many items from the old /shop can now be bought with shards [2]. The Minecraft Forum article lists shard prices for shard tools, a Haste potion and max-enchanted netherite gear [3].
Homes
/sethomecreates a home where you stand, in the next free slot [4]./home <id>teleports you to a home. With no id,/home(or/homes) opens a list of your homes [4]./delhome <id>deletes a home. The id can be a word or a number [4].
Before the June 2026 update, new players could set 2 homes [8][7]. According to the Fandom wiki, the update raised this to 3 for players without Donut+ [9]. Donutpedia's Donut+ page says the subscription raises the limit to 5, and that after it expires the extra homes can still be used but not changed [8]. Donut+ benefits changed in the June 2026 update [2].
Random teleport
/rtp <region> teleports you to a random place. With no region it opens a menu to pick one [4]. A February 2026 player blog says the menu offers the Overworld, the Nether and the End, and warns that some random teleports can drop you to bedrock [7]. Donutpedia's money-making guide also suggests /rtp for getting to the Nether [10]. Since June 2026, random teleports are instant with a 15-second cooldown [2][3].
Teams and friends
According to Donutpedia, teams were invite-only groups with their own home and private chat. The team owner managed members through a permissions system [11]. Teams and /team were removed in June 2026 [2][3].
They were replaced by a Friends and Following page [2]. /friend has the subcommands list, search, addsearch, following and followers. On its own, /friend works like /friend list [4]. Social settings can limit requests and messages to friends or to players you follow [2].
Bounties
/bounty <player>shows how much money is on a player's bounty. With no player it shows the bounty leaderboard [4]./bounty add <player> <amount>adds money to a player's bounty, taken from your own balance [4].
Bounties are not taxed [12].
Tax
Money moved through /pay, /ah and /orders is taxed at 2% [12]:
/pay: the sender pays the 2% on top. The other player gets exactly the amount typed./ah: listed prices already include the 2%, so the buyer pays it. The seller gets the full listing price./orders: the player placing the order pays the 2% on top when placing it, and gets it back if the order is cancelled./sell: the seller pays no tax.
Loot drops
Loot drops are not an official server feature. According to Donutpedia, they are giveaway events hosted by streamers, usually during a livestream, where valuable items are placed in an area for players to collect [13]. Hosts often use a spot under water so crystal PvP does not destroy the items. The host builds a platform above the water and turns on /tpauto, and players who teleport in fall through powdered snow into the water [13]. /tpauto automatically accepts teleport requests [4].

Rules that affect gameplay
The official rules ban hacked or modified clients that give an unfair advantage, including X-ray and ESP. They also ban auto-clickers, macros for the economy, farming or PvP, Baritone and similar automation, freecam, and item duplication [6]. Exchanging in-game items or services for real-world money is banned, and each person may use at most 5 accounts [6].
