DonutSMP WikiRules and Punishments
What the official DonutSMP rules and Terms of Service ban, including cheats, macros, alts, real-money trading and chat, plus how punishments, support tickets and appeals work, as of November 2026.
Overview
DonutSMP publishes its rules at rules.donutsmp.net. The page says it was last updated on November 11, 2026, and that rules "may be updated/changed at any time" [1]. A separate Terms of Service at tos.donutsmp.net, last updated April 8, 2026, repeats many of the same bans and covers enforcement [2].
After an opening Important Notice, the rules page has five sections [1]:
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Chat & Communication | In-game chat, plus rules on donation teleports |
| Appearance, Naming, Builds & Maps | Skins, names, builds, map art, chests and signs |
| Proximity Voice Mod | Voice chat |
| Gameplay & Client | Mods, cheats, macros, alts, trading |
| Discord | The official Discord server |
Griefing, stealing and PvP
Neither the rules page nor the Terms of Service bans griefing, stealing or killing other players [1][2]. DonutSMP's Discord server listing on Discord Bot List describes it as "a Hardcore Minecraft SMP Server where griefing and stealing is ALLOWED!" and says "Griefing, stealing, and killing are all allowed" [3].
Cheats that help find bases are banned. The ESP/X-ray rule lists tools that "can reveal caves, mineshafts, underground structures and bases" [1].
Clients, mods and cheats
The Gameplay & Client section bans [1]:
- Hacked clients, modified clients and movement mods.
- ESP and X-ray.
- Radar minimaps that reveal entities, players or caves. A regular minimap is allowed as long as it does not show entities, players or cave layers.
- Health indicators that show a player's or mob's health when vanilla does not.
- Freecam.
- Mouse Tweaks and inventory scrollers.
- Auto-place and easy-place tools.
- Crafting modifications, such as automatic or bulk crafting.
The Terms of Service also ban "modifications that provide unfair advantages" and "radar, ESP, or freecam" [2].
Macros and automation
The rules ban [1]:
- Macros or scripts that influence the economy, farming or PvP.
- Auto-clickers.
- Baritone or similar automation tools, such as auto-pathing, auto-mining or auto-building.
The Terms of Service list "macros, scripts, auto-clickers, mouse tweaks, or scrollers" as banned [2].
Bugs, duplication and the seed
- Item duplication and attempted duplication are banned [1][2].
- Bugs and glitches must be reported [1][2]. The rules page adds that failing to report bugs, glitches or staff-related issues "may result in a possible punishment" [1].
- Finding or using the server's world seed is banned [1][2].
Alts and accounts
- Each person may use at most five accounts [1][2].
- Using alts to get around mutes or bans is banned, in game and on Discord [1].
- "Ratting", any attempt to gain access to another player's account, computer or personal data, results in a permanent ban [1].
- Pretending to be staff is banned [1][2].
Real-money trading and outside deals
The rules and the Terms of Service ban [1][2]:
- Real-money (IRL) trading.
- Cross-server trading.
- External gambling.
- In-game rewards for Discord boosts.
The rules page also bans in-game rewards for Discord invites, follows or promotions. Giveaways are allowed as long as they are not used to abuse or bypass rules [1].
The Terms of Service ban buying or selling accounts, items, currency, services or access outside official DonutSMP channels [2]. Any such deal through third-party platforms is banned "unless explicitly authorized by DonutSMP in writing" [2].
In chat, promoting IRL-trading servers or hack tools is banned. Selling schematics or mods for in-game money "will result in IRL-Trading ban" [1].
Donation teleports
Streamers may teleport to players who donate, under these rules [1]:
- Donations must not be advertised as a guaranteed way to get teleported.
- Donors who are teleported to must not get anything extra.
- Offering a teleport for a specific donation amount counts as IRL trading.
- Redeeming streaming-platform bits for items or teleports is not allowed.
Chat and voice
The chat rules ban [1]:
- Bypassing the chat filter, including through signs or commands.
- Spam and flooding.
- Cursing; chat is to be kept PG.
- Harassment, bullying and threats.
- Racism, hate speech and discriminatory language.
- Death threats and suicide encouragement.
- Excessive toxicity.
- Illegal and adult content.
- Advertising outside the correct channels.
Politics and religion are described as "not appropriate for this community". Sharing personal information about yourself, others or made-up people is not allowed, and neither is trying to get it from other players [1].
In proximity voice chat, basic curse words are allowed but slurs are not. Boosting your microphone or making disruptive noise "to unbearable levels" is banned. All languages are allowed [1].
Skins, builds, names, item names, map art, chests and signs must not be offensive, explicit or discriminatory [1].
Discord rules
The Discord section bans [1]:
- Spam.
- Harassment, discrimination and hate speech.
- Threats of violence or harm, "even as a joke".
- Sharing others' personal information without permission.
- Staff impersonation.
- Evading bans or timeouts.
- Low-quality forum posts.
- Promoting other servers or third-party websites outside the #promote channel.
Phishing for Minecraft accounts or personal information "will result in a permanent blacklist" [1].
Punishments
The rules page lists warnings, mutes, temporary bans and permanent bans as possible punishments, and says "Staff have final discretion on all punishments" [1]. It treats all threats as serious: "We do not differentiate between serious and unserious threats." Joking about breaking the rules is also not allowed [1]. The page does not list ban lengths [1].
The Terms of Service say punishments "may be applied without prior notice and may extend to associated accounts", and "All enforcement decisions are final unless explicitly stated otherwise" [2]. Accounts, virtual items and currency remain DonutSMP's property. Players get a "limited, revocable, non-transferable license", and items or accounts can be removed "without compensation or liability" [2]. DonutSMP "is not responsible for losses resulting from bans, item removal, or server changes" [2].
Support, reports and appeals
The support site, support.donutsmp.net, requires signing in with Discord or Google and linking a Minecraft account with /link <code> in game [4]. Banned players are told to join link.donutsmp.net in Minecraft to get a code [4]. The site says most tickets are answered within 24–48 hours, and that appeals "can take a little longer on weekends" [4].
Ticket categories on the site are Technical support, Store & purchases, Account linking, Punishment appeal, Map art appeal, Media application, Privacy & data, and Other [4]. A punishment appeal covers "a ban, mute or other sanction". The site's FAQ says the ban ID is shown on the disconnect screen and should be included in the appeal, and that mutes only block chat [4].
According to the fan-run DonutSMP Wiki's command list, the in-game /report command only worked during duels, and other reports went through the DonutSMP Discord server [5]. Duels were removed in the June 2026 update [6].
