DonutSMP Money Making Methods
DonutSMP offers numerous money-making methods ranging from hosting casinos to building massive farms. The most profitable methods require significant capital investment or specialized skills, while accessible methods like auction house flipping provide steady income for newer players. All wealth accumulation strategies benefit from understanding the server’s high-inflation economy, protecting assets through multiple bases to avoid raids, and following server rules as IRL trading, botting, and external gambling are bannable offenses.
Trading & Markets
Auction house flipping involves buying low and selling high on /auction, requiring understanding market prices, knowing which items are in demand, quick reactions to underpriced listings, and capital to invest. The /orders system allows fulfilling bulk purchase requests where prices are usually cheaper than /auction but players can profit by buying from orders and reselling on /auction at higher prices for arbitrage as documented in economy.
Passive Income
Farming skeleton spawners provides the most reliable passive income.
Large crop farms are most efficient with bone meal from the bones of skeleton spawners. With the huge playerbase, farms are at risk of being raided.
Services & Skills
Hosting a casino is by far the most profitable money-making method on the server and has been for a long time with all the richest players also playing the house. Running a casino allows profiting from the house edge on gambling games where while individual players may win big, the house always profits in the long run due to mathematical advantage. External gambling and Discord gambling bots are banned on DonutSMP as documented in rules.
Selling custom bases to rich players can earn up to billions for well-designed structures. This method requires strong building skills, creative design abilities, understanding of what wealthy players want including hidden entrances, aesthetic appeal, and functional farms, and connections to find buyers usually through the DonutSMP Discord. Bases that survive longer and are harder to find via pie-charting are worth more. Selling maparts can be really good once players get a steady supply of customers. Maparts are custom images created in Minecraft maps where players pay for custom designs, popular memes or references, and decorative art for bases. Players should build up a portfolio and advertise on the DonutSMP Discord to attract regular customers.
