DonutSMP Stats: How to Check Your Playtime, Money and Kills

DonutSMP tracks a lot about you: playtime, balance, kills, deaths, money earned and shards, and most of it is one command away. Here is how to read your own stats, look up someone else's, and use the leaderboards without wasting your time.

Checking your own stats in game

Command names shift slightly between server updates. If one doesn't exist, run /help and read the list rather than guessing.

  • /stats: your overall profile: playtime, kills, deaths and money figures in one place.
  • /bal or /balance: your current money balance.
  • /playtime: total time played, the number most rank perks are tied to.
  • /shards: your shard balance.
  • Tab list and scoreboard: quick live figures without running anything.

Looking up another player

Most stat commands accept a username, so /stats <player> is how you scout someone before a fight or a trade. It is the fastest way to tell whether the person offering you a deal is a two-hour-old account or a veteran with thousands of kills.

Before any large trade, check the account's playtime and kill/death record. Brand-new accounts with no playtime offering great deals are almost always alts set up to scam.

Leaderboards and what they actually measure

The practical takeaway: leaderboard position tells you who grinds, not who is dangerous. A player with a modest balance and a big stash is richer than the number suggests.

  • Money leaderboard: ranks liquid balance, so it under-represents players who keep wealth in spawners, gear and items.
  • Kills leaderboard: heavily favoured by spawn-camping, not necessarily skill.
  • Playtime leaderboard: mostly AFK time at spawner rooms.

Tracking your own progress

  1. Screenshot your /stats once a week: the server keeps totals, not a history you can graph.
  2. Track money per hour rather than total balance; it is the only number that tells you whether your farm is worth expanding.
  3. Log playtime against income. If income per hour is flat while playtime climbs, your spawner room has hit the mob cap and needs a better kill chamber, not more spawners.
