Your first hour: quick starter money
- Sell basic farm output with /sell: crops, kelp and mob drops add up while you learn the map.
- Kill mobs at night for bones, string and gunpowder and sell the stacks.
- Buy cheap on the auction house and relist items that are clearly underpriced.
Mid game: AFK farms
Once you have a safe spot, an AFK farm earns while you sleep. Kelp, sugar cane and mob farms are cheap to build and sell steadily.
Download a farm schematic, load it with Litematica and build it far from spawn so nobody raids it.
Late game: spawners
Spawners are the biggest money makers on DonutSMP. Stack several of the same type in one room, collect the drops automatically and sell in bulk.
Protect them: a raided spawner room wipes out weeks of profit. Hide the room underground and keep the entrance disguised.
Trading and the auction house
Watch prices before you sell. Items like elytras, totems and shulker shells swing in value, and buying during a dip then selling later is pure profit.
