Best Money Making Methods on DonutSMP
Game mechanics, market prices and server rules change. Treat these as general ideas, verify current information in-game, and never spend money or items based on a promised return.
1. Automated Farms (The King of Passive Income)
A farm can generate resources while its chunks are processed, but output, uptime and permission depend on current server mechanics and rules.
Top Farms to Build:
- Cactus farms: Output and maintenance depend on the current server mechanics and design.
- Spawner Grinders: Compare permitted spawner types, drop prices and setup costs in-game.
- Sugar Cane & Pumpkin: Compare sale prices and harvest rates before choosing a design.
Important: Verify whether the server permits remote clients and whether the relevant chunks remain active. IdleMine instances are currently free; follow the setup guide.
2. AFK Area & Shards
Check the current in-game help for any designated AFK area, its rewards and permitted use. Availability and reward rules can change with server updates.
- Earn Shards: Check the current shard rewards and redemption options in-game.
- Crate Keys: Check whether keys are currently available, transferable and useful to you before spending resources.
3. Auction Flipping
For players who prefer trading over building, compare current listings in the Auction House (AH). "Flipping" involves buying items for a low price and selling them for a profit.
Tools of the Trade
You can compare market information using Coflnet's DonutSMP Flipper. Check timestamps and current in-game listings; historical prices do not guarantee a profitable resale.

What is the fastest way to make money for beginners?
There is no guaranteed fastest method. Compare current in-game prices, costs and server rules before committing resources.
Do farms work while I am offline?
Chunk behavior depends on the server and its plugins. Verify current behavior; do not assume that a remote account is permitted or that a farm will keep running.
Is auction flipping risky?
It can be. Prices fluctuate, so it's important to check price history on tools like donut.coflnet.com before making large purchases.
How much can I make from AFKing?
Returns vary with current mechanics, prices, farm design, uptime and server rules. No income level is guaranteed.
What is the best farm for money?
The answer changes with server updates and market prices. Compare current input costs, sale prices and permitted mechanics.
Can I use multiple accounts to farm?
Use multiple accounts only if the server's current rules and each account authorization permit it. IdleMine does not guarantee permission.
