4 Best Money-Making Methods on DonutSMP Minecraft
September 29, 2026 · 3 min read · Amir
Most of the DonutSMP players spend hours grinding on the server and somehow end up broke, but today we will present to you some of the most efficient ways to make money on the DonutSMP server. The good part is that most of them don't need any money at all to start, while some of them need a little bit of investment. By the end of this article, you will know which method is the best for you.
First Method: Blackstone Mining
Most of the players on the DonutSMP server are looking to build bases so they can store their valuable items, and they usually seek to decorate those bases as well. Most players build their bases in the Overworld, especially in the deepslate part, which makes it hard for them to get colored wool blocks, carpets, as well as blackstone.
So, it's a really good hustle to go to the Nether and start farming blackstone blocks and sell them to the players who set orders on DonutSMP. You can make yourself a good amount of money, and with this method, you can make around 17M/HR, which is a really good rate.
Second Method: Order Flipping
As it sounds, it's really simple, and I think most of the DonutSMP players have done this before. But in case you don't, it's really simple and really underrated.
The thing is, you order some items for cheap in the orders section of the server and sell them to other players. This method could make you a really huge profit, and when I say huge, I mean you could make 50%+ of your investment.
At the same time, you could also make a little amount of money, which means you have to pick those items carefully and make sure that their price wouldn't drop.
You can make 20-30M+/HR if you use this method properly.
Third Method: Kelp Farming
Many of you guys right now would say, "What do you mean by farming kelp? Isn't kelp not a really valuable item?"
YES, I know, but if you pay attention to this method, you could make a really good amount of money from it.
On the DonutSMP server, players usually use dried kelp blocks to smelt items, and it has a really, really high demand. So, as hustlers, we can take advantage of that and start building ourselves a dried kelp farm and make money out of nowhere.
Most players don't know much about redstone or how to exactly design a good-looking farm that also makes a lot of money. This is where it gets pretty simple: you can buy a farm from Midora.gg, and they offer a lot of variations and designs that are really cheap.

These farms could make you 40-50M+/HR depending on the market and how efficiently you run them.
Fourth Method: Enchanting Diamond Pickaxes
Most of the people on the DonutSMP server don't have much money to buy a good netherite pickaxe from the auction house, so they tend to buy a cheap diamond pickaxe.
You can take advantage of this by buying no-enchantment pickaxes from the auction house (you can also craft them yourself) and then adding a few enchantments to them, such as Efficiency V, and then selling them on the auction house.
This could make you a lot of money depending on how many pickaxes you sell, but supposing you started using 100 pickaxes, you could make around 15M/HR.
Final Thoughts
There are a lot of different ways to make money on DonutSMP, and these are just some of the methods you can use. Whether you want to start with no money or you're willing to invest some of your money, there is always a way to start making more.
If you want a more passive way of making money, kelp farms are definitely something worth looking into, especially if you don't want to spend all of your time grinding manually.
