You just joined DonutSMP. Welcome. Here's everything you need to go from fresh spawn to 100M coins.

Hour 1 — Essential commands

These are the commands you'll use daily. Memorize them.

/spawn — go to spawn point
/sethome — set a home
/home — teleport to your set home
/tpa <player> — request teleport to a player
/tpaccept / /tpadeny — respond to TPA requests
/sell hand — sell whatever you're holding
/sell all — sell everything sellable in your inventory
/ah — open the auction house
/orders — open the orders system
/vote — view voting links (daily free rewards)
/balance — check your coin balance
/pay <player> <amount> — send coins (NEVER pay strangers)
/msg <player> <message> — private message

Hour 1-3 — Build a basic base

Don't worry about aesthetics yet. Priorities:

Find a safe biome. Plains, Savanna, or Forest are easy mode. Avoid Desert (no wood), Snow (slow movement), and Jungle (annoying terrain).
Get wood + cobblestone. Aim for 2 stacks of each.
Build a 5×5 shelter with a door, a bed, and a chest. That's enough to survive night one.
Set /sethome so you can /home from anywhere.

Don't waste time decorating. You'll likely tear this down in a week.

Day 1-3 — Initial money grind

Three things to do in parallel:

1. Mine cobblestone, sell it.

Boring but reliable. Cobblestone sells to /sell at low rate but stacks fast.
Aim for 500k-1M coins from cobblestone in first 3 days.

2. Vote daily.

/vote shows you all the voting sites. Vote on all of them every day.
Free coins + sometimes free items.

3. Start a bamboo farm.

Bamboo grows fast. Set up a 7×7 grid near water.
Harvest morning + evening. Easy 200-500k/day from a small farm.

Goal by end of Day 3: 1-2M coins.

Day 4-10 — Scale farms

Now upgrade. Goal is 20M coins by Day 10.

Expand bamboo farm to 16×16. Use hopper minecarts under the farm for auto-collection. Now it harvests itself while you sleep.

Add a mud farm. Different blocks, different sell prices, parallel income.

Start grinding shards.

AFK in the AFK area (/spawn then find it) — 1 shard per minute
OR PvP — 10 shards per kill (only if you're skilled)
Goal: 1,500 shards = 1 spawner

Build a starter gear set.

Iron armor (full set)
Iron pickaxe + sword
Bow + arrows
Stack of cooked food (chicken or beef)

Day 11-20 — First spawner

You should have 20M+ coins and ~1,500 shards by now.

Decision time:

Option A: Spend 1,500 shards on a Skeleton spawner from in-game shop. Slow but free.
Option B: Buy a spawner from auction house (Skeleton/Zombie/Spider for 30-50M coins). Faster.
Option C: Buy from Donut Depot for $0.49 + faster delivery. Costs real money but skips the entire shard grind.

Whichever path, set up the spawner farm immediately:

Dark 9×9 chamber
Water streams + hopper minecarts
/sell macro for drops

A Skeleton spawner running 24/7 = ~2M coins/day passive.

Day 21-30 — Scale spawners

You're now at ~50M-80M coins. Time to scale.

Add a Pigman spawner (auction ~80M, or $1.49 at the Depot). Higher output than skeleton. ~6M/day passive.

Upgrade your gear to enchanted iron or basic diamond. Mending books are common drops — get a Mending pickaxe ASAP.

Start watching /ah. Even if you're not flipping yet, learn the prices. Bookmark donut.auction.

Day 31-45 — First Iron Golem

This is the inflection. Iron Golem spawners ($2.99 IRL, ~150M coins on auction) earn 10-15M/day passive. Once you have one, your daily income jumps 5x.

By day 45 you should be running:

Iron Golem spawner (15M/day)
Pigman spawner (6M/day)
Skeleton spawner (2M/day)
Bamboo + mud farms (3M/day)
Total: ~25M coins/day

100M coins comes in 4 days at this rate.

What to do at 100M

You've hit the milestone. Now you have options:

Stay grinding — push to 1B by stacking more spawners and adding AH flipping. F2P path.

Buy an Elytra — auction has them for ~$320M (unenchanted) or ~$480M (enchanted). Mobility unlocks everything.

Get full netherite — diamond → netherite costs ~80M for full kit. Survives almost any PvP encounter.

Build a real base — Now you can afford decorative blocks, beacon setups, decoration.

Common newbie mistakes

Trusting random /pay deals. Scammers prey on new players. Never /pay someone you don't know.
Trying to PvP unprepared. You'll lose your kit. Stay in safe zones until full geared.
Forgetting to vote. Free money, daily.
Not setting /sethome before exploring. Dying without /home = long walk back.
Listing items on AH 50% below market. Use donut.auction to check prices first.
Quitting at 50M. The compound curve hasn't started.
