Getting started
Day one on a huge SMP is noise: RTP, die once, lose a stack, wonder where Money comes from now that /shop is gone. This guide is the calm path: survive the first hour, build an early Money habit, and decide later whether grinding or buying fits your risk tolerance.

Command cheat sheet: DonutSMP commands. Bulk market: /orders guide. Shards for spawners: shards guide.

Early Money is oxygen. Without it you cannot buy listings, pay for trades, or recover after a bad fight. On this storefront, 30M is also the checkout minimum at $0.10 per 1M: so “first 30M” is a useful shared milestone whether you grind or buy.
Grind path: farm common materials, price-check with /ah search, list slightly under market, or fill buy orders on /orders for faster cash (see /orders). Buy path: buy DonutSMP money after you accept that official staff can punish RMT. We do not claim it is allowed.

Mobility (Elytra) and netherite upgrades change how far you can farm. Both come from the End and the Nether or from player trades for Money: see Elytra and Netherite. Delivery always needs the correct IGN.

DonutSMP Exchange is an independent storefront. We are not affiliated with Mojang Studios, Microsoft, or the DonutSMP server. We do not claim that buying here complies with DonutSMP rules or that real-money trading is allowed. You decide whether to buy. We handle payment, delivery, and support.
