Does flooding expand the DonutSMP border? Owner says no
Comment sections swear the flood is a pressure campaign: cover the map in water and ice until staff push a vanilla-size border near 30,000,000. That is the flooder pitch. The owner pitch is the opposite. DrDonut (also DrDonutt) publicly said flooding does not speed world-border expansion. Paraphrase: he wants to expand the server; flooding delays that work because developers chase lag instead of shipping the border. Flooding leaves water. It does not unlock a shortcut meter.
Confirmed vs rumor
Confirmed enough to publish: flooders argue for a ~30M vanilla border; owner says flooding does not accelerate that expand and instead burns eng time on lag. Pedro is a developer. Wizox is a senior admin.
Rumor / leak only: a hard drop on August 29, 2026 (community chatter plus a Wizox-head leak; Wizox never confirmed; Pedro did not confirm that date). Map “percent underwater” figures in the 32–43% range. Claims that Tactation started the biggest flood, or that Dream is stopping it. Those stay on the leak page, labeled as such: border expansion: confirmed vs August 29 leak.
What to do instead of believing the myth
If you are clearing water, use drain methods without expecting a border trophy for flooding: how to drain DonutSMP. If your base is underwater and you still need Money: after the flood. Wars burn totems; this shop lists Money at $0.10 per 1M and does not claim RMT is allowed. Buy DonutSMP money.
Border FAQ
Flooders say they flood to force a roughly 30 million (vanilla-size) world border.
Paraphrase of the public owner line: flooding does not make border expansion faster. It delays it, because developers spend time fixing lag instead of shipping the expand.
