Sep 26, 2026 · News desk · Base tip
On Sep 26, 2026, DonutSMP still has no confirmed brand-new patch note. The useful public fact for today is the community wiki Base Security Guide: treat every base as temporary risk reduction, not a permanent safe zone. The same wiki About page frames Season 2 gameplay around base-hunting and Crystal PvP, with bases described as high-risk, high-reward on a crowded map.

Public wording lives on donutsmp.wiki/base-security-guide and donutsmp.wiki/about-donutsmp (check each page’s own last-updated stamp; both were stamped Sep 6, 2026 when this desk note was written). Soft background: TPA traps & base security (Sep 19), spawners closed supply (Sep 16), client mods & anti-cheat (Sep 23), hard assets vs /bal (Sep 18), and sell routing (Sep 25).
The Base Security Guide is explicit: practical steps lower risk, but no layout is guaranteed safe. Server updates, information leaks, and player behavior can change the risk profile of any design. Build for inspection and repair, not for a fantasy of permanent protection.
| Public point | Desk note |
|---|---|
| No permanently raid-proof design | Practical steps lower risk, but no layout is guaranteed safe |
| Risk can change after you build | Server updates, information leaks, and player behavior can change the risk profile of any design |
| Build for inspection and repair | Treat the base as temporary risk reduction, not a fantasy of permanent protection |

Choose a location with travel, visibility, and world-border conditions in mind. Do not publish coordinates, screenshots, or map details that reveal a valuable base by accident. Review random teleportation and portal behavior before you create repeatable travel routes that others can reverse-engineer. Keep account and team access limited to people who genuinely need it.
Soft link the Sep 19 TPA desk note: accepting a teleport request still remains your risk — TPA traps (Sep 19) covers the /tpa prompt; this page is about the base itself.
| Rule | Desk note |
|---|---|
| Choose location with travel and visibility in mind | Factor world-border conditions before you settle a stash you cannot easily move |
| Do not publish coordinates, screenshots, or map leaks | A clip or screenshot can reveal a valuable base by accident |
| Review RTP and portal routes | Repeatable travel routes can be reverse-engineered if random teleportation or portal behavior is sloppy |
| Limit account and team access | Keep access to people who genuinely need it |

Separate frequently used supplies from the most valuable items. Label containers clearly, keep inventory space for emergency movement, and record important contents privately. Existing spawners sit on a closed-supply economy already covered on Sep 16 — the Base Security Guide flags them for extra protection when stored or moved. Soft background: hard assets vs /bal (Sep 18).
| Tip | Desk note |
|---|---|
| Separate everyday supplies from valuables | One leak or raid should not empty every high-value item |
| Label containers and keep emergency space | Clear labels plus inventory room help you move fast if the location is burned |
| Record important contents privately | Keep that list off public screenshots and Discord dumps |
| Give spawners extra care | Existing spawners sit on a closed-supply economy already covered on Sep 16 |
Do not install unverified schematic tools or modifications. Follow the public Client Modifications and Server Rules pages. An allowed vanilla-style mechanic such as TNT duping (historical June notes) does not authorize item duplication or bypassing protected areas. Soft link: client mods & anti-cheat (Sep 23).
Preserve dated screenshots and coordinates privately, stop sharing access, and use the DonutSMP Support Portal when a report is appropriate. Do not assume support restores every loss after a PvP death or a raid — the PvP wiki reminds players to verify live combat-tag and command restrictions in-game.
| Step | Action | Desk note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Preserve private evidence | Keep dated screenshots and coordinates privately — do not post them |
| 2 | Stop sharing access | Cut extra account and team access as soon as the location is compromised |
| 3 | Use the Support Portal when appropriate | Report through official DonutSMP support; do not assume every PvP death or raid is restored |
This page is not a claim that land claims exist on DonutSMP, not a guarantee any stash survives, not a live price sheet, and not a claim that flood percent or a border launch changed today. Border status as of mid-September: still announced-not-live (Sep 12).
