DonutSMP crates removed (Sep 28, 2026): /warp crates archived — keys no longer open loot
On Sep 28, 2026, DonutSMP still has no confirmed brand-new patch note. The useful public fact for today is the community wiki archive on Crates: crates and crate keys were removed as part of a larger update; the page is marked removed/archived. Players searching for /warp crates or keyall should treat those as history, not a live loot lane.
Public wording lives on donutsmp.wiki/crates (last updated Sep 6, 2026 on the wiki). Soft background: Shard Items / Amethyst tools (Sep 21), spawners closed supply (Sep 16), shards explained (Sep 9), and sell routing (Sep 25).
What crates were
Crates were a former DonutSMP feature where players spent crate keys to open crates. There were five crates, each with a matching key. Each opening let you choose one of seven items. Opening happened at /warp crates. Keys were not physical items but account resources, obtainable from keyall (once per hour) and the official store historically.
| Former crate | Desk note |
|---|---|
| Common | Formerly diamond armor and tools |
| Prime | Formerly netherite armor, mace, netherite sword, or crossbow |
| Gold | Formerly any one spawner |
| Amethyst | Formerly Amethyst Items |
| Crimson | Formerly netherite armor, sword, axe, or pickaxe |
Keys and Shard Shop history
The Gold and Amethyst keys were formerly obtainable from the Shard Shop but were later removed (see the Shards wiki). That step came before the full crates archive. Do not treat old YouTube “keyall” clips as current instructions.
What replaced the crate grind
Current public shard path (cross-check shards desk notes): every player receives 1 shard every 10 minutes of playtime; shards can also be purchased from the official DonutSMP store; spend in the Shard Shop on currently listed tools/equipment. Spawners are closed-supply trade items (Sep 16), not new mint via Gold crate.
Soft link shards explained, Shard Items / Amethyst tools (Sep 21), and spawners closed supply (Sep 16).
What this page is not
This page is not a claim that crates will return, not a live keyall schedule, not permission to use third-party “crate” sites as official DonutSMP, and not a Sep 28 patch announcement. Border status as of mid-September: still announced-not-live (Sep 12).
If you need starter Money after a clean wilderness /rtp while you rebuild farms without chasing archived crate keys, donutsmpexchange.com is the fast delivery lane — it does not bring server crates back.
