DonutSMP flood tracker (Nov 5, 2026): still no new daily scan since Sep 30 — why the 0% last-24h number is empty, not a wipe
On November 5, 2026, there is no brand-new official DonutSMP flood patch we can verify from public sources. Today's desk note is a fresh flood-tracker status check — about a month after our October 7 flood tracker note. The public community progress API on api.donut.auction still ends on September 30, 2026. That day logged about 55.06% of random teleport (RTP) scans with flooding in view and about 2.73% of scanned Overworld area under water. From October 1 through November 5, the same statistics endpoint reports 0 completed scans. So if a live dashboard shows 0.00% for the last 24 hours, that is an empty sample (0 of 0), not a confirmed world-wide drain.
We are not official DonutSMP staff. This is a dated read of the public tracker, not a patch note.
What the numbers still say (last published day: Sep 30)
The tracker reports two different things:
- Flooded RTP %: share of RTP scans where flooding was visible near the landing spot. Closest public proxy for "how often a new player lands next to water damage."
- Flooded area %: estimated share of scanned ground that is actually covered by flood water. Much smaller because the world is huge.
On the last published day (Sep 30):
- Overall: 55.06% flooded RTPs, 2.73% flooded area (about 13,894 completed scans that day).
- All-time cumulative through Sep 30: about 45.79% of RTPs and 2.25% of area across roughly 857,883 completed scans since the tracker started on August 7.
Regional rollup for Sep 30 (about 2,300 scans per region in our October note; same day still the tip of the public progress series):
- EU Central: 77.7% of RTPs, 4.87% of area
- EU West: 64.25% of RTPs, 3.69% of area
- Asia: 59.63% of RTPs, 2.44% of area
- East: 46.69% of RTPs, 2.09% of area
- West: 42.11% of RTPs, 1.81% of area
- Oceania: 39.74% of RTPs, 1.49% of area
If you start fresh and want drier land, Oceania and West were the least flooded regions in that last public day. EU Central was the worst by a wide margin. Nothing in the public API updates those ranks for October or November yet.
Why "0% last 24 hours" is not a clearance
Community flood pages (including the Flood War board that mirrors the same data) can show 0.00% flooded RTPs and 0.00% flooded area for the last 24 hours when the sample is empty. On this morning's check, the October 1–November 5 statistics window on api.donut.auction returned 0 / 0 / 0 completed, flooded, and empty scans for every region. That is why a zero reading appears: there is no new daily progress day after Sep 30 to replace it.
Do not treat that zero as proof that flood machines stopped, that EU Central dried out, or that the server wiped water. It only means the public sampler has not published a newer day. We will update again when a new progress day appears.
What this means for players right now
- New players: treat the Sep 30 regional pattern as the last public map of risk. Re-roll with
/rtpif the landing spot is a mess, and do not plant your first claim in a flooded valley. Our starter guide and after-the-flood guide still apply. - Drainers: local sponging around your own base still works while the last published flooded-area share stays in the low single digits. See how to drain DonutSMP.
- Border: flooding still does not unlock or speed world-border expansion. The public wiki page for World Border Expansion remains Upcoming / date TBA (last updated Sep 7, 2026). See our earlier border status note and Does flooding expand the DonutSMP border?
- Traders: sponges and building blocks stay useful until a newer scan says otherwise. If you need a quick top-up while you set up farms, keep delivery and rates in mind on our shop — nothing here is a rush to buy.
Caveats
- Source: public community flood tracker API at api.donut.auction (/v1/floods/progress?dimension=overworld and /v1/floods/statistics?dimension=overworld&from=2026-10-01&to=2026-11-05), read Nov 5, 2026 about 07:50 Europe/Warsaw. Community mirrors such as donut.auction/floods and related Flood War boards show the same empty last-24h sample when no new scans exist.
- The tracker samples random teleports. It is an estimate, not a full world map.
- No new daily progress day has been published since Sep 30. October–November statistics return zero completed scans in that window.
- Mood art on this page is not live tracker UI and not official staff media.
What we are not claiming
- No official flood wipe or "flood war over" announcement on Nov 5, 2026 that we can verify from public sources.
- No new live flooded RTP percent for October or November.
- No live border expand. Border remains TBA on the public wiki.
- We are not official DonutSMP staff.
This page is a data check, not a patch note. When the public progress API publishes a day after Sep 30, that is the next real update.
