DonutSMP Orders guide (Oct 13, 2026): how buyer bids pay farm stacks after /shop
On October 13, 2026, there is no brand-new official DonutSMP patch note we can verify from public sources. Today’s desk note is an Orders fill guide for farm stacks after /shop left. Buyer bids on /orders can pay those stacks. Compare the unit price with /ah and /sell before you fill. The in-game menu is the final reference.
We are not official DonutSMP staff. This is a fresh dated note from the public wiki, not a reprint of the September 7 Auction House vs Orders piece or the September 25 sell-routing note.
What Orders are
The public page donutsmp.wiki/orders (last updated Sep 7, 2026) describes Orders as player-created buy requests. A buyer offers Money for specified items. Other players supply those items and receive the offered payment. Offering Money does not guarantee that someone fills the request immediately.
That is the supplier side of the post-/shop loop. Farm output, and other bulk resources, no longer move through a server shop tab. They move through player bids, seller asks, or the server sell floor. Background on the farm side sits in the October 9 farm meta note. The evergreen commands page is /guides/donutsmp-orders.
| Exit | Starts with | Desk note |
|---|---|---|
| Orders (/orders) | Buyer bid | A player offers Money for a specific item and quantity. Suppliers fill that request. |
| Auction House (/ah) | Seller ask | A player lists an item at a chosen asking price. An ask is not a completed sale. |
| Server sell (/sell) | Server floor | The server pays a defined value for supported items. It does not require another player to accept. |
Open the book with /orders. Search with /order plus a search term. Related commands on the money-making page: /ah, /sell, /sellhistory, and /bal.
Order prices are offers from buyers. They are not permanent server values, and two buyers can offer different prices for the same resource. An Auction House asking price is not a guaranteed sale either. How to line those numbers up before a trade: the October 5 price-check guide and the October 1 flipping guide.
Buyer bid vs seller ask
The September 7 desk note already separates the two markets: Auction House vs Orders. The October 11 note is a public tracker snapshot of asks, not a bid board: AH price snapshot. Use those for the shape of the market. Recheck /ah and /orders before you commit a stack. This page does not replace either one with a new price table.
Supplier checklist before you fill
The orders wiki tells suppliers to compare the offered payment with other Orders, equivalent Auction House listings, and the server sell value where it applies. The money-making page (also last updated Sep 7, 2026) puts the same idea in one line: profit = revenue − costs. Common earn paths there include /sell, fulfilling Orders, the Auction House, trading, farming, spawners, and flipping. A visible Order is one possible revenue line. It is not completed profit.
| Step | Action | Desk note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Match the exact item | Read the requested item. Similar names are not interchangeable. |
| 2 | Match the quantity you can fill | Compare what the Order still wants with the stack you actually have. Leftover demand can move while you are away. |
| 3 | Separate unit price from total | A large total can hide a weak per-item offer. A strong unit price on a tiny quantity is a small payout. |
| 4 | Compare /orders, /ah, and /sell | Line the Order’s unit offer up with other Orders, equivalent Auction House listings, and the server sell value where it applies. |
| 5 | Read the menu before you confirm | For a buy order, review item, offered price, quantity, and available balance. Menu limits, expiry, and refund rules can change. The in-game screen is the final reference. |
| 6 | Count profit only after the fill | Profit is revenue minus costs. An Order you can see is not profit until the transaction happens. |
Sell routing reminder (June 9 public wiki)
The orders wiki records a June 9, 2026 update that connected Orders with /sell and the Auction House. That is still the public reference on October 13. It is not a new patch note for today. Check /orders before you dump a farm stack into /sell. The longer writeup is sell routing (Sep 25).
- /sell can route into a higher Order. A higher-paying compatible Order can receive items submitted through /sell.
- An AH listing can sell into an Order. That happens when the Order pays more than the seller’s total asking price.
- A new Order can auto-buy listings. Creating an Order can purchase matching Auction House listings priced at or below the configured order price.
- Spawners and the amethyst sell axe. The public wiki recorded the same routing for those items.
- Gates still apply. Matching rules, remaining capacity, and available funds still decide whether the route happens.
Hypothetical wiki math, not live prices
The orders page includes one worked example and labels it hypothetical. It does not represent current DonutSMP prices, and it is not a claim about fees. We repeat it so the unit-versus-total check is concrete. We are not saying anyone is bidding these numbers on October 13.
| Hypothetical input | Wiki arithmetic |
|---|---|
| $2,000 per item × 320 items | $640,000 total for the full request |
| 64 items at that same unit price | $128,000 before any applicable adjustments |
The same page adds a second hypothetical for the gap between buying and supplying, and labels that one the same way: not a current opportunity and not a guaranteed return. Buying 64 items at $1,500 each would cost $96,000. Supplying those 64 at $2,000 each would be $128,000, a gross difference of $32,000, before other costs, and only if that Order is still open when you arrive. The money-making page uses the same caution: an observed Order is not profit until it is filled.
What we are not claiming
- No live price table for October 13, 2026.
- No brand-new official patch note we can verify today.
- Order offers are not permanent server item values.
- Mood art on this page is not live UI and not official staff media.
- We are not official DonutSMP staff.
- DonutStats is an independent community tool, not an official DonutSMP service. This page does not quote it as today’s market.
Other October desk notes stay where they are. The border is still Upcoming with date TBA in the October 12 status check. The flood is not today’s story: the last public daily progress day in our October 7 flood tracker note is still September 30, about 55% of RTPs near water and about 2.73% of area. This page does not invent a newer flood percent. Halloween pumpkin-head drops remain the October 8 story.

Orders FAQ
Orders are player-created buy requests. A buyer offers Money for specified items, and other players supply them. /orders opens the menu. /order followed by a search term searches.
An Order starts with a buyer bid. An Auction House listing starts with a seller ask. /sell pays a server-defined value for supported items. The three numbers can differ for the same item.
The public wiki’s June 9, 2026 note says a higher-paying compatible Order can receive items submitted through /sell, and an Auction House listing can sell into an Order when the Order pays more than the seller’s total ask. Creating an Order can also buy matching listings at or below the order price. Matching, capacity, and funds still apply. Confirm on the in-game screen.
No. They are the public wiki’s hypothetical example only: $2,000 per item times 320 items is $640,000 total, and 64 items at that unit price is $128,000. They are not current prices and not a claim about fees.
No. We are not official DonutSMP staff. The in-game Orders menu is the final reference before you place or supply an order. Mood art on this page is not live UI.
