The best money farms on DonutSMP right now
On DonutSMP you sell farm loot with /sell, and /sell fills the buy orders in /orders. So a farm is only as good as the orders waiting for its items: the price and how many people still want them. This post ranks the usual farms by both, from the order data on this site.
Links on the prices go to each item's page and always show the current top order. The other numbers are from November 11, 2026.
The short list
| Farm | Sells for (top order) | Still wanted near that price | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold farm (nuggets) | $380 each | 1.9M nuggets | Best all-rounder |
| Gold farm (blocks) | $32K each | 18.7K blocks | Craft nuggets up only while it pays |
| Experience bottles (villager trades) | $3.6K each | 1.45M bottles | Huge demand, not a farm |
| Ghast tears | $5.2K each | 820K tears | High price, big build |
| Wither skeleton skulls | $86.1K each | 18.4K skulls | Rare drop, very high price |
| Dried kelp blocks | $750 each | 2.06M blocks | Fully AFK, low price |
| Nether wart | $1K each | 119K wart | Cheap to set up |
| White wool | $955 each | 52K wool | Easy sheep farm |
"Still wanted near that price" counts the items wanted at 85% of the top order or more - that's how much you can sell before the price drops a lot.
Gold farms
A gold farm kills zombified piglins for gold nuggets and the odd gold ingot. Of the farms here, gold has by far the most buyers:
- Nuggets are where the demand is. Almost 2 million nuggets are wanted near the top price, against a few thousand ingots and blocks.
- Craft up only when it pays. 9 nuggets make an ingot and 9 ingots make a block. Compare 81 nuggets at the nugget price with one block before you craft.
- Kill them yourself. Gold ingots only drop when a player lands the kill, and a Looting sword raises the nuggets per kill.
- Spawning platforms beat portals. Overworld portal farms are much slower - a portal spawns piglins only now and then.
Experience bottles
Bottles o' enchanting can't be crafted or filled with XP - the only way to get them is trading with villagers: a cleric sells them for emeralds once it's levelled up. So this one isn't a farm but a trade: it pays when the emeralds cost less than the bottles sell for. The trick that makes it pay: let a zombie infect your cleric, then cure it (splash potion of weakness, then a golden apple). A cured villager gives you a big, permanent discount, so each bottle costs far fewer emeralds. Check both live prices - experience bottles and emeralds - before you build a trading hall. Over a million bottles are wanted, so selling them isn't the hard part.
Ghast tears and wither skulls
Both are rare drops with big prices:
- Ghast tears need a large ghast farm in the Nether, but 800K+ tears were wanted, so there are plenty of buyers.
- Wither skeleton skulls drop 2.5% of the time (about 5.5% with Looting III), so they come slowly - but each one sells for tens of thousands.
AFK farms: kelp, wart and wool
These won't make you rich fast, but they run while you're away:
- Dried kelp blocks: a kelp farm plus furnaces (dried kelp blocks fuel themselves). About two million were wanted, so there are plenty of buyers.
- Nether wart: grows on soul sand in any dimension; a Fortune hoe gets more per harvest. On November 11 it sold for several times what sugar cane did.
- White wool: sheep and dispensers with shears.
Before you build
- Prices move. Check the item's page before a big build - the top order and the 10th order show how deep the market is.
- The top order only wants so many. The "still wanted" column shows how many sell near the top price - past that, prices are lower.
- Read the money guides for crafting, smelting and trading that turns cheap items into more expensive ones.
