01
Overview
DonutSMP is a Minecraft survival multiplayer server at donutsmp.net (port 19132) known for base-hunting, Crystal PvP, and six global proxies (NA East, NA West, EU Central, EU West, Asia, Oceania). This is the community companion site with live player count, rules, store, and leaderboards.
DonutSMP currently revolves around base-hunting, so if you make your base, there is a chance it'll get raided the next day. This high-risk, high-reward scheme is one of the defining factors of the popularity of the server. It also revolves around Crystal PvP, so fighting other players and winning will be difficult unless you have good Crystal PvP (CPvP) skills.
Because of such a relatively small world size compared to such a large playerbase, bases are usually found and raided within a month (if you find an amazing base location), weeks, or days (if you dug down practically right where you random teleported to).
Once the world border expands to 30 million by -30 million, prices of all limited items will plummet and skeleton spawners will likely rise in value due to people not being able to find many by raiding bases anymore.

Economy
Money (the primary currency) can be used to purchase items from the shop, orders or the auction house. Shards (the secondary currency) can be used to buy items from the Shard Shop.
03
Proxies
There are six different proxies for the Overworld section (the biggest sector): NA East, NA West, EU Central, EU West, Asia and Oceania. Six regional proxies help players connect through a nearby region, which can reduce latency depending on location and network conditions. However, the nether and end regions are all based in NA East, the most populated section.
