DonutHelper is a small team building the tools DonutSMP has been missing. Two projects, one goal: make the server safer and easier to play on.
We started with a mod and it turned into something bigger. Along the way it became obvious that the problems players actually run into on a server are not gameplay problems. They are trust problems. Who is safe to trade with, who is safe to teleport to, whether what you built will still be there tomorrow.
Everything we build now comes back to that. If a feature does not make the server feel safer or easier to run, we do not build it.
Our client-side Minecraft mod for DonutSMP, with secure trading, a reputation system, giveaways and Auction House tools. Version 1.9.4 is out now for Minecraft 1.21.11 on Fabric, and 1.10.0 is on the way.
Our Discord bot for keeping track of builds without doing it all by hand, so the team can spend its time on the server instead of on admin. Still under construction.
The reasoning behind all of it — the fear, the scams, the raids, and what we are trying to build instead — is written up in The DonutHelper Movement.
The project is funded by the community. Everything raised so far, and the goal we are working towards, is on the fundraising page.
