DonutSMP Best Farms 2026: Pink Petals, Kelp, Fungus & More

May 29, 2026 · 6 min read

Farms are the backbone of passive income on DonutSMP. The best farms generate coins around the clock with minimal player input, letting you accumulate wealth while doing other things — or while offline. Here's a breakdown of every major farm type, their output rates, and how to pick the right one.

Farm Comparison Overview

Pink Petal Farms

Pink Petal farms are currently the highest-output farm on DonutSMP, generating approximately 300,000 coins per minute. At that rate, an hour of operation can yield 18M coins — purely passive.

Pink petals generate naturally in cherry grove biomes and can be farmed with a bone meal dispenser setup. The challenge is building the farm correctly so bone meal consumption is efficient and petals are harvested and sold automatically.

Sell output directly into /orders — there are consistently active buy orders for pink petals given their demand for dye recipes and decorative use.

Best for: players ready to invest build resources for maximum passive return.

Kelp Farms

Kelp farms are the classic beginner farm on DonutSMP — and for good reason. They are:

• Simple to build with basic materials
• Easy to diagnose and repair when something breaks
• Reliable income with no market volatility risk
• Compatible with AFK income (run while you're in the AFK zone earning shards)

Kelp is smelted into dried kelp blocks, which sell consistently through /orders. The rate isn't as explosive as pink petals, but the predictability makes it the smart first farm to build.

Best for: new players building their first steady income stream.

Fungus Farms (Nether)

Nether fungus farms (crimson fungus and warped fungus) produce enormous quantities of output. A well-optimised fungus farm generates nether wart blocks, shroomlight, and fungus in bulk.

The challenge with fungus farms is volume management — you'll generate items faster than you can sell them on the AH. The /orders system is essential: set up auto-sell into active buy orders so you never get blocked by storage.

Fungus farms can be highly profitable, but they require more complex Nether infrastructure and a better understanding of bulk-selling mechanics.

Best for: experienced players comfortable with Nether builds and bulk trading.

Mob Head Farms (Piglin Heads)

Mob head farms are an underrated high-value strategy. Piglin Heads sell for 2M–4M coins each and are stackable, making them far easier to store and transport than most valuables.

A proper mob head farm requires charged creeper setups or specific mob spawner configurations, but the coin-per-item ratio is excellent. Because each head is worth millions, you don't need massive volume — even a slow farm generates meaningful income.

Bonus: mob head farms also generate shards from kills, letting you stack the shard currency simultaneously for spawner purchases.

Best for: endgame players with access to spawners and mob infrastructure.

The Recommended Farm Progression

1. Start: Kelp farm — build capital, learn the market, stable coins
2. Mid game: Fungus farm or second kelp farm — scale up passive income
3. Late game: Pink Petal farm — maximum coins per minute
4. Endgame: Mob head farm — high-value output, shard generation

Selling Your Farm Output

The right sell method depends on what you're farming:

Use DonutSMP Finance to check live buy-order prices before selling. If buy orders for your farm output are thin, the /sell command may actually beat the current /orders rate.
