Tier S — Iron Golem Spawner
Coins/hr: 8-15M
The king of AFK farms. Iron Golem spawner drops iron ingots + poppies + occasional iron gear. Iron sells reliably at /order for 75 coins each.
Setup:
- Spawner in 9×9 dark room
- 4 villagers nearby to trigger spawn rate
- Water streams → kill chamber → hopper collection
- Auto-/sell macro
ROI: Pays itself off in ~4-8 hours of running.
Tier S — Wither Skeleton Spawner
Coins/hr: 6-9M
Wither skulls are rare and pricey. Lower spawn rate than Iron Golem but premium per-drop value.
Setup: Similar to Iron Golem but in Nether. Watch out for hostile mobs nearby.
ROI: ~6-10 hours.
Tier A — Blaze + Pigman
Blaze rods fuel potion crafting. Pigman gold is universally needed.
Both: 5-10M coins/hr range.
ROI: 3-5 hours each.
Tier B — Skeleton Spawner
The cheapest entry to spawner income. Bones sell to /order at 170 each.
Coins/hr: 2-3M.
ROI: 1-3 hours. Cheapest by far.
Tier C — Bamboo / Mud Farms
The free-to-start tier. Bamboo grows fast, sells at /sell or /order.
Coins/hr: 0.8-1.5M.
ROI: Build cost is trivial. Worth running on a noob alt while warming up.
How to maximize
Stack multiple spawners across chunks — DonutSMP has per-chunk spawn rate caps. 5 spawners across 5 chunks output 5x the coins of 5 spawners stacked in one room.
Run alts 24/7 — If your main is offline, an alt can keep farms running. How to run multiple alts safely →
Automate /sell — Use macros (allowed) to /sell on cooldown without manual input.
The "free" path
If you have $0 to spend:
- Build bamboo farm (5M coins of materials, mined yourself)
- Earn 1M/hr passive
- Save 30 days → 100M coins
- Buy first spawner on /ah → 8M/hr
- Compound from there
Realistic timeline to 1B coins from zero: 6-8 weeks.
The shortcut path
If you have $50:
- Buy 500M coins ($50 at Donut Depot)
- Buy Iron Golem spawner + Skeleton spawner
- Earn 11M+ coins/hr passive
- Reach 1B in ~4 days
Time savings: 6+ weeks.
Frequently Asked
Do farms work while I'm offline? No — you (or an alt) must be online within rendering distance for mobs to spawn.
Best AFK location? Inside your spawner farm room. The mobs spawn only if a player is loaded near them.
Are AFK farms allowed? Yes — DonutSMP allows AFK farms. Macros (auto-sell) are also allowed.
What's the single best farm to start? Bamboo farm if you have 0 coins. Iron Golem spawner if you have 150M+ or can spend $15.
