On Donut SMP, the best money methods are not always the flashy ones. Sometimes the real profit comes from items most players ignore, like cobblestone and bones.

We tested two simple but strong methods: turning cobblestone into walls with a TNT farm, and converting cheap bones into bone blocks. Both can work, but only if the prices line up. The key is not just farming more items. It is knowing when to run the farm, what to craft, and how to sell it for the best multiplier.

↖ Cobblestone Walls: Why This Method Works

Cobblestone by itself does not look valuable. Most players walk past it, mine through it, or dump it into storage. But on Donut SMP, cobblestone walls can sell for much more than raw cobble, especially if you can use a strong sell multiplier.

The method is simple:

1. Generate cobblestone.

2. Use TNT to break it in bulk.

3. Collect the cobblestone.

4. Craft it into cobblestone walls.

5. Sell the walls through the best available price.

In our test, the farm used around 30 million worth of TNT and made about 82 million back. That left roughly 50 million profit, depending on exact TNT prices and selling speed.

This means cobblestone farming can be extremely strong, but it is not risk-free. If TNT prices rise too much, the profit drops fast.

↖ How to Run the Cobblestone Farm Safely

The biggest danger with a TNT cobble farm is not the market. It is setup mistakes. If cobblestone gets pushed into the wrong lane, TNT can explode where it should not.

Before starting the farm, we always check the machine first.

If you notice cobblestone sitting in the blast path, stop the farm and clear it first. That small check can save millions in repairs and lost TNT.

The best time to use this method is when TNT is still cheap. If everyone starts buying TNT, the price can jump, and the same farm may become much worse overnight.

↖ Bone Blocks: A Safer Money Method

The bone block method is less risky than TNT farming. Instead of using explosions, we buy bones, craft them into bone blocks, and sell the blocks for more.

The basic conversion is:

3 bones = 1 bone block

For example, if bones cost 174 each, then one bone block costs:

174 × 3 = 522

If bone blocks sell for 547–560, we make around 25–38 profit per block.

This method usually makes less per hour than a good cobblestone wall farm, but it is easier to manage. There is no TNT damage, no blast timing, and fewer ways to break the setup.

↖ Cobblestone Walls vs Bone Blocks

Both methods are good, but they fit different situations. Cobblestone walls are better when TNT is cheap and wall prices are high. Bone blocks are better when bones are cheap and the market is stable.

If you are experienced with redstone farms and can handle TNT systems, cobblestone walls can be the stronger play. If you want a calmer and more predictable method, bone blocks are easier to recommend.

↖ The Real Profit Rule: Always Check the Market First

A lot of players lose money because they copy a farm without checking prices. On Donut SMP, the economy changes quickly. A method can be amazing one day and barely profitable the next.

Before running either method, check three things:

If TNT is cheap and wall prices are good, run cobblestone.

If bones are cheap and bone blocks sell well, run bones.

If both margins are bad, keep your money and wait.

That patience matters. Sometimes not farming is the most profitable move.

↖ FAQ

↖ Is cobblestone actually good for making money on Donut SMP?

Yes, but not as raw cobblestone. The profit comes from crafting it into cobblestone walls and selling those walls at a strong price.

↖ How much can a cobblestone wall farm make?

In our test, around 30 million spent on TNT returned about 82 million, giving roughly 50 million profit. Your result depends on TNT price, farm speed, and wall sell value.

↖ When should I avoid the cobblestone method?

Avoid it when TNT gets too expensive or wall sell prices drop. If TNT rises near 10k each, the method usually becomes much weaker.

↖ Are bone blocks better for beginners?

Yes. Bone blocks are easier to understand and safer to run. You only need to compare bone prices with bone block sell prices.

↖ What is the bone block profit formula?

Use this simple check:

Bone price × 3 = cost per bone block

If the bone block sells for more than that number, you have profit.

↖ Which method makes more money?

Cobblestone walls usually have the higher profit ceiling. Bone blocks are safer and more stable, but the profit per hour is usually lower.

↖ Summary

Cobblestone walls and bone blocks are both strong Donut SMP money methods because they turn cheap materials into better-selling items.

The cobblestone wall method is best when TNT is cheap and you can sell walls with a good multiplier. It can make huge profit, but it needs careful setup and price tracking.

The bone block method is safer. It works well when bones are cheap and bone blocks still sell high enough to leave a margin.

The simple rule is this: do not run a farm just because it is popular. Run it because the math works. Track your input cost, check the sell price, and stop when the margin disappears. That is how we turn underrated items into real profit on Donut SMP.
