DonutSMP client FAQ
Real questions from real players — installation, safety, bans and downloads. Everything you need before your first session on DonutSMP.
Getting started
What is a DonutSMP client?
A DonutSMP client is a custom Minecraft setup (a Fabric mod) that adds modules the vanilla game doesn't have: base finding tools, PvP helpers, HUD customization and FPS optimization — all tuned for playing on DonutSMP.
Which DonutSMP client should I choose?
Water Client if you want the most modules (100+), Frost Client if you mainly PvP and base hunt, 67 Client if your PC is slow, and Fake Client if you want to troll streamers. All four are free.
What Minecraft version do I need?
Minecraft 1.21.11 with the Fabric loader. Every client on this site is built and tested for exactly that version.
Do I need Fabric Loader and Fabric API?
Yes. Install Fabric Loader for 1.21.11 from fabricmc.net, then put the Fabric API .jar in your mods folder next to the client.
Installation
How do I install a DonutSMP client?
Install Fabric for 1.21.11, download the client .jar, move it into %appdata%\.minecraft\mods (don't unzip it), then launch the Fabric-Loader-1.21.11 profile and join DonutSMP.
Where is the mods folder?
Press Windows + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft\mods and hit Enter. On Mac it's ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods.
How do I open the client menu in game?
Press Right Shift in game to open the client menu and toggle modules.
The game crashes when I launch — what do I do?
Check that you run Minecraft 1.21.11 (not another version), that Fabric Loader and Fabric API are installed, and that no outdated mods are in the folder. Remove other mods and try again.
How do I update a client?
Download the new .jar from the Clients page and replace the old file in your mods folder. Your settings are kept.
How do I uninstall a client?
Delete the client's .jar from your mods folder. Nothing else is changed on your system.
Safety & rules
Are these clients safe to download?
Yes. Downloads are direct .jar files hosted on this site — no installers, no ad shorteners, no bundled software.
Can I get banned on DonutSMP?
DonutSMP runs an anticheat, so any modified client carries some risk. Utility and visual modules (HUD, FPS tweaks, base finding) are far safer than aggressive combat or movement cheats. Use common sense.
Are hacked clients allowed on DonutSMP?
DonutSMP's rules evolve — check the server's official rules before using cheat-style modules. Many players use utility clients without issues, but the risk is yours.
Do the clients work on other servers?
Yes, they work on any 1.21.11 server and in singleplayer, but every module is tuned and tested specifically for DonutSMP.
Downloads & pricing
Are the clients really free?
Yes — 100% free, forever. No paid tiers, no Linkvertise, no surveys, no 'premium' version.
Why are the downloads .jar files?
Because the clients are Fabric mods. A .jar is the standard mod format — you never run it like a program, you drop it in the mods folder.
Can I use the clients with Sodium or other performance mods?
Yes. The clients behave like normal Fabric mods and work alongside Sodium, Lithium and other performance mods.
Can I suggest a new client or module?
Yes — join our Discord and post in the requests channel. Popular suggestions get added.
Still stuck? Ask in our Discord, read the DonutSMP client hub or grab a client on the download page.
