Sugar cane farm
1.17M–4.69M coins/hrVIA AH · LIVE · PER MODULE
The sugar cane farm is the simplest starter farm on DonutSMP. An observer watches the cane, a piston breaks it when it grows, and hoppers collect it. Sugar cane feeds paper and the crafting flips, so it always sells. Start with the stackable module, then move to the flying machine harvester for bulk.

Large flying-machine harvester for bulk output. Much bigger build and material list, but far more cane per hour once it is running. Some players report the flying machine stalling on 1.21.1, so test one lane before scaling.
