Donut NetworkYour Minecraft account stays online while you're away.
Donut Network keeps your account connected to the server, tells you what happened when it can't, and lets you check in from any browser or from your Discord DMs.
Everyone starts on the Free plan. You sign in to Minecraft on Microsoft's own page, never on ours. By signing in you accept the Terms and Privacy Policy.
A made-up session, shown the way the dashboard lays out its controls.
Everything a session gives you
Each Minecraft account you add becomes a session. These are the tools that come with every one.
Keep it running
Connection and recovery
Stays connected
The account sits on the server around the clock and reconnects by itself when the connection drops.
Stops when it should
If a kick needs you to act (a ban, a whitelist, the wrong version), it pauses instead of hammering the server. It also pauses after three identical failures in a row.
Several accounts at once
Run more than one session side by side, with a health badge on each so a problem stands out.
Watch and control
Live tools in the browser
Live console
Read chat and whispers as they arrive. Type a message or a command and it goes out as if you were in game.
Auto commands
Schedule commands to repeat. Turn each one on, off or delete it without reconnecting.
Inventory and menus
See your inventory and hotbar, use items, and click through the menus the server opens.
Know what happened
Alerts, records and history
Discord alerts
Get a DM for a whisper, a mention, a keyword, a payment above an amount, low health, a full inventory, a chosen item or a disconnect.
Money tracker
Your balance over time, read every 30 seconds, plus how much you earned and spent each day.
Connection history
A timeline of online periods, kicks and drops, with an uptime percentage.
Searchable logs
Search every saved day, filter by chat, whispers, payments or events, and download a date range as a zip of text files.
When a join fails, you see what the server said
Donut Network reads the kick reason, colours included, and shows it like the Minecraft disconnect screen, with a plain-language hint and a Retry button.
It recognises banned, not whitelisted, wrong version, server full, duplicate login, throttled, restarting, timeout and authentication problems, so you know whether to wait or to act.
From sign-in to AFK in five steps
-
Sign in
Sign in with Discord. You start on the Free plan, with no sessions yet.
-
Create a session
Give it a label, like “Main” or “Alt”, so you can tell your accounts apart.
-
Log in to Minecraft
The dashboard shows a one-time code and a Microsoft link. You sign in on Microsoft's page, not ours.
-
Join a server
Enter the server address and version, then press Join Server.
-
Walk away
Close the tab. Set alerts and the bot messages you on Discord when something needs you.
Plans and limits
Every plan has the same tools. The plans differ in how many sessions you can run and how much you can automate.
| Limit | Free | Plus | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| SessionsMinecraft accounts you can keep online | 1 | 3 | 10 |
| Auto commandsScheduled commands running at the same time | 2 | 10 | 30 |
| Commands per dayConsole commands you can send each day | 100 | 1,000 | 10,000 |
Only messages that start with / count as commands. The count resets at 00:00 UTC. Want a bigger plan? Contact support and we'll set it up for you.
Questions people ask first
Do you need my Microsoft password?
No. You sign in on Microsoft's own page using a one-time code the dashboard shows you.
What does signing in with Discord share with you?
Your Discord ID, username and profile picture, which we use to build your dashboard and send alerts to your DMs. We don't read your messages and we don't keep Discord's sign-in token.
Will a server ban my account for AFKing?
That is up to each server's rules, and Donut Network can't promise how a server treats your account. Read the rules of the server you join before you leave an account running.
What happens if the server kicks me?
You see the server's own message on a Disconnected screen. If the problem is something only you can fix, auto-reconnect pauses until you press Retry. Otherwise it keeps trying.
What counts toward my daily command limit?
Messages you send from the console that start with a slash. Normal chat doesn't count. The limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Is it free?
There is a Free plan with its own limits, listed under Plans above. Plus and Pro raise those limits.
Is Donut Network made by Mojang, Microsoft or DonutSMP?
No. It is an independent tool and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
