The Donut

Quickstart

1. Create a brand-new world with The Donut installed.
2. When the first player spawns, The Donut automatically forms at world coordinates 0, 0. Watch your action bar — it will announce "The Donut has formed at 0, 0!"
3. Travel to coordinates 0, 0 in the Overworld and look up. The colossal arc of the mountain will be waiting for you.
4. To explore, climb the outer slopes, walk the ledges, duck under the overhangs, and make your way to the inner apex where an upside-down Glaze tree grows from the ceiling.

Overview

The Donut is a massive half-torus mountain — imagine a donut shape sliced in half and planted into the ground. It is composed of stone, dirt, gravel, grass, and snow, shaped into sweeping curves with natural-feeling ledges and overhangs. Sparse vegetation dots its surface, and a single extraordinary tree grows upside-down from the inner apex at the top of the arc. The structure rises dramatically toward the upper sky limit, making it one of the tallest landmarks a world can contain.

The Donut places itself automatically the very first time any player spawns in a new world. It always appears at the same fixed location and never places itself a second time in the same world.

How To Use

Automatic Placement

Nothing is required from the player. The moment the first player spawns in a newly created world, the structure is placed at X: 0, Y: 0, Z: 0 in the Overworld. A world flag ensures this happens only once per world — it will never overwrite itself or repeat.

Manual Placement with the Donut Block

The Donut block appears in the Construction category of the creative inventory. Place it anywhere in the world and step back — a 20-second countdown will appear on the action bar for all nearby players:

The Donut forms in 20… 19… 18…

When the countdown ends, the Donut block is replaced and the full structure spawns centered on where the block was placed. The message "The Donut has formed!" confirms success.

Tip: Place the Donut block in open terrain with plenty of sky above it and space around it — the structure is enormous.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Structure

• Fully solid — every block in the arc is placeable, mineable, and survives explosions reasonably well.
• The shape provides natural overhangs and sheltered alcoves useful for building into or sheltering under.
• Snow covers the upper regions, giving the peak a wintry look despite being independent of biome.

The Glaze Tree

At the inner apex — the highest point of the hollow inner curve — a single tree grows upside-down, hanging from the ceiling of the arch. It is made entirely of Glaze Log and Glaze Leaves.

• Glaze Log is best broken with an axe (2 seconds to mine).
• Glaze Leaves break almost instantly with a hoe and are highly flammable — keep fire away from them.
• Both blocks are decorative and can be collected and used freely in your own builds.

The Donut Block

• Found in the Construction creative tab.
• Placing it starts an irreversible 20-second countdown visible on the action bar to players within 96 blocks.
• The structure spawns at the block's location when the timer expires.
• The block is mineable with a pickaxe if you change your mind before placing it.

Progression And Strategy

• Navigate to 0, 0 first thing after world creation — the structure is already there and serves as a dramatic landmark, base of operations, or building platform.
• The inner bowl of the half-torus is a naturally sheltered amphitheater ideal for a base, arena, or garden.
• The outer slopes make excellent defensive high ground or a dramatic approach to a mountaintop build.
• Collect Glaze Logs and Glaze Leaves from the apex tree early — they are unique to this structure and cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
• Use the Donut block in creative mode if you want to place additional copies of the structure elsewhere in the same world, such as on a flat platform or at sea.
