Yo, what's going on, Donut Nation? Today, we're watching a video titled uh, "I Built a Rocket Factory to Make $200 Million." This is a video made by the YouTuber named Ravix. Uh, he's one of the best Donut SMP farm builders there are. And he makes a video documenting his whole journey every time. And it's so cool to see all these different items that he's making money from. Um, he's super talented. I've watched so many of his videos. So, let's get into it.
This entire factory turns sugarcane and creepers into rockets. And every single one of those has value on the Donut SMP. This started as just an idea, and I wasn't stopping until I produced $200 million worth of rockets on the Donut SMP. Rockets aren't just convenient.
>> $200 million is a lot because I don't think people buy rockets that much. Maybe I'm wrong, though. But elytras are since elytras are rare, like I don't think I think it's going to be hard for him to make a lot of money.
>> One of the most used consumables on the server. Anyone with an elytra is constantly burning through them just to move around. And crafting rockets by hand gets old fast. So players end up buying them instead. I wanted something different. I wanted a factory that never stops producing rockets so I can sell them to players all over the server. So let's find a place to build it.
Okay, let's find the spot. Okay, and just here should be fine. So I'll dig down. Okay, I'll quickly mine out this and then we'll set up some dispensers to blow up the area. Okay, all the dispensers are here. I'll quickly set up a clock. Now, I'm just going to connect all of the dispensers and put TNT in them. Then, we'll be able to blow up the whole section. Okay, all the redstone placed. Now, I've got these three rows ready to test. So, if I flick this lever,
>> double blow up the machine. Oh my god, broke. There we go.
>> Wait, wait. Does How does he know exactly how far down he needs to go to make sure his machine doesn't get blown up by the TNT? I feel like that was so risky.
>> That's probably too much delay on it, but perfect. Okay, so I'm just going to keep doing that. I'm going to blow up the whole section now.
>> Also, how expensive is it to blow to use all that TNT? I feel like it's probably so expensive.
Okay, I'm going to start off by making the sugarcane modules and I'm going to make this pretty big. I'm going to need a lot of paper and I'm going to use some bricks, probably some copper, too. I want to make it look like a factory. So, yeah, let's get started.
Wait, is he building it for the first time on the server? Oh my gosh. Yeah, the way he's building it and how simple this farm probably is, it looks like he's building this like by hand and no schematic.
Okay, the sugarcane's done. It didn't take me too long.
>> Wait, I just realized.
>> Why is he leaking the bedrock for the whole base? It's not going to last longer than this video lasts.
>> We are producing a lot right now. You just see it flying out so much. Just turn my night vision back on. Now, if we come over here, we can see that we're just completely overflowing. So, we're going to need storage. But first, I'm going to set up the floor.
Watch the video loser. So, I know where everything. What do you mean, watch the video, loser? Is this not what I'm doing?
>> Okay, here's a rough design. But first things first, we're overflowing. So, we need this storage done now. And then I'll get the paper crafting.
Graphics doesn't care about his bases. Oh, you mean like when he posts videos? I mean, yeah. Yeah, he's already so rich. Like, why should he care?
Okay, the sugarcane is now flying through this pipe, fulling down here, going up the water, and into storage. So now I just need to connect this sugarcane to these crafters. Now I need to set up a redstone circuit where it doesn't craft sugar. So I'll make that now. It's good we have the storage set up now because I had so much sugarcane despawning.
>> Donut. You're such an idiot. Why? What did I do?
>> Loser. Just watch. Your Q is so low. What did I do? Restart the video now. I wasn't here. Okay. I'm probably not going to be able to restart the video just because you weren't here. I'm I'm sorry.
>> For now. So, I guess like sort of laboratory tubes I'll set up here. They will fold down water stream. They go up into more storage. And we need that now, too, cuz this is just going to keep despawning.
>> Best streamer. Thank you.
>> Officially, no more despawning. The sugarcane goes into here and won't craft unless there's the stack of sugarcane in this hopper, which I probably could. It's a good safety barrier. So, how am I never craft sugar? It will then shoot out like that into the water stream, go up there, and wait in that hopper there. So, since I don't need to rush anymore, I'm thinking I'll design the floor now, just so we can easily walk around.
Listen to the heat. Okay, the floor's done. I'm liking it so far. So, now I'm going to work on the creeper area. And here is going to be a window. And then I'm going to build this up and have the creeper spawn pad above us. So I'm just going to keep building this up here. We'll go up a little higher. And then we're going to have a 3x3 pad here that the creepers will land into. And they're going to end up falling down there. So now I'm just going to need some tinted.
>> Wait, how is he going to get creepers to spawn inside the base? How is that going to happen?
>> Glass cuz we want to see into it. That's more fun. Okay, now I'm just going to need to put water here just so the water can actually flow correctly to lead the creepers into the middle. So, we put this and this. Break that. They will get led down there.
>> Creeper spawners. What? I don't make sense.
>> Now that that's done, I've got this little area which is going to have two minecarts. One is going to go here with a snow golem in it. So, I'll do that now. Just like that. Now, this next one's going to be a little more tricky. So, what I'm going to need is a gold spear with looting three and sharpness five, which I'm going to need a few more levels for. There we go. Sharpness five, looting.
>> He's just smart.
>> I need to get a pigman from the Nether. Give it and then place it into a minecart here. So, it is a bit risky though. I need to set up a Nether portal, grab the piglin, give it the spear, and then break both portals so no one can find me. So, yeah, we'll work on that now.
Okay. Took me so long to find one, but I just name tagged one over here somewhere. Okay, crossbow one it is. We're just going to take him. Come on. Just make sure he's name tagged. Okay, he is. Okay, so if I drop him this first, he should grab it. Then keep it in his hand and then follow me in here. Yes. Okay, now I got to get him in the minecart. Where is he? Damn.
>> Oh my gosh. Okay, now he's stuck in there. Okay, what I'll do quickly is just design this room so I know this is safe.
>> He's going to have a piglin killing his creepers for him. That might be the smartest thing I've ever seen. And if he has looting on the spear, too, that might be the smartest thing I've ever seen. And the piglin's aiming at the snow snowman. So, he's going to be aiming like through like where the creepers are going to be standing.
>> Do this again. And I'll break these portals so no one can get here. Okay, this is the room I've set up. So, eventually,
>> wait, but I don't understand. How is the snowman shooting the piglin? Isn't the piglin going to die eventually?
>> The creeper falls down. It doesn't happen that often. That's just how the Donut SMP works, but it's cool to look at anyway. So, it will get killed. Looting three will be applied. It goes into the hopper. It will then be shot out of the dispenser. Come across here and we'll need to go up this, which I haven't built yet. I'm going to build this and the gunpowder storage.
Okay, all three storages are done now. So, what I'm going to do now is make the crafting room. So, this is where the rockets will get crafted. You'll see them get out into storage. So, after that's done, we'll work on the rocket storage. Okay, so this is finished. I've set up these minecarts. They're going to go through the wool, and this one's going to collect gunpowder from there. And this one's going to collect paper from the storage up there. Now, we definitely have enough paper. We just don't have enough gunpowder. That's why nothing's crafting right now. But they're just going to despawn anyway. So, I'm going to set up a ice path quickly for the rockets and put them into a rocket shulker loader.
All right, it's been a couple days. I haven't been able to get on, but someone found the base. They took my creeper heads, but worst of all, they killed the piglin. Oh, that's so sad. Um, they didn't grief anything, though, so I feel like I can leave a sign and say, "Hey, please don't grief me. I'll give you some money." So, let's just get a sign. Okay, so I've got the signs down. This should work cuz I'm going to give them 100 mil, but 50 million now and then 50 mil after I'm done. So, that gives me a little bit of leverage. Hopefully, they leave their name, but I'll try rush and finish all of this now because most of the components are done. I think it's just the design. Also, we need the rocket shulker loader.
Okay, there are so many creepers spawning right now and I don't know why. It must be a new haircut 40,000 people on the server. But
>> yo, is there like a Discord call of people like purposely like trying to all send me hate messages at the same time and you guys are like 3 2 1 send it? Cuz why are multiple people at the same time saying get a new haircut, Minecraft a haircut? Like wh why? That's so mean, bro.
>> I can throw some gunpowder in here. I like my haircut.
>> I'm gonna place another creeper spawner down cuz that's annoying me that it's missing now. Where is it? Creeper spawner. Put that here. Okay, we need that piglin back because that's just gunpowder that could be ours. But I'm going to throw some gunpowder in and show how the loaders work. So, put this in there. That's going up into storage. So, once it makes its way down, that minecart should collect it. There we go. Okay, it started. They're all going. And now if you look through the floor, we can see the rockets coming through. Then the rockets will go
>> is good the way it is. Thank you.
>> Up here and you'll be able to see them through there. If you look really closely, they're going to go on the shulker loader. So also I have a spot here where you throw the empty shulkers once you're done selling the rockets. That's going to allow you to be able to recycle every shulker that you use. So you don't need to keep Look at these ones firing. Look how fast people at the same time just typing just I'm chopped and get a new haircut. And it looks like a Minecraft haircut. That is cool looking. Okay. All right. All we need to do now is just design this whole thing and then we'll be ready to farm it. See how much money we can focus on first. I'm going to need to get the piglin back cuz that is very annoying. It took me so long last time. So, uh hopefully spawns are better today. There he is. Okay, still holding it. Get him over here. What the the boats inside of them. I've never seen this before. That is crazy. Okay, we got it set up again. And a creeper's in there. So, should die in a second. About now. It should die. There we go. Should be going up there. Yep. Okay, we're back in action. So, the creeper chamber's done. I think that might be everything done now. So, how about we give it a little design now? And I'm thinking I'm going to put a few creeper faces here and along. And I'm going to put a massive rocket somewhere. So, yeah, let's do the building montage. I like this farm. I like the the tunnels like showing all the water and the grates and all that. I think it looks good. Looks very like industrial.
Okay, so obviously this farm will work on its own, but at a slow rate because obviously we're getting the sugarcane and we're getting the gunpowder from the creepers. But I'll show you how to work the farm yourself. So we have three drop off points. First one being sugarcane. So I can come here, grab my sugarcane out, and just chuck it into here. Then I'll grab my paper and my gunpowder.
>> Wait, go back. Did you see that? Did you guys see that creeper face?
>> And I can throw my empty shulkers into here and they can get used. See, now all those items are going to get put into the factory and everything's going to start working.
>> Look how you can see with glass everything working. That's so good. Yeah, this is what I meant by this guy is really good at building farms. He even like makes it look super cool, too.
Crafting rockets are crafting,
>> which I think is pretty important. Okay. Oh, and this is the creeper face I was talking about.
>> Didn't that look cool?
>> Bring sugarcane, paper, or gunpowder.
>> Wait, go back. Boom. Right here.
>> Fire, bro. This This dude is so good.
>> Still be profitable. Paper waters are a little high right now.
>> Videos for like a year now. And he's been posting consistently. Like I I love this guy.
>> I am paying way more than I should as you can see. And one gunpowder. I recommend using creeper spawners, but you don't go by these cuz there's such a low amount ordered. So they'll disappear. Prices are higher right now because the server is absolutely popping with this many players. For the gunpowder, definitely use creeper spawners and do orders at the same time. But yeah, from my orders, I'm just going to throw a lot of this in and we'll see how many rockets we can get. And remember, depending on the time of day for rockets, you can get around, I'd say $100 is pretty normal, but they can go upwards of 120 to 140. I've sometimes seen 200. So, yeah, I'm going to let all these crafters just go at it, and then we'll come back and sell the rockets and see how much money we'll make.
Right as I was about to AFK, someone actually teleported into the base. But honestly, he was super chill about it. I offered him 100 million, 50 up front and 50 after, and he happily accepted. So, shout out to this guy. I do this with all my builds, so if you ever find me, just leave your name. Okay, I've cleared my balance to zero. You can see my money on the right side of the screen. And I'm going to fill rocket orders and see how much we get.
>> Oh my gosh, that's a lot of rockets. What?
>> 200 million. Is it because they had sugarcane orders and got
>> Okay, so that's all of them. We made almost 50 mil. So, I don't know why I thought for a second I was going to make 200 mil, but I would like to make 200 mil before the guy that found the base comes back, but if not, I'll settle for 100 mil. So, we'll just AFK the farm more. I think I have more on my orders. We'll throw in more gunpowder. Okay, we have a little bit of sugar can have a sugar. Not bad. Then we'll see how much paper there is. Okay, so we got a fair bit of paper. So, we'll throw that in. Okay, I'll see how much we have.
>> I wonder how much of a profit is.
>> I've been AFK for pretty much all day now, but yeah, it's still crafting rockets at an insane rate. So, we'll sell and we'll see how much we'll make.
>> Oh my god.
>> Okay, so we're sitting at 158 million. Yeah, the rocket orders right now.
>> Basically just using the crafting and not the farms. Yeah. Yeah. I I think if he wanted to make this farm really good, he would probably have to wait until the mob cap gets increased on Don SMP once the world border expands and gotten creepers like that and he would have had to make the creeper area of the base way bigger. And then he probably would have had to make the uh sugarcane area of the base way bigger too so it could actually be automatic. Super low from what I've seen before. I'm guessing cuz of the high traffic on the server right now. But I guess this is what it comes down to with this farm though. It just depends what players are paying at the time. Now I'm going to try to make that last 40 mil just to get 200 million to make myself
bro reacts to YouTube videos laughing emoji. Stop talking. Can you play donut SMPP? We don't care. Donut I love your hair. Cute, bro. Okay, there we go. See, that's a nice one. Why can't I join the server? It says network protocol error. I don't know. Happy. But if not, I'm not too fuss because I'm super
>> Some just typed you're ugly. All right.
>> But happy with how this build turned out. This was a super fun project, but I'll AFK a little longer and hopefully I can hit it. Okay, I ended up triple stacking all these crafters because it was taking way too long. This is just way faster now. And I had a look over here and we should have enough to sell, I think. And rocket prices are still low, sadly. But I did end up putting all the creeper spawners down. So I had 80 here. I'm just throwing it as I go. Okay, I've been putting my stuff up here. Let's do this final sell.
>> 200 mil. Let's go.
>> All right, we're done here. Yo, did I miss the part of the video where he said how much he spent in materials in order to make 200 million?
Now, would I build this farm? I did this as a challenge. So happy with how it turned out. But it all depends how many creeper spawners you have or how much you're paying for sugarcane, paper, gunpowder. Yeah. If you want me to make a bigger one with a massive creeper spawn pad and a bigger sugarcane part, let me
>> Yeah. Yeah. I think that would be cool in the future if you were to make one of those. And what by the way what what he does what this guy does if you guys have ever watched them before he always makes a schematic for the builds. So if you want to build this yourself on SMPP I think he he makes them public and there's a mod you can get that like puts a blueprint in game for you to be able to just build exactly what he built. You can replace the copper with like a cheaper block if you want to replace all the copper with stone or something. Um, you can. But this specific base right here I don't think is one that people are going to use to make a good amount of money. I think this is one to build if you just kind of want to have fun because I don't think this is the most profitable profitable thing you can build in Donut SMP. Um, maybe he could build like a different schematic that actually is more profitable where it doesn't have like the creeper farm or the sugarcane farm or something where it's just the crafting part. That looks cool. I don't know. I think that would be super cool. Like if he had different variations of each schematic that he made for each video. Like what if what if at the end of this video he made a schematic or like at the end he showcased by the way, if you want to make this yourself, I made a schematic version where the sugarcane farm is 10 times bigger and then the creeper farm is 10 times bigger or I made a version where it's just the crafting or I made a version where it's all just this and just that and he like showed all the details for how much money each part makes. Dude, this is even if he doesn't do that, I think this is still super cool. But I think that's a cool idea and something I think a lot of people would download this guy next just for that. Hey, we're just going to leave the guy that found the base this sign. And don't worry, guys. I'm going to pay him the other 50 mil. Oh, he's online. Oh, I just realized this is not McDonald's themed. Did anyone just realize that? This is his first build that's not McDonald's themed.
>> There he goes.
>> Bro, this guy got popular from Tik Tok. He he built McDonald's stashes and popularized his or not stashes, McDonald's farms and got popular. Look at his totem. His totem is his McDonald's skin.
>> I just realized that. But yeah, I remember he was known as the McDonald's guy. That's what I knew him as, but now I know him as Ravix because he's posted so many videos and I've been watching him for so long.
>> If you want the schematic for this farm, it's in my huge thank you to my YouTube members. If you want to be featured here, consider joining. Thanks for watching.
