Zinc, Bnana, and Radon are the three most popular Meteor Client addons for DonutSMP, but each one takes a different approach to bypasses, combat modules, and overall philosophy. Choosing the right one depends on your playstyle — whether you want raw power, stealth, or a balance of both. This comparison breaks down the differences so you can pick the best client addon for your needs.
All three require Meteor Client as the base. If you have not installed Meteor yet, start there first.

Zinc Client — Best Overall
Zinc Client is the most popular Meteor addon for DonutSMP and the top organic traffic driver on our site — a clear indicator of how many players actively search for it. Zinc strikes the best balance between features, bypass quality, and ease of use.
Strengths
- Best all-around DonutSMP addon — modules designed specifically for Donut's anti-cheat
- Enhanced crystal aura — fast place-break cycles with configurable timing
- Custom HUD — target info, health display, and combat statistics
- Largest community — easy to find configs, guides, and support
Weaknesses
- Detection rate slightly higher than Bnana on some anti-cheats
- Some advanced modules have a learning curve
Best for: Players who want a single addon that does everything well on DonutSMP.
Bnana Client — Most Stable
Bnana Client takes the opposite approach from Radon — instead of packing in every possible feature, it focuses on doing fewer things extremely well. The result is the most stable and hardest-to-detect Meteor addon available.
Strengths
- Lowest detection rate — modules are tuned to mimic natural player behavior
- Extremely stable — rarely crashes or causes desync
- Lightweight — minimal FPS impact, works well on lower-end hardware
- Clean combat modules — killaura, reach, and velocity feel natural
Weaknesses
- Fewer modules than Zinc or Radon
- Less aggressive crystal PvP compared to Zinc
- Smaller community = fewer shared configs
Best for: Players who prioritize not getting caught and want subtle, reliable assistance.
Radon Client — Most Features
Radon Client is a fork of the now-discontinued Krypton Client and is the most feature-packed Meteor addon. It includes modules for every combat scenario — crystal PvP, bed wars, anchor PvP, and SMP utilities.
Strengths
- Most modules — covers every PvP and utility scenario
- Aggressive crystal PvP — fastest place-break cycles of the three
- Bed and anchor aura — unique modules not found in Zinc or Bnana
- Frequent updates — developers actively patch for new server updates
Weaknesses
- Higher detection risk due to aggressive module behavior
- More FPS impact than Zinc or Bnana
- Complexity — many settings to configure for optimal use
Best for: Experienced players who want maximum combat power and do not mind the higher detection risk.
Which Should You Choose?
Here is a simple decision guide:
- New to DonutSMP clients? → Start with Zinc. It has the largest community, most guides available, and works well out of the box.
- Worried about getting banned? → Use Bnana. Its low detection rate makes it the safest choice for players who want to keep their accounts.
- Want maximum combat power? → Go with Radon. If you are experienced and know how to configure modules properly, Radon gives you the most tools to work with.
- Play on anarchy servers? → Any of the three work, but consider ThunderHack Recode as a standalone alternative — it is purpose-built for anarchy PvP.
Can You Combine Them?
No. You should not run two combat-focused Meteor addons at the same time. Zinc, Bnana, and Radon all register their own combat modules (crystal aura, killaura, etc.), and having two sets of combat modules active will cause conflicts, crashes, and unpredictable behavior.
You can combine any one of these with non-combat addons like Meteor Rejects (utility) or Orion (visuals). See our Best Meteor Client Addons guide for recommended combinations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the most popular — Zinc, Bnana, or Radon?
Zinc is the most popular based on search volume and community size. Our site data shows Zinc Client as the #1 traffic driver among all client mods. Bnana and Radon have dedicated followings but smaller communities.
Are these addons free?
Yes, all three are free to download. Some may have Discord servers with premium configs or early access builds, but the core addons are free.
Do they work on servers other than DonutSMP?
Yes, but they are optimized for DonutSMP's anti-cheat specifically. On other servers with different anti-cheat systems, bypass effectiveness will vary. For general-purpose use, Zinc tends to be the most adaptable.
How often do they get updated?
All three are actively maintained as of 2026. Radon tends to get the most frequent updates, followed by Zinc and Bnana. After a major Minecraft version update, expect a few days to a week before addon updates are available.
Can I switch between them easily?
Yes. Remove the old addon .jar from your mods folder and add the new one. Your Meteor Client base stays the same. Note that module configs are addon-specific, so you will need to reconfigure your settings when switching.
