Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about configuring Minecraft A and SRV DNS records, hiding ports, and Cloudflare settings.
DNS & SRV Configuration
An SRV (Service) record is a specialized DNS record that routes Minecraft players from a domain (e.g., play.yourdomain.com) to your server's exact IP and port behind the scenes. This lets players join without needing to type a custom port number like :25565 or :25577.
Cloudflare's HTTP proxy only handles web traffic (HTTP/HTTPS) and blocks standard TCP game packets. Minecraft connections will fail unless you set your A record to 'DNS Only' (unproxied / gray cloud).
Domain Setup & Propagation
DNS changes usually propagate within 5 to 15 minutes, but depending on your DNS provider and ISP cached resolvers, it can take up to 24 hours globally.
SRV records must always point to a hostname/domain name (like your A record sub.example.com), never directly to a numerical IP address.
