1. Get Your Server IP and Port First, find the Numeric IP Address and Port of your server from the Pterodactyl Panel. For example: 123.45.67.89:25565.
  • IP: 123.45.67.89
  • Port: 25565
2. Log In to Your Domain’s DNS Panel Go to the website where you purchased your domain (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare) and navigate to its DNS management panel. 3. Configure DNS Records You need to create two records: an A Record and an SRV Record. Step 1: Create the A Record (Same as above)
  • Type: A
  • Name/Host: play
  • Value/Points to: Your server’s IP Address (123.45.67.89).
Step 2: Create the SRV Record This automatically handles the port redirection.
  • Type: SRV
  • Service: _minecraft
  • Protocol: _tcp
  • Name/Host: Enter the subdomain you just created (e.g., play).
  • Target: Enter the full subdomain address (play.yourdomain.com).
  • Priority: 0
  • Weight: 5
  • Port: Enter your server’s Port (25577).
  • TTL: Leave it as default.
Once saved, players can still connect using play.yourdomain.com (without typing the port). 4. Wait for Propagation DNS changes need time to spread across the globe, usually taking anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours. Be patient. Afterwards, you can try connecting to your server in Minecraft using your new domain.
