How to Make a Custom IP Address for Your Server
Link a domain name to your Minecraft server using a SRV DNS record.
Choosing A Domain Provider
There are a lot of places where you can register a domain. Here are a few popular ones:
- Endercloud Domains
- Freenom ā for free domains
> We're unrelated to the above services and are simply providing examples. Feel free to use any domain provider you want.
Creating A SRV Record
You are required to use a SRV record to link your domain to your Minecraft server. Some domain providers like Freenom don't provide this, so we recommend that you use Cloudflare.
To create a SRV record, go to your domain's DNS settings. Create a new record, then follow the table below:
| Record Type | Name | Service | Priority | Weight | Port | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRV | @ | _minecraft | 0 | 5 | YOUR_PORT | your-server-ip |
- Replace
your-server-ipwith your Minecraft server's IP, for exampleindia7.endercloud.in - Make sure to change
portto your server's port
> ā±ļø It may take up to 24 hours for your DNS settings to be updated.
You should be able to join your server with your new custom IP.
