Use a Custom Domain (and Hide the Port) with an SRV Record

Stop giving out `123.45.6.7:25567`. Map a clean domain to your server using DNS SRV.

The Problem

Shared hosts use non-standard ports. Telling players play.endercloud.in:25567 is ugly and they often drop the port. SRV records solve it, players type play.endercloud.in and the client resolves the port automatically.

What You Need

A domain (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, any DNS provider with SRV support)
Your Endercloud panel IP and port

Step 1, A Record

First, point the domain at the IP:

Type: A
Name: play (or @ for the root)
Content: your server IP
Proxy (Cloudflare): OFF, Minecraft is TCP, Cloudflare's HTTP proxy will break it

Step 2, SRV Record

Field	Value
Type	SRV
Service	`_minecraft`
Protocol	`_tcp`
Name	the subdomain (e.g. `play`) or `@`
Priority	`0`
Weight	`5`
Port	your panel's port
Target	the A-record you made above (e.g. `play.endercloud.in`)

Cloudflare displays this as a single combined SRV form; older registrars want each field separately. Both are fine.

Step 3, Wait For DNS

⏱ Cloudflare: 1–3 minutes
⏱ Most registrars: 5–30 minutes
⏱ Worst case: 24 hours

Test with:

nslookup -type=SRV _minecraft._tcp.play.endercloud.in

Players now use play.endercloud.in with no port.

Bedrock Note

Bedrock clients ignore SRV. If you run GeyserMC, give Bedrock its own A-record (e.g. pe.endercloud.in) and tell those players to enter the Bedrock port manually.
