Minecraft Bedrock Edition does not support SRV records or subdomains. To avoid players having to specify a port, you would need port 19132 (the default Bedrock port) allocated to your server. This may not always be available.
The more “premium” approach to getting a custom ip / hostname for your server
Register or Buy a Domain
You need a domain to use as your custom server address. You can purchase one from Cloudflare .
Create the A Record
Go to Cloudflare’s DNS manager and create an A record using the details in the Minecraft Bedrock A Record Setup Details table below.
| Name | Type | IPv4 Address | TTL | Proxy Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| play | A | Your server’s IP address (example: 123.45.67.89) | Auto | DNS only |
Wait and Check
Wait about 10 minutes for DNS propagation. You can then join your server using play.yourdomain.tld in the ip field, and yourport in the port field. If it’s still not working on your end, please ask someone else to test it as well. If it doesn’t work for them either, kindly verify that the DNS records are configured correctly. If everything appears to be in order, please allow up to 8 hours for propagation.
