HOW TO CONNECT A CUSTOM DOMAIN

DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM

Introduction to Custom Domains

If you’re wanting to make your server unique, you’ll want to get rid of the .minehut.gg domain, and connect your own. This means example.com, or play.example.com will bring you straight to your Minehut server.

Owning the Domain:

  • Obviously you’ll need to own the domain. You can purchase a domain using a domain provider, such as Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Google.

Adding the DNS Record:

  • You need to add something called a DNS Record to your domain. This is done differently in different domain providers.
  • The type of record we need is a SRV Record. The service we need is _minecraft (the _ is important!). The protocol is _tcp
  • The name is whatever you want users to join with. For example if your domain is example.com, you might want users to join with mc.example.com, so you would enter mc in there.
  • The target is your direct connect to your Minehut server. For example if your server name is coolServer, your direct connect would be coolServer.minehut.gg.
  • Enter 1 for both the priority & weight, enter 25565 for the port, and leave the TTL to its current, default value. Then save this.
  • Here is a screenshot of what it should look like, keep in mind it will look different depending on what domain provider you use!

I did this, but I'm having trouble connecting to my server. I put my server ip (play.crytkeemc.net), and it shows the Minehut MOTD and playercount. Is there anyway to fix this?

Did you just change the server name not the domain or did you change the domain?

The server name is still crytkee.minehut.gg . I followed all the steps correctly and it still is showing mc.minehut.gg's playercount and MOTD.

When you join play.crytkee.net, does it take you to your server? I recomend, if you want a custom domain for a minehut server, to get MHunlimited. For example play.woolgens.net

It brings me to the minehut lobby as if I put mc.minehut.com in the Server Address.
