authserver.mojang.com DNS lookup returns no IP address

share the actual error when u boot up the server
!logs
Please check your server log for errors from your plugins.
If you need further help understanding the errors, please send us the whole log file.
Where can I find the server log?
Logs are stored in
<server_directory>/logs/. Search for a file explorer in your server's management interface and navigate to that directory. Once you've opened that up, search for the latest.log file. Some providers have a separate page for logs and may hide the "logs" folder.
On Aternos:
• Go to https://aternos.org/log/.
On Minehut and server.pro:
• Go to the "files" tab in the left menu.
• Navigate to the root directory of your server.
• From there navigate to /logs/latest.log.
What should I do with the log?
• First of all, read it! I mean, that's what you do all the time when you run a server, isn't it? Try to locate any errors that have anything to do with the issue you are facing.
• If you got the latest.log file or created a .txt file with the necessary errors you can upload these directly to the channel, but we prefer if you upload them to https://mclo.gs/.
• If you have trouble downloading the log file, copy/paste the text to a paste service (like mclogs). Copy the link that it gives you and send it to us. (Don't worry, McLogs hides your users' IPs.)Admincraft Canned Responses
Sounds like you're using a container that isn't setup to access the internet right
We have uploaded your file to a paste service for better readability
Paste services are more mobile friendly and easier to read than just posting a file
latest.log

it's not in a container, running bare metal on a server
and i'm also getting the same weird DNS records on my personal pc, vps, other vps, the server and using third party dns lookup services
can you share logs where the errors occur?
this is what the DNS lookup looks like
ID=null sounds like your client didn't authenticate, IE you're either using a cracked client or your client couldn't reach Mojang Auth servers.
Who are you using as a dns provider
That is not odd
That server is gone
authserver is not used anymore.
i'm just using the curseforge version of atm9 no frills, with a genuine minecraft account
Can you log into the server and share the errors please.
DNS Servers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 8.4.4.8 2606:4700:4700::1111 2606:4700:4700::1001
Share the client errors, not the server.
i sent the logs above
oh client errors ok
Looks like the error is client sided
the server logs see nothing about you trying to connect to it, so yes this is a client problem (unless the server has no internet access)
The very last lines
client logs

why do you have yeetusexperimentus on the server
oops, im just looking at the discord thing since OP is not uploading to mclogs
That’s a client mod
literally no idea, i just downloaded the serverfiles that the modpack provided
i'll remove those and try again
no wait it's the other way around
also btw, the ATM peeps have a discord server and will be a lot better at helping troubleshoot the modpack
a very very active discord server too
a server 8x this one
Never seen permissions denied from making network requests
The bot auto uploads to mclo.gs
line 501 also seems to have a permission denied error a http request but to mojang servers
ye i see that, i've just have a bad habbit of avoiding it since how in the past it never uploaded the logs properly (which has been since fixed)
are you using a host? or self hosting?
self hosting
running on a debian bookworm self-hosted server
Try using a vanilla client and connecting to hypixel real quick
works
https://mcsrvstat.us/
can u ping ur server with this?
yep
try setting up a vanilla server on the machine, and try joining with a vanilla client
i have one set up and running rn, and it's working
(prob should have mentioned that earlier tbh)
^ would recommend joining ATM discord and asking there
This is Linux afterall
What distribution are you using
arch
yea it seems to be an issue with the modpack client, i'll go ask over there
Did you fuck with firewall rules at any point by any chance
Also what launcher are you using
yes but none were persisted with iptables-save
curseforge launcher that launches the vanilla launcher
^
..what
curseforge launcher just launches the vanilla client with the modpack
oh
You said vanilla launcher
yes
it launches
the vanilla launcher.
you hit play and it opens the minecraft launcher
then u hit play on the vanilla minecraft launcher again and it boots up modded minecraft
Are you using CurseForge from Flathub by any means @Juliapixel
I don't even know if that's a thing
nope, using the appimage
But worth asking
Can you try Prism
pls just ignore all this and go and ask the actual devs at the pack
yea im just gonna try that
thank u for all the help
:LOVEcat:
Sorry we couldn't fix it! At least narrowed it down to the client/modpack itself.
im gonna close this thread now if thats ok then
well keep it open
once u find the solution share it
trueee
good point
incase other peeps have a similar issue
This sounds like an Arch moment
:Alright:
Are you even sure systemd resolved is working properly
yep
Not sure if the firewall itself is at fault here. The vanilla client can reach the internet, the modded client gets permission denied.
@Juliapixel what Java distribution are you using
Can you try getting a clean one from Adoptium
Also disable SELinux and whatnot if you have that
jre-openjdk 22.0.1
dont have any of that
try eclipse adoptium JDK 22
prob wont help

Try the above
And also try to use Prism natively
i really don't see how that would work but i'll try it after i ask around in allthemods' discord server
alright
@QarthO wait
I think to get access to the ATM discord you need to pay for patreon...
I remember that
I just checked and you do
tf
no lmao
@QarthO
qartho has reached level 10!
Roles Added:
Level 10
u cheecked wrong my guy
gg
can you send an invite
just google atm discord, prob the first link
I'll send it when the bot deletes it
^
81k members, its massive compared to this server
oh
I'm dumb?
possibly
react to the message
if you've already reacted, just remove and re-react
I am.
Okay lol
ok well no one responded to me in the atm9 server
i just switched over to prism launcher (flatpak version) and it works now
i think it's just a curseforge bug
