Some people can't connect to my minecraft server.
I have everything set so people join through my cloudflare domain, it seems to be working for most people (id say 9/10) but some people can't connect to it at all.. I have no idea why this is happening.

You can't proxy DNS minecraft records
Wdym
@Brian How are you DNS records setup, is the cloud orange or gray
If it's orange, you MUST make it gray. If it's gray, its not cloudflare problem
orange i think
Then you need to make it gray, as Orange = Proxied, which is for Web (http/https) traffic only
No need to block out the IP, you can get it anyway
This isn't a cloudflare problem. However if it's minecraft, it's probably the AAAA record, minecraft doesn't like IPV6
Also you may want to get rid of that SRV record, because its just pointing back to your hostname anyway, and your port is 25565
wdym
Which bit
.
like I just want the IP to work for everyone
The 4th item on the screen is an SRV record to say "if you put just chilledsmp.org in the IP, then look at "chilledsmp.org:25565" for the server"
But minecraft does that anyway
so delete the SRV and AAAA record, and see how it goes
then keep the A record
No, I need the SRV and AAAA is automatically being done, its automatically updating the IP
SRV join points to A so it can be deleted
AAAA is ipv6 only, minecraft doesn't fully support IPV6
You NEED just the A record
If the AAAA (ipv6) is automatically being updated, fix your software so it only does the A (ipv4)
do u by chance also know a way of getting UDP to work on cloudflare?
I assume for Bedrock?
Cloudflare doesn't do any of the TCP/UDP for minecraft. it just manages your DNS.
nope
Voicechat
That will be nothing to do with CF
?
Can you form a proper sentence instead of a single character answer. Voice chat doesn't go through cloudflare.
I didn't understand, and u seem to get what i meant
Mh
the voicechat i'm guessing is running on the same IP / Server? So it will have a different port (probably 25564 if it's the voicechat plugin i'm thinking of). as long as you have the IP in a dns A record in cloudflare then the voicechat should be connected.
if your voicechat isn't connecting then it's probably an issue with the firewall setup on your server. i don't really know how the backend of your server is setup so i cannot help you further.
but i agree with james, the AAAA record and SRV record are completely unneeded and will just cause extra issues.
the port is 25565, I am using simple voice chat. and firewall is inactive, I am using ubunto server with CasaOS and Crafty
both on the router and on the system 25565 is open as TCP and UDP
yes i think by default simple voice chat runs on 25564
yea but I changed it to the 25565
if you want to host it on the same port as the minecraft server you need set the port (in the config file for the voicechat plugin) to -1
but it's still a better idea to have it running on a seperate port and to allow that port through the firewall
both dont work
I have tried everything, disabling firewall, allowing the port, and so on
i know it sounds silly, but have you tried restarting the host machine? i remember having a similar issue and restarting the host fixed it
I can try to do that again
uhm, if you've already tried it once i don't think it will work the second time
always worth a shot
you can try
you mentioned using ubuntu. have you allowed the port through ufw?
yep
and setting the port to -1 in the config didn't fix the issue?
correct
okay
sorry the port it 24464 i misquoted it at the beginning
though the -1 trick should have still worked
try making it 24464 and then restarting the server (the mc server not the host) and see if that works
its 25564
not 24464
u were right the 1st time
https://cdn.phaz.uk/i/firefox_8DTPeP03V2.png oh god i misquoted it again lmfao
oh
i changed it too 25564
nope nothing
not even if i use localhost
I just downgraded to an older version aswell and nothing changed
hmm weird
you sure the plugin is even running?
like if you check the server logs does it say anything about voicechat starting up?
or voicechat listening?
yep
is 25564 still an open port?
yep
https://cdn.phaz.uk/i/firefox_SQVbRbVP4s.png portchecker.co is claiming that it's still closed
that ip is the one behind chilledsmp.org
are you sure you don't have ufw running?
100%
run sudo ufw status
can you send the output here?
sure
also i did shut down the server idk if that has an effect on that thing
shouldn't do
uhh okay
if i check with my normal ip it says its open
no port 25564 which you opened for voicechat
25565 is for the minecraft server
I changed it back to 25565 again
since the change didnt help
its cloudflare
making it to the same port at the minecraft server will not help as both the minecraft server and the voicechat mod cannot listen on the same port at the same time
my alternate ip is working
this is checking through cloudflare's proxy so it's looking at port 25565 on cloudflares servers which is not going to be open
both still dont allow the voice chat to work
if you do an actual dns request for that domain is returns your ip
85... which has port 25565 open
cloudflare isn't the issue
if you want voicechat to run on 25565 you need to set the port to -1 in the config
this whole thing should really be a ticket in the simple voice chat mod discord and not here since this is for cloudflare issues
i can guarantee that this isn't a cloudflare issue.24464 is also not working, I just tried it
i did
did you restart the server after setting the port to -1 in the config?
yes
i don't know then, i cannot help you any further. i'd recommend opening a ticket in the simple voice chat discord server
damn
ngl its pissing me off lmao
yeah i had a similar issue a while back on one of my servers
how did u solve it?
rebooted the host machine, but i think it was an issue with the firewall with the service i was using as a host
i think me restarting the machine updated the firewall settings
they were absolutely useless
Why not just test with a differenty port, it literally says "Not recommended" because 25565 udp has other things usually flowing through it
yeah they tried 24454 but apparently it wasn’t working
