Joining your Server

Every server has a unique configurable Endpoint name that directly reflects the domain players can join the server with. If you leave this field empty, Connect will use a temporary random endpoint name for your server provided by the Random Name Service.

You can always update that endpoint name in the config:

plugins/connect/config.yml

endpoint: your-server-name

Gate config.yml

connect:
  name: your-server-name

The environment variable CONNECT_ENDPOINT takes precedence over the configuration file.

Joining with free provided Public Domain

After installing Connect plugin and starting your server you will see the free public domain for your server that looks like <endpoint>.play.minekube.net.

Server Console

[connect] Enabling connect vX.Y.Z
[connect] Enpoint name: live-beru
[connect] Your public address: live-beru.play.minekube.net

Use that same endpoint hostname in either edition:

Client	Server address	Port
Java Edition	<endpoint>.play.minekube.net	25565 (normally omitted)
Bedrock Edition	<endpoint>.play.minekube.net	19132

Verified custom domains work the same way: Java and Bedrock use the same hostname and their edition's normal port.

Ping requests are also mirrored to the endpoint server.

Joining from Browser Hub

Players can also discover your server from the in-game Browser Hub at minekube.net and can join with the in-game UIs or with the /browser join <your-server-name> command. Offline/cracked Java players use cracked.minekube.net or cracked.minekube.com instead and can only enter endpoints that explicitly allow them.

See Who Can Join for the Java, Bedrock, account-linking, and offline-mode identity matrix.
