- You have a Minecraft client for joining (paid or non-paid).

What does the Connect Plugin do?
Disabling "enforce secure player profiles" Required
Since Minecraft 1.19 the enforce-secure-profile property was introduced. Players joining through the Connect Network to your server won't be able to join if this setting is enabled. It is safe to disable this setting as it only affects chat messages. F
enforce-secure-profile=false
# If you disable online-mode, then enforce-secure-profile has no effect
online-mode=trueforce-key-authentication=false
# If you disable online-mode, then force-key-authentication has no effect
online-mode=trueenforce_secure_profile=false
# If you disable online-mode, then enforce-secure-profile has no effect
online_mode=trueJoining 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:
endpoint: your-server-nameThe environment variable
CONNECT_ENDPOINTtakes 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.
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.
Joining from your custom domain
Go to Endpoint Domains to learn how to use your own domain for your server.
