Connecting a Custom Domain
Learn how to connect your custom domain to your Seedloaf!
Step 1: Open Your Domain DNS Settings
Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider (such as Cloudflare, Namecheap, or GoDaddy) and navigate to the DNS Management section for your domain.
Step 2: Create a CNAME Record
Add a new CNAME record with the following settings:
- Type:
CNAME - Name:
play(createsplay.yourdomain.com) - Target: e.g.
yoursubdomain.seedloaf.gg(do not include the port number or:) - Proxy: This will need to be turned off / disabled
Step 3: Create the SRV Record
Route Minecraft traffic and the custom port to your server:
| Field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Type | SRV | |
| Service | _minecraft | |
| Protocol | _tcp (or TCP) | |
| Name / Host | play | Use @ if you want players to connect using just yourdomain.com without play. |
| Priority | 0 | |
| Weight | 0 | |
| Port | [Your Server Port] | The numeric port assigned in your dashboard |
| Target | play.yourdomain.com | Must match the CNAME hostname created in Step 2 |
| TTL | Auto (or 3600) |
Note for providers with a single “Name” field: If your registrar does not have separate Service/Protocol fields, enter
_minecraft._tcp.playin the Name/Host field.
Step 4: Done ✅
Your custom domain is now linked! Keep in mind that DNS changes may take a few minutes to propagate. Once updated, you can connect to your server using your new domain!
