One address for players to join

Give players one address for your game server that keeps its own address hidden, and connect servers you host somewhere else.

A join address is a name such as survival-smp.coritan.gg that players type in their game. It carries them to your server, and they never see the server’s own address.

• 25565 the Minecraft Java port, routed by the name players type
• 19132 the Minecraft Bedrock port, which Bedrock players add to the name
• No charge for a join address to a server hosted here

A join address costs nothing for a server hosted here. An External Server plan has a price of its own, listed below.

Technical specifications

How a join address carries players, and what your server receives.

Editions and ports

• Minecraft Java: Port 25565, shared by every Java join address and routed by the name players type
• Minecraft Bedrock: Players add port 19132 to the name
• TCP service: A port of its own on the edge, for a server hosted here

Your server

• Players’ addresses: PROXY protocol version 2, or in the Java handshake
• Server list: Name, message and icon, shown while the server is offline too
• Your own domain: One you own, such as play.example.com

Protection

• Floods of connections: A rejoin check, and a short block for an address that opens too many
• Your server’s address: Hidden from players

External Server

• What it carries: Minecraft Java or Bedrock, from a server hosted anywhere

What a join address gives you

Every join address comes with these. A tag says how each one comes.

Games

• Minecraft Java and Bedrock (Included). Java players type the name alone. Bedrock players add port 19132.
• Other games over TCP (Included). For a server hosted here, a join address can carry any game that connects over TCP, on a port of its own. Other games that use UDP, such as Rust and Valheim, need a floating IP instead.

Protection

• Your server out of sight (Included). Players connect to our network, which passes them on to your server, so they never see its own address.
• Protection from floods (Included). During a flood of connections, we ask players to join a second time, and the second attempt goes through. We block an address for a while when it opens too many connections in a short time.

Your server’s identity

• Your own domain (Included). Let players join at a domain you own, such as play.example.com.
• Your server list entry (Included). Set the name, message and icon players see in their game’s server list, even while your server is offline.
• Players’ own addresses (Included). Turn on PROXY protocol version 2, and your server sees each player’s own address. What your server receives

How it works, and what customers use it for

1. Say where the server runs. Choose one of your game servers hosted here, or order an External Server plan for one you run elsewhere.
2. Choose the name. Choose a free name under coritan.gg, and link your own domain if you have one.
3. Give players the address. Players type the name in their game, and we carry them to your server.

What customers use a join address for

Each one names what it takes and the guide that walks through it.

• A Minecraft server at home. Keep the server where it is, and give players a join address that hides your home address. Uses: An External Server plan. Connect a server you host elsewhere
• A server at your own domain. Link play.example.com to the join address, and players type your name in place of ours. Uses: A game server and a join address. Use your own domain for a join address
• A TCP game hosted here. Create a TCP service join address for the server, and players type the name with the port it gets. Uses: A game server and a join address. Create a join address

Limits

What a join address does not do.

Fixed limits

• Games over UDP: Minecraft Bedrock works through a join address. Other UDP games, such as Rust and Valheim, need a floating IP
• TCP service: Only for a server hosted here
• Minecraft Bedrock: A join address uses NetherNet, the connection recent Bedrock versions use. A server that speaks only the older RakNet protocol cannot take players this way
• Renaming: Not possible. Create another join address for the same server

A floating IP for UDP games

Games other than Minecraft Bedrock that connect over UDP need a floating IP, an address of the server’s own.
