I own a Minecraft Server with a non standard port and i want the user to connect without port. So i tried setting up an A and a SRV Record for my Domain.

A Record:


join.domainName.xyz
MineCraftServerIP


SRV Record:


_minecraft._tcp.join.domainName.xyz
Priority:0
Weight:5
minecraftServerPort
join.domainName.xyz


if i run nslookup -q=SRV _minecraft._tcp.join.domainName.xyz i get

priority = 0
weight = 5
port = minecraftServerPort
svr hostname = join


but on Minecraft i get "Cant resolve Hostname", if i add the minecraftServerPort behind join.domainName.xyz, it is working, i thought SRV Record can be used to hide the port?
