Domain Bridge

📖 Description

DomainBridge is a lightweight Minecraft plugin designed to automatically update your server’s DNS records whenever the server starts.
No more manual IP changes — players can always connect through your chosen domain or subdomain (e.g. mc.yourdomain.com), even if your public IP changes.

Key Features:

• 🔄 Auto‑update DNS records on server startup
• 🌐 Supports subdomains (e.g. mc.yourdomain.de)
• 🔑 Secure Cloudflare API token authentication
• ⚙️ Configurable TTL (Time To Live) for DNS caching

⚙️ Configuration

After installing, a config.yml file will be generated in your plugin folder. Example:

# DomainBridge Configuration
domain: "mc.yourdomain.de"
provider: "cloudflare"
zone_id: "YOUR_ZONE_ID"
record_id: "YOUR_RECORD_ID"
api_token: "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
ttl: 120

Explanation

• domain → The hostname players use to join (e.g. mc.yourdomain.de)
• provider → DNS provider (cloudflare)
• zone_id → Found in Cloudflare dashboard under your domain overview
• record_id → Retrieved via Cloudflare API for the specific DNS record
• api_token → Scoped Cloudflare API token with DNS edit permissions
• ttl → Time To Live in seconds (e.g. 120 = 2 minutes cache)

📥 Installation Guide

1. Download the latest DomainBridge .jar from Modrinth.
2. Place the file into your server’s plugins/ directory.
3. Start the server once to generate the default config.yml.
4. Edit config.yml with your domain, zone ID, record ID, and API token.
5. Restart the server.
6. Done! Your DNS record will now automatically update with your current IP.
