I recently bought a domain to set up a Minecraft server and I'm trying to configure it with Cloudflare. I followed the steps to set up DNS for port 25565, and while I can connect fine, mcstatus says the server is offline, and no one else can join. What could be going wrong?

I had a similar issue before! It sounds like your DNS setup is correct since you can connect, but others can't. Since you mentioned setting up an SRV record, make sure that it's pointing to the correct A record you've created. If you followed a tutorial, check if all the steps were followed exactly. If you're using SRV records, your others users should connect using just your domain name without specifying the port. Let me know if this helps!
It sounds like there might be some confusion about how DNS works and port configurations. DNS is just for translating the hostname to an IP address; it doesn't handle port forwarding directly. Make sure you've set up an 'A' record in Cloudflare pointing to your server's IP using the '@' symbol. You might also want to double-check the port settings in your Minecraft server to ensure it's set to accept connections on port 25565. Don't forget that anyone joining needs to use your domain with the port attached, like `example.com:25565`.
