What SRV Records Do

Hide the port. Players type `play.example.com` instead of `play.example.com:25566`.
Hide the real hostname. Players don't see the underlying hosting provider address.
Enable failover. Multiple SRV records with different priorities give you automatic failover to backup servers.
DNS propagation. After creating the record, wait 5-60 minutes for DNS caches to update. Test with `dig SRV _minecraft._tcp.play.example.com` or online DNS checkers.
Port default 25565: if your server runs on 25565 (default), you don't need an SRV record — just point an A/AAAA record directly.
