How to change the query port on a Minecraft server

Set query.port=25565 in server.properties with enable-query=true and restart the server. Query requests are answered on that UDP port.

query.port

Sets the UDP port the query protocol listens on.

query.port=<port>

Examples

query.port=25565

Default.

Arguments

portRequired
The value to write after the equals sign.

What it does

Only used when enable-query is true. It can share the number of server-port because query uses UDP.

Good to know

  • Changes take effect after a server restart.
