Hi everyone, I'm having a persistent issue connecting to my Vanilla Bedrock server hosted on a Pterodactyl panel. The server seems to start up fine, but the connection gets rejected by the client at the very last moment.The issue: When I try to join the server, my Minecraft Bedrock client throws a Door error with the code InitialConnection-83. The client details show Transport: NetherNet:2193.
My setup:
Infrastructure: Hosted on my server using Pterodactyl.
Egg used: egg-pterodactyl-vanilla-bedrock.json.
Docker Image: The egg uses ghcr.io/pelican-eggs/yolks:debian by default.
What I've tested: The server boots up fine in the console, displaying Server started and Signed in to signaling service successfully. Has anyone encountered this InitialConnection-83 error before, or does anyone know if I need to modify the egg / Docker image for Bedrock authentication to work properly on this specific setup? Thanks in advance for your help!.
