Current Release: 0.0.1
**This is my first .NET Core application, so expect some bugs, typos, etc.**
NXMineNS is a .NET Core application that takes DNS requests from your switch, and tells the switch a different IP than what it was originally looking for. What this allows is the use of a custom Minecraft server on console.
In theory this should work for other consoles, however only tested on the switch version.
This tool can be compiled to run anywhere NET Core 2.1 can run. However, I built pre-compiled binaries for the community to use for Windows, Linux, and Mac (64 bit, Windows has 32 bit.)
How to use
According to .NET Core Documentation, an install might not be required since all dependencies are distributed with the executable. So you can skip installing .NET core, but if you have issues, try installing that first.
Windows Instructions
- Download the latest release to a computer of choice.
- Make sure .NET core 2.1+ is installed on your computer and run the NXMineNS.exe (NXMineNS.exe 192.168.1.12(Replace with IP of desired server))
- Make your computers IP Address the Primary DNS in your Switches Network settings.
- Open Minecraft
- Watch as most if not all the different featured servers all show the custom servers stats.
Linux Instructions (Debian / Ubuntu) & Mac OSX
- Download the latest release to a computer of choice.
- Make sure .NET core 2.1+ is installed on your computer and run the NXMineNS (dotnet ./NXMineNS 192.168.1.12(Replace with IP of desired server))
- Make your computers IP Address the Primary DNS in your Switches Network settings.
- Open Minecraft
- Watch as most if not all the different featured servers all show the custom servers stats.
NOTE: THIS MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL TO BAN? NOT SURE IF DNS REDIRECTIONS FALL UNDER NINTENDO BAN HAMMER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
