      @notjohn ahhhhh ok the last screen shot is the one i like
      Doesnt seem that port 25565 is open on the server.

      On the server run the following
      netstat -ano | findstr 25565

      If the port is listening my second question is do you have Windows Firewall enabled.

          Is the port listening?

          edit: Turning off windows firewall resolved this?

              @notjohn you execute the command on your Windows box - the same one you have RDP enabled on.

                  @notjohn Yes.
                  For example on my Windows 10 client

                  netstat -ano | findstr 5353
                    UDP    0.0.0.0:5353           *:*                                    16988

                      @notjohn hence your problem. Im not a minecraft expert here so dont know why your application isn't listening on the intended port but PFsense is not at fault.

                        @michmoor seems strange though because its just a port to open its not specific to minecraft, just the default port the game uses, so the fact it isnt getting through is fishy

                          @notjohn Im not sure you understand whats happening here.
                          The port is not open on your server. If the port is not open then why expect any outside connections to it to work?
                          Port 3389 is open on your server. The port is allowed on the firewall. Hence RDP is working.
                          Port 25565 is not open on your server. The port is allowed on the firewall. How can traffic be redirected to a port thats not open? You need to fix that.
                          Not a pfsense issue
