Cloudflared tunnel problems

Context: I am getting into selfhosting and want to host a game server(Minecraft should take the port 25565 and need tcp traffic) through a cloudflared tunnel through my own domain.
A connection from the outside does not appear possible, although I do not know its reason, in the following I will go through the steps I took, I would be very grateful for any tips or ideas.
I am using Windows 10 Pro (I know I know) using a x64 based processor.

My steps so far:
1.Bought a domain (dawncore.de) via Strato
2.Created a cloudflare account and replaced the Nameservers with the Nameservers from Cloudflare
3.Downloaded the latest version of cloudflared on the homeserver
4.Logged in, downloaded the credentials from cloudflare
5.Created a new tunnel "mc-tunnel"
6.Created a config file like this
tunnel: 4335c8a4-dfed-44ed-a993-d0706213beb4
credentials-file: C:\Users\Admin\.cloudflared\4335c8a4-dfed-44ed-a993-d0706213beb4.json
 
ingress:
  - hostname: mc.dawncore.de
    service: tcp://localhost:25565 
  - service: http_status:404
tunnel: 4335c8a4-dfed-44ed-a993-d0706213beb4
credentials-file: C:\Users\Admin\.cloudflared\4335c8a4-dfed-44ed-a993-d0706213beb4.json
 
ingress:
  - hostname: mc.dawncore.de
    service: tcp://localhost:25565 
  - service: http_status:404

7. Started the tunnel-> I dont see any mention of "configuration updated" or smt like that, furthermore when I run "cloudflared tunnel info mc-tunnel" It does not say that it has a configuration.
8.Tested the connection internally on the server -> Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 127.0.0.1 -Port 25565 -> TcpTestSucceed True
9.More tests -> Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen | Where-Object {$_.LocalPort -eq 25565} -> Remote Address :: RemotePort 25565
10.Testing from within the local network but a different PC -> Test-NetConnection -ComputerName mc.dawncore.de -Port 25565 -> TcpTestSucceed False
11.Ive launched a temporary gameserver but no incoming traffic can be detected.
I would be grateful for any help
