I’ve changed the minecraft server’s port to a different one and created an SRV and A record for it, but the minecraft server still works when I go to “domain.com” and I only want it to work when I go on “mc.domain.com” or “domain.com:0000”.

You’ll first need to edit the configuration file of your Minecraft Server and set the port to be 0000, I think by default it’s something like 25026.
As soon as you’ve done that, you’ll need to restart your Minecraft server. To test everything is actually working type in
netstat -tulpen | grep 0000
If you see the instance running then everything is okay. Now you’ll need to edit your firewall configuration.
If you are using UFW, you can enable the port by executing the following command
sudo ufw allow 0000/tcp
To actually check if it’s enabled or not, type in
sudo ufw status numbered
