Solution

By looking at the IP given we realized it was a Minecraft challenge.

We1c0me t0 De1Ta He4dl3ss M1neCrAft Te2t SeRv3r Minecraft 20.20 is developed by De1ta Team based on 1.12 Headless Client isn’t necessary.

Looking up at the Minecraft Server Status it showed a different version from the 1.12 reported on the website:

MOTD De1Ta He4dl3ss M1neCrAft Te2t SeRv3r Players 0 / 2147483648 Version MC2020

And looking at the debug info:

IP address: 222.85.25.41 Port: 25565 > Protocol version: 997 Cached result No SRV record No Ping Yes Query No

As the website stated a Client was not necessary. Even if the server was displayed in the Minecraft client:

It could not connect to it.

Indeed the version protocol use by Minecraft 1.12 is the 335 and the one used in this Minecraft server is the 997, not found anywhere in the protocol number wiki.

We didn’t use a minecraft client to connect to the server but instead modified and used a LightWeight console for minecraft chat.

Changing the protocol version with 997 in this file at row 831 this client could easily be connected with the server.
