Can't connect to MC server running in a VM in Proxmox - probably port-forwarding issue

Hello,

for clarification - I'm very much a newcomer to Proxmox and I'm still learning how to use it. I'd say I have basic Linux knowledge as well, but I still like getting my hands dirty and try to learn new things.

My issue is the following - I have a CLI Ubuntu Server running in a VM on my machine, and I installed AMP, which is a game server manager. My plan is to use that VM to install and manage a couple game servers for me and my friends to use, mainly a good ol' Minecraft server. The issue I'm running into is trying to connect to it on another machine on my local network. I've PF'd the VM's IP and port of the MC server on my router, which didn't work. I then added PF rules for that VM in Proxmox, which didn't work either. I also then PF'd Proxmox on my router with the port of the Minecraft server (so the IP of the WEBGUI with the Minecraft port - I did it just to find out if that would fix it but it clearly didn't).
I tried connecting to the server with a local and external IP, none of which yielded successful results.

On a separate note, AMP allows external access to its own WEBGUI using a custom domain and by installing a Let's Encrypt HTTPS cert (which I did), which I also own and wanted to give my friends access to that WEBGUI. I can't access that WEBGUI with my custom domain. I figured both of these issues have something to do with having to additionally configure some things in Proxmox, so I'd really like to get some headers on how to resolve this.
