Sadly the person who told you a USB-C hub was mistaken, the 2014 Mac Mini’s don’t support USB-C via USB-A as USB-A doesn’t offer video output.

Sadly the person who told you a USB-C hub was mistaken, the 2014 Mac Mini’s doesn’t support USB-C via USB-A as USB-A doesn’t offer video output.
This series uses either an older Thunderbolt or mDP connected display. The mDP to HDMI adapter you where using is the only other alternative.
If you had a newer USB-C or Thunderbolt-3 based Mac (2020 M Series based Mac Mini) you could then use a USB-C cable directly to the USB-C display or into a USB-C hub which offers a USB-C to HDMI adapter function.
***Let’s see if we can get you going correctly here*** - Have you tried a different mDP to HDMI adapter or a second display?
