Native Java is 26.2. Phone and Windows Bedrock use the IP. Consoles add Minecraft friend NLO#3114 — they are still Bedrock.
Version
Java 26.2 first
The world runs on Minecraft Java 26.2. ViaBackwards lets some older Java versions in. Bedrock on phone or Windows uses nlo.gg:19132. Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch cannot add that address — add friend NLO#3114 and join from the friend list.
