What Minecraft version does Herocraft run?
Herocraft reports Velocity 1.7.2-26.2, which means it accepts clients from 1.7 through 1.26. A server with that kind of range is normally running a proxy that translates between versions.
Can Java and Bedrock players both join Herocraft?
Yes. Herocraft answered us on the Bedrock protocol as well as Java, so the same address works from a phone, a console and a PC. Bedrock players still need to enter the port separately.
