    Minecraft:
    Wynn runs on the original version of minecraft, aka java. Consoles on the other hand run the bedrock edition of minecraft, which is a fundamentally different thing at its core. This means that content such as servers isn't interchangeable between the two, and you can't play on Wynn via a console.

    Theoretically, a compatibility layer between the two is possible via a proxy, but that's a long time away due to legal reasons, lack of documentation about bedrock's innerworkings, and the lack of voluntary contributors to the project. Even then, you'd still need to separately buy a real minecraft account to play on authenticated servers.
