So there’s this instruction thing on the website to connect to IPv4 but they also include IPv6! I am trying to connect to the iPv6 DNS and for a reason it says that it isn’t connected!

Cloudflare Docs lists the IPv6 equivalent of 1.1.1.1.
It is not needed though, unless you need an IPv6-only network for some reason. 1.1.1.1 can resolve for IPv6.

Some local network checks maybe, like functional local IPv4 and IPv6 routing (ping6, traceroute), whether the unspecified router is actually offering IPv6 and DNS or is “merely” relaying as many do, whether ODoH is enabled or not on the clients, etc.?

IPv4 DNS can serve IPv6 DNS translations. These are AAAA records. (CloudFlare also provides DNS64 for IPv6-only networks.)
DNS is also not particularly relevant to establishing IPv6 routing.
Your local network routing, or your firewall, and/or your ISP are not enabled for or do not support IPv6 routing.
If your networking equipment or ISP cannot be enabled for IPv6, and if using an existing IPv4 route is inappropriate, you will have to use a tunnel to get IPv6 routing.
One IPv6 tunnel option: https://ipv6.he.net/
You can become globally routable with IPv6 with no IPv4 NAT box implicitly blocking unrecognized traffic, so some care around establishing and maintaining connection security is warranted.
For what device are you trying this?
Where can we read this instruction?
Should be any.
Do you presently have a routable IPv6 network connection to the candidate DNS server?
If so, which DNS server are you referencing? 2606:4700:4700::1111, 2606:4700:4700::1001, or else-wise?

It’s hard to know what that is, but what if the router has a different DNS address like 8.8.8.8 and I want to connect to 1.1.1.1 with iPV6
You’re closer to that network than anybody here.
If IPv4 DNS or ODoH is already working, use that.
1.1.1.1 is obviously not an IPv6 address, of course.

Why is my device not connecting to IPv6 DNS?
