  • Console Exclusivity: Split-screen functionality is limited to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this local multiplayer experience.
  • System Requirements: Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution settings; VGA connections might require manual resolution adjustment within your console settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay on a single console. Here's a general walkthrough:

  1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal resolution.
  2. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
  3. Configure your world: Select difficulty, game mode, and other world parameters.
  4. Start the game: Press the "Start" button (or equivalent) to begin.
  5. Add players: Once the game loads, activate additional player slots. This typically involves pressing the "Options" button (PlayStation) or "Start" button (Xbox) twice.
  6. Player login: Each player logs into their respective accounts to join the game.
  7. Split-screen magic: The screen will automatically divide into sections (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't directly split-screen with online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the local split-screen steps above, but enable the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, invite your online friends to join your session.
