- Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this local multiplayer experience.
- System Requirements: Ensure your TV or monitor supports HD (720p) resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console's settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay on a single console. Here's how:
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your TV for optimal performance.
- Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and choose to create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game's settings.
- Configure your world: Select your desired difficulty, game mode, and world settings. If loading a pre-existing world, skip this step.
- Activate additional players: Once the game loads, press the appropriate button to add players. This is typically the "Options" button (PS) or the "Start" button (Xbox), often requiring a double-press.
- Player Login: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts to join the game. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).
- Enjoy the game!

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you cannot directly split-screen with online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, send invitations to your remote friends to join your session.
Minecraft's split-screen feature makes for an incredibly fun and engaging shared experience. Gather your friends and enjoy the adventure!
