Minecraft split-screen is exclusively available on consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this feature. Ensure your TV or monitor supports HD (720p) resolution, and that your console is also compatible. HDMI connection automatically adjusts resolution; VGA may require manual adjustment in your console's settings.
Local Split-Screen Multiplayer:

Up to four players can enjoy local split-screen on a single console. The process is generally similar across consoles, though specific button presses may vary.
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
- Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game settings.
- Configure your world: Set difficulty, game rules, and world parameters.
- Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional player slots. This usually involves pressing the "Options" button (PS) or "Start" button (Xbox) twice.
- Player login: Each player logs into their respective accounts.
- Enjoy! The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).

While you can't directly split-screen with remote online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the local split-screen steps, but enable multiplayer in the game settings. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
Minecraft's split-screen functionality offers a fantastic way to share the fun with friends. Enjoy the immersive experience of collaborative gameplay!
