Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, miss out on this local multiplayer experience. Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and that your console is capable of outputting this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA connections might require manual configuration within your console's settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft supports local split-screen for up to four players on a single console. Here's how:
-
Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HD-ready display.
-
Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select either a new game or an existing world. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game's settings.
-
Configure your world: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings. If using an existing world, skip this step.
-
Start the game: Press the start button and let the game load.
-
Add players: Once loaded, add additional players. The specific button varies by console; on PS it's usually the "Options" button (pressed twice), and on Xbox it's typically the "Start" button.
-
Player login: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts. The screen will automatically split 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 same steps as above, but enable multiplayer in the game settings. After launching the game, send invitations to your online friends to join your local split-screen session.
Enjoy the immersive cooperative experience of Minecraft with your friends!
