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 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 may require manual resolution configuration within your console's settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft supports local split-screen for up to four players. Here's a general guide; specific button prompts may vary slightly depending on your console:
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HDTV.
- Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select "New Game" or load an existing world. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
- Configure the world: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings (unless loading a pre-existing world).
- Start the game: Press the "Start" button to begin the game.
- Add players: Once the game loads, use the appropriate button to add additional players. This is typically the "Options" button (PlayStation) or the "Start" button (Xbox). You may need to press it twice.
- Player login: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts.
- Enjoy the split-screen! The screen will automatically divide into sections (2-4 players).

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 the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your session.
Minecraft's split-screen functionality offers a fantastic way to enjoy the game with friends. Embrace the classic couch co-op experience and create lasting memories!
