Minecraft split-screen is exclusively available on consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC users, unfortunately, cannot utilize this feature. Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and your console is compatible. HDMI connection automatically adjusts resolution; VGA may require manual configuration 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:
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
- Launch Minecraft: Choose "New Game" or load an existing world. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game settings.
- Configure your world: Select difficulty, game mode, and other world parameters. Skip this if loading a pre-existing world.
- Start the game: Press the "Start" button (or equivalent) to begin.
- Add players: Once the game loads, use the appropriate button on your controller to add additional players (e.g., "Options" button on PS, "Start" button on Xbox). You may need to press this button twice.
- Player login: Each player logs into their respective accounts.
- Enjoy! The screen will automatically split into sections for each player.

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:
While direct split-screen with online players isn't supported, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable multiplayer in the game settings. Send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
