Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature; PC players are unfortunately excluded. 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 may require manual configuration within your console's settings.
