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.

Local Split-Screen Multiplayer (Up to 4 Players):

  1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal performance.

  2. Launch Minecraft: Choose a new game or load a saved world. Crucially, disable multiplayer mode in the game settings.

  3. Configure the world: Select difficulty, game rules, and world generation options (skip this if loading a pre-existing world).

  4. Start the game: Once loaded, press the appropriate button to add players. (This is typically the "Options" button on PlayStation or the "Start" button on Xbox; consult your console's instructions if needed).

  1. Player login: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts to join the game. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't directly split-screen with remote online players, you can combine local split-screen with online players.

  1. Follow steps 1-3 above. This time, enable multiplayer mode in the game settings.

  2. Start the game and invite your online friends.
