Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players are unfortunately out of luck. Ensure your TV or monitor supports HD (720p) resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection automatically sets the resolution; VGA may require manual adjustment in your console settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Up to four players can enjoy local split-screen on a single console. Here's how:

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
2. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, settings, and world parameters.
4. Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional player slots. This is usually done by pressing the "Options" button twice (PS) or the "Start" button (Xbox) – consult your console's instructions if needed.
5. Log in and play: Each player logs into their account to join the game. The screen will automatically split.

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 settings before starting. Then, send invites to your online friends!
