Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players are unfortunately out of luck. You'll need a TV or monitor supporting at least 720p HD resolution, and your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration in your console's settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft allows for both local and online split-screen (with limitations). Up to four players can enjoy local split-screen from a single console – just make sure everyone has a controller!
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal performance.
- Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load a saved one. Crucially, disable multiplayer mode in the settings.
- Configure your world: Choose difficulty, game modes, and other settings as desired.
- Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional player slots. The exact button varies by console (e.g., "Options" on PS, "Start" on Xbox). Press this button twice.
- Log in and join: Each player logs into their account to join the game. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).
- Enjoy!

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 steps for local split-screen, but this time enable multiplayer mode before starting the game. Then, invite your online friends to join your session.
Minecraft's split-screen functionality makes for an amazing shared gaming experience. Gather your friends and dive into the blocky world together!
