Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, miss out on this local multiplayer fun. You'll need a console (Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch) and a TV or monitor supporting at least 720p HD resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft allows both local and online split-screen (with limitations). Local split-screen supports up to four players on a single console – just make sure everyone has a controller! The exact steps might vary slightly depending on your console, but the general process remains consistent.

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
2. Launch Minecraft: Start a new game or load a saved world. Crucially, disable multiplayer mode in the settings.
3. Configure your game: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings.
4. Start the game: Press the start button.
5. Add players: Once the game loads, use your console's method for adding players (e.g., double-pressing the "Options" button on PS, or the "Start" button on Xbox).
6. Sign in: Each player needs to sign in to their account.
7. Enjoy! The screen will automatically split into sections for each player.

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't directly split-screen with remote players, local split-screen players can join an online multiplayer server. Follow the local split-screen steps above, but enable multiplayer mode before starting the game. Then, invite your online friends to join your server.
