• Console-Only Feature: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this local multiplayer option.
• System Requirements: Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console settings.

Setting Up Local Split-Screen:

Local split-screen allows up to four players on a single console. Here's a general guide (specific button prompts may vary slightly by console):

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal resolution.
2. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, game mode, and world settings.
4. Start the game: Press the start button and wait for the game to load.
5. Add players: Once loaded, press the appropriate button to add players (e.g., "Options" button twice on PS, Start button on Xbox).
6. Player login: Each player logs into their respective account.
7. Enjoy! The screen will automatically split into sections for each player.

While you can't directly split-screen with online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the local split-screen setup, but enable the multiplayer option in the game settings. Then, send invitations to your remote friends to join your game.

Minecraft's split-screen feature enhances the cooperative experience. Gather your friends, grab some snacks, and enjoy the fun!
