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

Local Split-Screen Multiplayer:

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay on a single console. Here's the process:

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HDTV.
2. Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select "Create New World" or load an existing save. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game's settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings.
4. Start the game: Press the start button to begin the game.
5. Add players: Once in-game, use the appropriate button (e.g., "Options" on PlayStation, "Start" on Xbox) to add additional players. You may need to press this button twice.
6. Player login: Each player will need to log into their respective Minecraft accounts.
7. Enjoy the split-screen: The screen will automatically divide into sections for each player (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

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

1. Follow steps 1-3 from the local split-screen instructions. However, this time, enable multiplayer in the game's settings.
2. Start the game and invite your online friends.
3. Local players join as described above.

Minecraft's split-screen feature is a fantastic way to enhance the cooperative experience. Enjoy building, exploring, and adventuring with your friends!
