• Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this local multiplayer experience.
• 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 settings; VGA may require manual adjustment in your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

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

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal resolution.
2. Launch Minecraft: Start a new game or load an existing world. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
3. Configure your world: Select difficulty, settings, and world parameters (unless loading a pre-existing world).
4. Activate additional players: Once the game loads, press the appropriate button to add players. (This varies by console; it's often the "Options" button on PlayStation or the "Start" button on Xbox. You may need to press it twice).
5. Player login: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts.
6. Enjoy the split-screen action: The screen will automatically divide into sections (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 multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable the multiplayer option in the game settings before starting. Then, send invitations to your remote friends to join your game.

Minecraft's split-screen feature makes for an incredibly fun and engaging cooperative experience. Gather your friends and enjoy the adventure!
