• 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 capable of outputting this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

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

1. Connect Your Console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your display.

2. Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select either a new world or an existing save. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.

3. World Creation/Selection: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings (or skip this step if loading a pre-existing world).

4. Activate Additional Players: Once the game loads, press the appropriate button to add players. This is typically the "Options" button (PS) or the "Start" button (Xbox), often requiring a double-press.

5. Player Login: Each additional player logs into their account to join the game. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't directly split-screen with remote online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your session.
