Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players are unfortunately out of luck. You'll need an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch.

Your setup needs to meet certain requirements. A 720p (HD) compatible TV or monitor is essential, as is a console that supports this resolution. HDMI connection automatically adjusts resolution; VGA may require manual adjustment in your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft supports local split-screen for up to four players. Here's how:

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.

While you can't split-screen with online players directly, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable multiplayer in the settings before starting the game. Then, send invites to your online friends.

Minecraft's split-screen functionality makes for fantastic cooperative gameplay. Gather your friends and experience the joy of building and adventuring together!
