Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, miss out on this local multiplayer fun. Ensure your TV or monitor supports HD (720p) resolution, and that your console is also capable of outputting this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console's settings.

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay on a single console. The process is similar across consoles, though specific button presses may vary.

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
2. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable multiplayer mode in the settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, settings, and world parameters as desired.
4. Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional player slots. This typically involves pressing a specific button (e.g., "Options" on PS, "Start" on Xbox) twice.
5. Sign in and play: Each 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 online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer.

1. Follow steps 1-3 above, but enable multiplayer mode this time.
2. Invite online friends: Send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
