Minecraft split-screen is exclusively available on consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch), not PC. 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; VGA may require manual resolution adjustment within your console settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay (Up to 4 Players):

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HD-capable display.

2. Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and choose to create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.

3. Configure your world: Select your desired difficulty, game mode, and world settings. Skip this step if loading a pre-existing world.

4. Start the game: Press the "Start" button (or equivalent) to begin the game.

5. Add players: Once the game loads, use the appropriate button (e.g., "Options" on PS, "Start" on Xbox) twice to activate additional player slots. Each player will then need to sign in to their account.

6. Enjoy the split-screen! The screen will automatically divide 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 in the game settings before starting. Then, invite your online friends to join your game.

Minecraft's split-screen functionality makes cooperative play incredibly accessible and fun. Enjoy the adventure with your friends!
