Minecraft split-screen is exclusively available on consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC users won't find this feature. Ensure your TV or monitor supports HD (720p) resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection automatically adjusts resolution; VGA may require manual adjustment in your console's settings.

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

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
2. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load a saved game. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, game mode, and world settings.
4. Start the game: Press the start button.
5. Add players: Once in the game, press the button to add players (typically "Options" on PlayStation or "Start" on Xbox). Press it twice to access this function.
6. Player login: Each player logs into their respective account.
7. Enjoy split-screen: The screen will automatically divide into sections (2-4 players).

While you can't directly split-screen with online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow steps 1-5 above, but enable the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, invite your online friends to join your session.

Minecraft's split-screen functionality enhances the cooperative experience. Enjoy the game with friends!
