- Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded.
- System Requirements: Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and that your console is compatible. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

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 in the game settings before starting. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
Minecraft's split-screen feature makes for an incredibly fun and engaging shared experience. Gather your friends and create unforgettable memories together!
