First, it's crucial to note that Minecraft’s split-screen feature is exclusive to consoles. If you're gaming on an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, you're in luck. Unfortunately, PC players won’t be able to enjoy this feature. Also, ensure your setup meets the system requirements; your TV or screen should support HD (720p) resolution. Your console must also be compatible with this format. When connecting via HDMI, the resolution should set automatically. If using VGA, you might need to manually adjust the settings on your Xbox or PlayStation.

Minecraft offers versatile ways to enjoy split-screen gaming, whether you're playing locally or aiming to join an online server with more players.

How to Play Minecraft from One Console?

For local split-screen gaming, up to four players can join in on the fun from a single console. The setup might vary slightly between consoles, but here's a general guide to get you started:

Begin by connecting your console to the screen using an HDMI cable, which usually comes with modern consoles. Once connected, launch Minecraft and decide whether to start a new game or continue an existing session. Make sure to disable multiplayer in the settings.

Set your desired difficulty and tweak any additional settings or world parameters. If you're resuming a saved game, you can skip this step.

Hit start and let the game load. Once you're in the game, it's time to bring in your friends. The button to activate additional players varies by console; for PlayStation, it's the "Options" button (press twice), and for Xbox, it's usually the Start button.

How to Split Screen Minecraft Online?

Unfortunately, you can't split the screen with online players. However, if you're gathered around a single TV, you can still invite additional friends to join remotely.

The process is similar to local split-screen: log into your account, start a game, and this time, enable multiplayer. Send invitations to your remote friends, and you're set to play together!
