Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players are unfortunately out of luck. You'll need a TV or monitor supporting at least 720p HD resolution, and your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connection will usually auto-adjust; VGA connections may require manual resolution adjustment in your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Up to four players can enjoy local split-screen on a single console. The process is similar across consoles, but button specifics might 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 in the game settings.
3. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, game modes, and world options.
4. Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional player slots. This usually involves pressing the "Options" button (PS) or "Start" button (Xbox) twice.
5. Log 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 in the game settings.
2. Invite your online friends to your game.
