Let's clear up a few things first: the Minecraft split-screen feature is exclusive to consoles. Unfortunately, PC players are out of luck here, but if you're rocking an Xbox, PS, or Nintendo Switch, you're in for a treat. Also, keep in mind the system requirements. To make the most of the split-screen function, you'll need a TV or screen that supports HD (720p). Your console should also support this resolution. When connecting your console to the screen via HDMI, the resolution will set automatically. If you're using VGA, you might need to tweak the settings on your Xbox or PlayStation manually.

The beauty of Minecraft is that it offers multiple ways to enjoy split-screen gaming. You can either go local, directly from your console, or dive into online play on a server with more players.
How to Play Minecraft from One Console?
For local split-screen action, up to four players can join the fun on a single device—just make sure no one gets too competitive over the gamepad! The setup might vary slightly depending on your console, but here's a general guide to get you started.

First things first, connect your console to the screen using an HDMI cable (which comes with most modern devices). Once that's sorted, launch Minecraft and decide whether you want to start a new game or continue an existing session. Make sure to disable the multiplayer function in the settings.

Next, set the difficulty, tweak additional settings, and choose your world parameters. If you're resuming a saved world, you can skip this step.

As soon as the game starts, activate the other players. The button to do this might differ by console. On a PS gamepad, it's the "Options" button, which you need to press twice. Xbox users typically use the Start button.

Log into your account, and join the game. Once everyone is connected, the screen will automatically split into sections (from two to four).

How to Split Screen Minecraft Online?
Just to clarify, you can't split the screen with another online player. This feature is strictly for playing from one console. However, if you're gathered around a single TV with friends, you can still invite more "remote" buddies to join in.
The process is similar to local play—you'll need to log into your account, start a game, but this time, enable multiplayer. Then, simply send out invitations to your remote friends, and you're good to go!
