- Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded from this local multiplayer experience.
- 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.

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay from a single console. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HD-capable display.
- Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select either a new game or an existing world. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
- Configure your world: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and other world parameters. Skip this step if using a pre-existing world.
- Activate additional players: Once the game loads, press the button to add players (typically "Options" on PlayStation or "Start" on Xbox). You may need to press this button twice.
- Player login: Each additional player logs into their respective accounts. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).
- Enjoy the game!

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:
While direct split-screen with online players isn't supported, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the same steps as above, but enable the multiplayer option in the game settings after launching Minecraft. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
