Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, miss out on this local multiplayer fun. Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution, and that your console is capable of outputting this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration in your console's settings.

Minecraft supports up to four players on a single console. Here's the general process:
- Connect your console to your TV: Use an HDMI cable for optimal performance.
- Launch Minecraft: Choose to create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game settings.
- Configure your world: Select difficulty, game rules, and world generation options.
- Start the game: Once loaded, you'll add additional players.
- Add players: Press the appropriate button (e.g., "Options" on PS, "Start" on Xbox) twice to activate an additional player slot.
- Log in: Each player logs into their account to join the game.
- Enjoy! The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).
