Simple arithmetic in Minecraft: dividing the screen into parts
Experience the nostalgic fun of couch co-op gaming with Minecraft! This guide shows you how to set up split-screen play on your Xbox One or other compatible console, bringing friends together for shared adventures. Forget online lag; this is pure, unadulterated local multiplayer.
Important Considerations:

- Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players will need to find alternative multiplayer solutions.
- HD Resolution: Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution for optimal split-screen viewing. Your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console settings.
Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Up to four players can enjoy simultaneous gameplay on a single console. Here's how:
- Connect Console: Connect your console to your HD-capable TV using an HDMI cable.
- Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and choose to create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
- Configure World: Select your desired difficulty, game mode, and world settings. Skip this step if loading a pre-existing world.
- Activate Additional Players: Once the game loads, press the button to add players. This is typically the "Options" button (PS) or the "Start" button (Xbox), often requiring a double-press.
- Log In & Play: Each additional player will need to log into their respective accounts 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 players. Follow the same steps as above, but enable the multiplayer option in the game settings before starting. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
