Experience the nostalgic joy of couch co-op gaming with Minecraft! This guide details how to set up split-screen multiplayer on your Xbox One or other compatible console. Gather your friends, snacks, and drinks – let's get started!

Important Considerations:

• Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC users are unfortunately excluded.
• HD Resolution: Ensure your TV or monitor supports at least 720p HD resolution for optimal split-screen performance. Your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution adjustment; VGA may require manual configuration within your console's settings.

1. Connect & Launch: Connect your console to your HD-capable display using an HDMI cable. Launch Minecraft.
2. Singleplayer Setup: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
3. World Settings: Choose your difficulty, game mode, and world settings as desired.
4. Activate Players: Once the game loads, activate additional player slots. The specific button varies by console (e.g., "Options" on PS, "Start" on Xbox). You may need to press this button twice.
5. Login & Play: Each player logs into their respective account and joins 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.

1. Enable Multiplayer: Follow steps 1-3 above, but this time, enable the multiplayer option in the game settings.
2. Invite Friends: Send invitations to your online friends to join your game.
