Minecraft Made Simple: Screen Division Demystified

Jan 12,2025 Author: Victoria

Relive the classic couch co-op experience with Minecraft! Back in the day, before ubiquitous voice chat, gaming meant gathering around one console. This guide shows you how to recreate that fun with Minecraft split-screen on Xbox One and other consoles. Grab your friends, snacks, and drinks – let's get started!

Important Considerations:

Minecraft split-screen is a console-only feature. PC players, unfortunately, miss out. However, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch owners can enjoy this classic gaming setup.

You'll need an HD (720p) compatible TV or monitor, and your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connections usually auto-adjust; VGA may require manual resolution settings within your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft offers both local (from one console) and online split-screen options. Local split-screen supports up to four players – just make sure everyone gets a fair turn with the controller!

  1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal performance.

  1. Launch Minecraft: Create a new world or load an existing one. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the settings.

  1. Configure your world: Choose difficulty, settings, and world parameters. Skip this if loading a pre-existing world.

  1. Start the game: Once loaded, activate additional players. This typically involves pressing a specific button (e.g., "Options" twice on PS, or "Start" on Xbox) twice.

  1. Player login: Each player logs into their account to join the game. The screen will automatically split (up to four players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't split-screen with remote online players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps above, but enable multiplayer in the settings before starting the game. Then, send invitations to your online friends!

Minecraft's split-screen functionality makes it a fantastic co-op experience. Gather your friends and enjoy the adventure!
