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 magic with Minecraft splitscreen on Xbox One and other consoles. Gather your friends, grab some snacks, and let's get started!
Important Details:
Minecraft splitscreen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, are out of luck. You'll need a console (Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch) and an HD (720p) compatible TV or monitor. HDMI is recommended for automatic resolution settings; VGA may require manual adjustment within your console's settings.

Local Splitscreen Gameplay:
Minecraft offers both local (from one console) and online splitscreen options. Local splitscreen supports up to four players – just make sure everyone's ready for some friendly competition (or cooperation!). The exact button combinations may vary slightly across consoles, but the general process remains consistent.
- Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
- Launch Minecraft: Start a new game or load an existing save. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the game's settings.
- Configure your world: Choose difficulty, game modes, and world settings. If using a pre-existing world, skip this step.
- Activate additional players: Once the game loads, press the appropriate button to add players. This is typically the "Options" button (PS) or "Start" button (Xbox). You may need to press it twice.
- Log in and join: Each player logs into their account and joins the game. The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Splitscreen:
While you can't directly splitscreen with online players, you can combine local splitscreen with online multiplayer. Follow the same initial steps as above, but enable the multiplayer option before starting the game. Then, send invites to your remote friends to join your session.

Enjoy the best of both worlds – the intimate fun of splitscreen with the expanded possibilities of online multiplayer! Minecraft's cooperative gameplay shines brightest when shared with friends.
