Minecraft split-screen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players, unfortunately, can't participate in this local multiplayer fun. You'll need a console (Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch) and an HD (720p) compatible TV or monitor. Ensure your console also supports this resolution. HDMI connection is recommended for automatic resolution settings; VGA may require manual adjustment within your console's settings.

Local Split-Screen Gameplay:

Minecraft allows for local split-screen with up to four players on a single console. Here's a general guide (specific button presses may vary slightly depending on your console):

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.
2. Launch Minecraft: Start a new game or continue an existing one. Crucially, disable the multiplayer option in the settings.
3. Configure your game: Choose difficulty, world settings, etc. Skip this step if using an existing world.
4. 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), often requiring a double-press.
5. Player login: Each player logs into their account to join the game.
6. Split-screen activation: The screen will automatically split into sections (2-4 players).

Online Multiplayer with Local Split-Screen:

While you can't directly split-screen with remote players, you can combine local split-screen with online multiplayer. Follow the steps for local split-screen, but enable the multiplayer option before starting your game. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your session.
