Simple arithmetic in Minecraft: dividing the screen into parts

Author : Gabriel Jan 06,2025

Experience the nostalgic fun of couch co-op gaming with Minecraft! This guide shows you how to enjoy split-screen Minecraft on your Xbox One or other compatible console. Gather your friends, prepare the snacks, and let's get started!

Important Considerations:

Console Only: Split-screen functionality is exclusive to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch). PC players are unfortunately excluded.
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 4 Players):

Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable to connect your console to your HD display.
Launch Minecraft: Start Minecraft and select either a new game or an existing world. Crucially, disable multiplayer in the game settings.
Configure your world: Choose your difficulty, world type, and other settings. Skip this step if using a pre-existing world.
Add players: Once the game loads, press the button to add players (usually the "Options" button on PlayStation or the "Start" button on Xbox). You'll need to press it twice.
Sign in: Each player needs to log into their respective accounts to join the game.
Enjoy the split-screen! The screen will automatically divide 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 multiplayer. Follow steps 1-3 from the local split-screen instructions, but this time enable multiplayer. Then, send invitations to your online friends to join your game.

Minecraft's split-screen mode makes cooperative play incredibly fun. Gather your friends, and get ready for an unforgettable gaming experience!
