HereвЂ™s how to set split-screen up for online play. In other words, online play is not on a split-screen, but two or more local players get the split-screen while playing with those who are online. You can play Minecraft on a split-screen with your friends locally, while also playing with others online. XBOX 360 and PS3 use the Minecraft Legacy Console Edition, so you first press вЂњStartвЂќ on the second controller to get in the game, then it will prompt the user to log into the console. Select the account for the other player (if not done already).For example, the PS4 uses the вЂњPSвЂќ button to activate a user and the вЂњOptionsвЂќ button (pressed twice) to add the second player to Minecraft.

Use a different controller to activate the second player on the console, then select the correct button(s) to add them to Minecraft.

Choose вЂњCreateвЂќ or вЂњPlayвЂќ to launch the game.

Set the difficulty and other game options to your liking.

In the вЂњMultiplayerвЂќ settings, slide вЂњMultiplayer GameвЂќ to the off position.

Select вЂњCreate NewвЂќ if you want to start fresh, or load a previous world from the game list.

Connect the console to the TV with an HDMI or component cable, then launch Minecraft.
