Undoubtedly, the games that we have at hand are of a wide spectrum, compared to previous years, now there are many more options of types of games such as gameplay, but some that are now a trend did not leave behind some gameplay options that they come from previous ideas and games that helped us enjoy various features and entertainment.
In the Minecraft game it is a game in which it is allowed, if you have the correct devices and meet some characteristics, to divide the screen in two to be able to play with a single console with two PCs, if it were in a local area connection we are talking about several network consoles.
Here you will see some conditions that must be taken into account so that you can make use of this form of split screen and we will also tell you why sometimes it is not possible to achieve split screen
What are the requirements to play Minecraft split screen?
First we are going to see what are the requirements to be able to split the screen in Minecraft, there are some restrictions that if so, this screen division cannot be done. Here we will explain what the minimum requirements are for this configuration to take effect.
The first thing we should know is that Minecraft allows you to split the screen only on Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation. What it means is that if you try to split the screen of the PC it cannot be done, since the execution processes are very different, another thing is that you must have a screen that supports at least 720p if it is better. This should connect the console with the screen using an HDMI or RGB cable.
What steps should you take to split the screen in your Minecraft game?
Once you get or buy Minecraft, the first thing to do is synchronize the console with its screen regarding the resolution, otherwise the screen will not be divided. To synchronize the two parts, both output and input, you must do the following
You must first configure your screen and make sure it is in a resolution that is 720p or higher. Let’s say it’s 720p now we have to go to the console and set it to this same resolution. This is achieved in the following way. To configure the output of your console you must go to configuration> System> Console configuration> display. Now we select 720p and in this way they will be synchronized in the resolution
From your game installed on your computer
Now we must know that this procedure is not available to achieve it from our PC, this may be because it is very complex and is designed only for consoles that are specialized only in processing the game and all its functions.
So we already know that it is not possible to split the screen from a computer to be able to play Minecraft with two accounts at the same time, thinking that the data processing for two accounts working would be very extensive for a single PC. It will also not matter much if you decide to clean and speed up your PC even more, since in this case it will not improve its performance much.
Directly from your console
Now to split the screen from our console, for this we must start in Minecraft and then go to Playgame> Create new world> in the next window remove the online game option then press the start button of the controller on your console, now we select the account of the other player and when you log in you will join automatically this can be done with up to three other people.
Why can’t you split your Minecraft game screen effectively?
This will surely happen to you because some of the requirements or configurations necessary to do it are not correct, now, it is worth making sure that the cables involved in transferring the data of the game images are correct. Synchronization is essential in these cases because it will not be able to be achieved in any way if the video output of the console is not in sync with the resolution of the screen that you are using to play.
