How to Play Multiplayer Minecraft on Switch Split Screen
Are you a fan of Minecraft and looking to enjoy the game with friends or family on the Nintendo Switch? The good news is that you can easily play multiplayer Minecraft on the Switch using the split screen feature. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and enjoy a multiplayer Minecraft experience on your Nintendo Switch.
Step 1: Ensure You Have the Right Version of Minecraft
Before you can start playing multiplayer Minecraft on the Switch, make sure you have the right version of the game. The Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft supports split-screen multiplayer, so you will need either the “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition” or “Minecraft Dungeons: Switch Edition.” If you have the original Minecraft game, you will need to purchase the “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition” to access multiplayer features.
Step 2: Connect Multiple Controllers
To play multiplayer Minecraft on the Switch split screen, you will need to connect multiple controllers to the console. You can use any compatible controllers, such as the Joy-Con controllers, Pro Controllers, or other third-party controllers. Simply plug the controllers into the appropriate ports on the Switch console.
Step 3: Start a New Game or Join an Existing World
Once you have your controllers connected, you can start a new game or join an existing world. To start a new game, select “New Game” from the main menu. To join an existing world, select “Multiplayer” and then “Join World.”
Step 4: Set Up Split Screen
When you start a new game or join a world, you will be prompted to choose your player character. After choosing your character, you will see a screen with two options: “Single Player” and “Split Screen.” Select “Split Screen” to enable the split-screen mode.
Step 5: Choose Your Game Mode
After enabling split screen, you will be prompted to choose your game mode. You can choose from various modes, such as Survival, Creative, Adventure, and Spectator. Select the mode you prefer and press “A” to confirm your choice.
Step 6: Customize Your Characters
Once you have selected your game mode, you can customize your characters by changing their appearance, skins, and other settings. Take your time to personalize your characters before starting the game.
Step 7: Enjoy Multiplayer Minecraft on Split Screen
With everything set up, you and your friends or family can now enjoy multiplayer Minecraft on the Switch split screen. Each player will have their own screen, allowing you to explore, build, and survive together in the Minecraft world.
Remember to take turns and communicate with each other to make the most of your multiplayer experience. Happy gaming!
