About this project

What does Splitscreen Support add?

Splitscreen Support

Simple mod that makes it easier to position windows for local multiplayer.

With this mod installed, hitting the 'Toggle Fullscreen' button (F11) will cycle you through different half- and quarter-size
window positions for split screen play. It then saves your choice and brings the window up in the same place when you
restart the game.

This makes it easier for you to start two or more copies of Minecraft and have the windows be positioned automatically
for splitscreen.

This mod is designed to be used in conjunction with a Minecraft launcher (such as PrismLauncher) and
a gamepad mod (such Midnight Controls)

Suggested Setup

Stuff you need

What to do

  • Create two or more minecraft instances in PrismLauncher, one for each account
  • In each instance, install SplitScreen Support and MidnightControls
  • Launch the instances and configure each of them as follows:
    • SplitScreen Support: Press F11 to position the windows
    • MidnightControls: Enable Unfocused Input and Virtual Mouse as described here
    • Minecraft: Press F3+P to disable Pause on Lost Focus
  • Get a gamepad for each instance and configure MidnightControls
  • In one of the instances, create a new world and 'Open to LAN'
  • Connect the other instances to that one (e.g., localhost:25565)
  • Get your friends and have a Minecraft party!

Other mod features

  • Username is displayed in the upper-left corner of the main menu (so you can tell who's who)

Adjusting the gap between windows

By default, the mod puts a small gap between windows. You can change the width of this gap
(or make it 0) by setting the value of the gap property in config/splitscreen.properties.
(This file doesn't exist until you quit minecraft for the first time with the mod running).
