I've been looking forward to being able to play minecraft multiplayer locally and with my best friends, but as soon as I start it up I'm greeted with the inability to do so. I'm wondering if even local multiplayer requires Xbox live gold? I've also seen that splitscreen requires an HD tv, but my tv is Hd, but do I also need an actual HDMI cord? any help is appreciated.
okay, I just have the yellow white and red cables (composite is it?) but would the problem just present itself as it just won't someone else join instead of like an error message?
okay, just went to my console settings and to display and it said my t.v. was a "normal" t.v. not sure if that's just because of the composite cables, but the actual t.v. has a little sticker that actually says it's HD. but oh well, I'll see if I can solve it.
To use splitscreen, you must have either HDMI cables or a composite cable like the one pictured above in LukeIn3D's post. With a composite cable, you must plug in the Red, Blue, and Green on the video side and Red and White on the audio side. Then make sure the switch on the cable itself is set to HDTV. Once that is done, your console should automatically be set to either 720 or 1080 depending on your TV.
Splitscreen should now actually function. To play splitscreen, at least one person on the Xbox must have a Gold account. that person must be playing in order for others to join splitscreen on the console.
