# Splitscreen Support<\/p>\n
Simple mod that makes it easier to position windows for local multiplayer.<\/p>\n
With this mod installed, hitting the ‘Toggle Fullscreen’ button (F11) will cycle you through different half- and quarter-size
\nwindow positions for split screen play. It then saves your choice and brings the window up in the same place when you
\nrestart the game. <\/p>\n
This makes it easier for you to start two or more copies of Minecraft and have the windows be positioned automatically
\nfor splitscreen.<\/p>\n
This mod is designed to be used in conjunction with a Minecraft launcher (such as PrismLauncher) and
\na gamepad mod (such Midnight Controls)<\/p>\n
## Usage Video<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Suggested Setup <\/p>\n
### Stuff you need
\n* Two or more legal minecraft accounts
\n* PrismLauncher
\n* Midnight Controls
\n* Splitscreen Support
\n* Two or more gamepads
\n* One or more friends
\n* One big TV hooked up to your computer
\n* One couch<\/p>\n
### What to do
\n* Create two or more minecraft instances in PrismLauncher, one for each account
\n* In each instance, install SplitScreen Support and MidnightControls
\n* Launch the instances and configure _each_ of them as follows:
\n * **SplitScreen Support**: Press `F11` to position the windows
\n * **MidnightControls**: Enable `Unfocused Input` and `Virtual Mouse` as described here
\n * **Minecraft**: Press `F3+P` to disable _Pause on Lost Focus_
\n* Get a gamepad for each instance and configure MidnightControls
\n* In one of the instances, create a new world and ‘Open to LAN’
\n* Connect the other instances to that one (e.g., localhost:25565)
\n* Get your friends and have a Minecraft party!<\/p>\n
## Other mod features
\n* Username is displayed in the upper-left corner of the main menu (so you can tell who’s who)<\/p>\n
## Adjusting the gap between windows
\nBy default, the mod puts a small gap between windows. You can change the width of this gap
\n(or make it `0`) by setting the value of the `gap` property in `config\/splitscreen.properties`.
\n(This file doesn’t exist until you quit minecraft for the first time with the mod running).<\/p>\n
