## Overview
\nThis modpack is designed for easy split-screen multiplayer. It focuses on the **Create** mod and its add-ons. This pack also includes various structure mods to encourage exploration.<\/p>\n
The pack is playable with up to 4 players using controllers on a single (preferably large) screen. Optionally, one player can use the keyboard\/mouse. For controller players, the mouse\/keyboard can be swapped to focus on another window if a mod requires them.<\/p>\n
## Performance
\nBecause of the way Minecraft handles running the server (Host World) and client (Other Players), this pack runs much faster (TPS\/CPU) than 4 separate instances. It does, however, still take additional power from the GPU (FPS) to render 4 clients. __Because of this, it is recommended to lower the resolution of the game since each window is reduced to a quarter of the original size.__<\/p>\n
## How to use<\/p>\n Use the **PrisimMC** (or **MultiMC**) launcher to import this pack from **Modrinth**. **PrisimMC** allows you to create separate instances (or multiple running copies) of Minecraft. You will need to download this pack for each instance that will be running.<\/p>\n To play on an external server, either the server must disable online mode or each player must use a different Minecraft account. You can also install the **E4MC** mod, which makes LAN worlds joinable by anyone like a server.<\/p>\n For local play, host a LAN server on the main instance of the pack. All of the other instances will need to join that local server.<\/p>\n If you only have one account to use, you will need to use the **AuthMe** mod to enable **Offline Mode** for **both** online and local multiplayer. Click on the lock icon in the **Multiplayer** menu to enter **Offline** mode. If you enter the name of a Minecraft Account, their skin will be used.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n To put the windows into **Split Screen**, press **F11**. This cycles between different positions and sizes for each instance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may need to hide the taskbar to see the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n To prevent the escape menu from automatically appearing, press **F3+P** to disable Instead of using the shortcut, you can run each instance once to generate the **options.txt** file. Open the modpack folder and edit **options.txt**. Change the value of **pauseOnLostFocus** from **true** to **false**. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n On the Minecraft menu, click **Options -> Controls ->** and the **Controller Icon** to enter the **Midnight Controls** menu. <\/p>\n If that instance will be using a keyboard\/mouse, turn off **Auto Switch Mode**.<\/p>\n If that instance will be using a controller, turn on **Virtual Mouse**. Then, open **Controller Options** on the sidebar to enable unfocused input. <\/p>\n If you only plan on playing with 1 controller, you can skip this step. We need to assign a controller to each instance of Minecraft. Switch the selected controller at the top of **Controller Options** to the controller for that instance. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more controller options (such as mappings), you will need to download GamepadTool. Copy your mapping code and paste it into the **Mappings File Editor** inside **Moonlight Controls** Midnight Controls Website mkordik1(Youtube) A 4 player split-screen multiplayer pack for the Create Mod.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50133,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"create-split-screen","_minecraft_project_id":"wvbVJ8lL","_minecraft_author":"Chanied","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":1837,"_minecraft_follows":4,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"create-split-screen.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":626169,"_minecraft_version_count":4,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-17T01:19:14.249372Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-03-18T19:42:57.244591Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-08-04T11:16:42.353563Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/create-split-screen","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":50133,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T15:40:40+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"05e56d26e4a61a6062ffed8d4cd1e0de","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,97,157,105,90,123],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[36],"class_list":["post-50132","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-lightweight","mod_category-multiplayer","mod_category-optimization","mod_category-technology","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-20-1"],"yoast_head":"\nPlaying Together<\/summary>\n
