Hot-Join is a splitscreen mod that works by launching new instances and automatically resizing windows.<\/p>\n

## Requirements
\n– Fabric API
\n– Concentration
\n– One of the following:
\n – Auth Me (Bring a controller mod!)
\n – Legacy4J
\n## Recommendations
\n– TwinSession
\n## Usage
\n> **Remember to auto-hide the Dock (on macOS) and the Task Bar!**<\/p>\n

### AuthMe
\nTo log into a Microsoft account: `\/hotjoin authme microsoft`
\n### Legacy4J
\nTraditional method: `\/hotjoin legacy4j`
\n**OR**
\n> **For a more reliable experience, use the SDL controller handler.**<\/p>\n

Click the Pause button on a connected controller that is not the current active controller. This will setup the controller automatically when the second instance launches.<\/p>\n

—
\nWait a few seconds (around 30 if you’re not playing with loads of mods), and the second instance should open.<\/p>\n

## Limitations
\n~~As of 0.3.0, only 2 player splitscreen is supported.~~
\nAs of 0.4.0, 4 player splitscreen is supported!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
