When you are split screen with 2 players on consoles (Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch) the item that you're holding is too big comparing the the normal size. The size of the item is the same as no split screen but it is on split screen so the item looks huge.
Also off-hand items don't appear on screen at all in vertical splitscreen.

Items appear large on screen and take up most of the screen in horizontal split-screen.

This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).

Doesn't this have to do with the aspect ration of your screen when in split screen mode?

This really needs to be fixed soon. Because a lot of xbox one edition players will be reluctantly switching to bedrock on xbox one.


I can confirm that this bug it still a thing in 1.12.0.12 beta

Issue is still present in 1.12.0 and 1.13.0.5 beta.

Come on devs, this issue is present in MCBE since 2017, this should have already been fixed by now...
@Mega_Spud said that you were trying to fix it but it doesn´t seem like it because its been 2 years already...

Nintendo Switch also has this issue.

This bug is also on ps4 bedrock.

Can confirm for Xbox One. You can barely see anything from the size of the Items in your hands.

I honestly feel like just playing legacy PS4 edition just because of this.

This was created in 2017 and still hasn't been fixed.

People that follow this issue. Please share it for this to get fixed.

At this point in time it is stil not fixed.
Sadly I just missed the three year anniversary, maybe I'll be there next year?

I just gave the 30th vote for this issue. Maybe if we keep trying, we could finally fix the splitscreen bug. Also I'm watching this issue until it gets fixed.

Apparently on a Nintendo Switch ad, this game was featured. It featured split screen, and the items got placed in a perfect fit. Could this mean Mojang might finally fix the bug? I’ll leave a link so you can see the split screen footage.

@AlightWolf44887 The commercial has the right size of the items but it hasn't been fixed ingame yet. Not cool Mojang...

For people who just found this bug, this is a screenshot from the commercial that shows perfect split-screen. Notice how it's ridiculous this isn't in the game yet. So yeah, do your best to help vote this issue. Your help will make the Bedrock community play split-screen normally on console again!

It is also in 1.16.221?

Yes

In split screen, the off hand item covers most of your viewing area. It's not just that it is too big, it's that the location of the item is in the center of your view.

Still not working on XBOX One....map only showing about half on either screen.

Still with problem in Xbox One, can see only half of the map.

PS4 can still only see half of map as well!

I even tried to increase the POV in the hopes to see the map in split screen co-op. But that doesn't help. 😞

It seems they fixed it, at least in horizontal splitscreen. Apparently it was fixed in 1.18.30.
