How is this still unresolved? I see split screen multiplayer ads on television showcasing split screen mode. This is ruining the gaming experience of split screen Minecraft. The recent post by the mod is not accurate. I have the base version of the game on Xbox One, even after reinstalling the game and starting new worlds the glitch exists regardless of packs being added or not. In fact, the problem not only exists on the base version it gets worse when you add a pack. We have 1.17 out and it is still a problem. I'm sure when caves and cliffs is fully released it will still be a problem, what is going on? If it didn't degrade the gaming experience blocking your screen it would not be as big of a deal but it is.
Are they going to fix this? I got into Minecraft maybe 6 months ago and learned that I could play split screen with my son recently. Player 2 cannot hold Shields or anything properly without it taking up half the screen and it looks weird from my perspective. Can this be fixed?
I can confirm 1.17.4 did not fix this issue on split screen multiplayer for bedrock. The main issue I face is the use of the Shield. When the Shield is used by the main player, the second player view of it is wrong whether you are in crouching position or not. Moreover, when player 2 uses a shield and looks towards player one it distorts most of the screen. Other issues and items stack on these but other people have described them well. I believe the bow is also affected. Amongst other items.
