Hot-Join is a splitscreen mod that works by launching new instances and automatically resizing windows.
Requirements
- Fabric API
- Concentration
- One of the following:
- TwinSession
Usage
Remember to auto-hide the Dock (on macOS) and the Task Bar!
AuthMe
To log into a Microsoft account: /hotjoin authme microsoft
Legacy4J
Traditional method: /hotjoin legacy4j
OR
For a more reliable experience, use the SDL controller handler.
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.
Wait a few seconds (around 30 if you're not playing with loads of mods), and the second instance should open.
Limitations
As of 0.3.0, only 2 player splitscreen is supported.
As of 0.4.0, 4 player splitscreen is supported!
