Playing downloaded demo version of Minecraft

I purchased the full Minecraft game but have not been able to set it up so two players can use their controllers. Can you provide any insight on what needs to be done?

hello jwashington1

I don't see why you can't. the full version of Minecraft lets you play 2-4 player local co-op. but if you try to play the demo version of Minecraft and it doesn't let you play with more then 1 controller then Minecraft blocks the 2-4
player local co-op on the demo version.

Here's how to set up local split-screen.

1. Start Minecraft when you've logged on with your first controller.

2. Enter your desired world. Pause the game.

3. Turn on and sync your other controllers if they haven't been connected before. (optional)

4. Log in those controllers and press Resume Game.

Your television screen should be split into two or four parts depending on how many controllers are connected.

I hope this can help you.

Thank you so much for that, Michal. Please uninstall the Minecraft launcher and then reinstall via this link, please choose "Download for Windows 7/8"

hi.



I use Win10 operaing system.



I uninstalled minecraft launcher.



As you suggested I downloaded "minecraft launcher for Win 7/8".



At present I still can't play "minecraft java demo version". I can't launch "minecraft bedroch version". There appears notification that bedrock version is incompatible with launcher

I am logging into Minecraft Java Edition with the Microsoft account that I migrated my Mojang account to, and instead of being a full/paid version of Minecraft, it is only offering me to play the Minecraft "demo" version.
