Why is player 3 joining with only 2 controller's on Minecraft

Hello Allyn L, my name is zahir.

It is a bug. Please try this

SAVE AND QUIT

Close Minecraft fully (press three line button on Minecraft game, select quit game)

Turn off Second controller

Restart Minecraft, load into world

Reconnect second controller Should be fixed

Regards
Zahir

This is just a work around, please fix the bug.

Hey There,

Usually it is in order of gamepad connection or the way they join your lobby.

My advice is to remember the order you turned on the controllers and the order you logged those Guest profiles on the console

Controller 1 is Player 1, so he should be the first to join the lobby.

Controller 2 is Player 2, so he should be the second to join the lobby.

Controller 3 is Player 3, so he should be Third to join the lobby.

Usually, Split Screen games associate the top left corner to Player 1.

The Top-right to Player 2. The Bottom Left to Player 3, and the bottom right to Player 4.

Some games choose a bigger screen for player one when playing with 3 players on the same screen.

So it will be.

Player 1 on the bigger screen.

Player 2 on the bottom left.

Player 3 on the bottom right.

Hope this helps.

I want to play minecraft split screen but the world is made on player 1’s account and player two can’t play on keyboard and mouse or else the keyboard will control player.

TL;DR

THE KEYBOARD CONTROLS THE WRONG ACCOUNT.

Works only for player 1 to be keyboard and mouse

1. turn on Xbox directly, make sure your controller isn't on

2. sign into Xbox with your keyboard and go to a minecraft world

3. turn on the controller and sign into a different account

I think this will work, ill see an ill reply to this one.

In many games 2 or 3 players is a squad, because there is private squad usually filled with only 2 or three people and the occasional autistic player who refuses to join a squad.
