The odd spin-off title Minecraft Dungeons has finally arrived, bringing blocky, dungeon crawling action to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and even the Nintendo Switch. And while cross-play is not available at launch, developer Mojang has confirmed this will be coming in the future. As the millions of Minecraft fans descend upon their new campsite, a common question has emerged — how do you access local multiplayer?

Fortunately, this is incredibly well-engineered feature and is a simple task to complete regardless of the system you're playing on. In the video below you can see from start to finish how to get started on local multiplayer. There are a few extra wrinkles when playing multiplayer on PC, but we will cover that in more detail at the end of the article. The steps here are relatively straightforward.

To begin, start the game and load up to the campfire screen. Select the green box in the lower-left corner, choose offline game, then press start. You will be loaded to the Camp, which may confuse people; however, don’t quit out of the game! Once in the camp, it is important to click the Friends box in the top right corner, and the entire right side of the screen will convert to a local player’s layout.

It is relatively straightforward from here, in that any active controllers will have instructions on what to press to join. In the example in the video, the player is instructed to push down on the left stick to join. Once done, a player select screen pops up where users can select from existing characters, or create their own on the spot. The ability to customize their character on the spot is impressive, and when they are ready just press select for the second player to join the party.

Interestingly, the video highlights a common issue for those attempting to play multiplayer on PC. In the video, you see that the host is playing on keyboard and mouse and has added two controllers to the system to demonstrate local multiplayer on the same system. This is done, but for some reason there is only the option to play with two players, instead of three, despite three clear input sources (mouse and keyboard, two controllers).

Here the computer actually recognizes either the mouse and keyboard or the first connected controller as the input for player one. The second controller and any additional connections would be recognized as additional players up to four. This makes sense for a variety of reasons but essentially is designed this way to ensure player one has the option to switch to a controller to play.
