Sadly Microsoft can not understand people on PC want this feature and have been asking for it forever. Your better off buying a Nintendo Switch and playing it on there. Far cheaper and better support.

so, i purchased bedrock edition just for splitscreen, and i dont know how to get it working. with keyboard & mouse as P1 and gamepad as P2, how to set it up? do i need to enter a second microsoft account for P2 and purchase minecraft for the second time? do i need original xbox controller (emulator for orig xbox controller) ?? what do i need ? all that happening rn is that i just enter my world and can play with keyboard & mouse, and when i connect gamepad, it just lets me play as same character with gamepad, switching controls. no "press select to enter as P2" pop-ups, nothing ; (

Unfortunately, split-screen multiplayer is only available in console versions of Minecraft. This feature is not available on PC, whether it is the Legacy or the Bedrock version.
Sorry for the inconvenience..
Feel free to ask if you have if you have any other question !

At the moment there is no possibility to play split screen on the PC from the same minecraft. But there are some software like nucleuscoop that allow you to do it. I would recommend that you look for a tutorial that will help you with even the smallest problem.
Today on PC you have many more possibilities than on any console, you just have to find them.
