Hi all,
I convinced my wife to take the plunge into Minecraft recently, and we've been enjoying playing split-screen together on the Switch. Performance, however, has been so incredibly awful that I decided to offload the heavy lifting from the Switch and grab a retired laptop with an RJ45 port from work, turn it into a Proxmox host, spin up PiHole and BIND LXCs to assist with the DNS redirection trick, and have successfully transferred our world via Realms to a Ubuntu VM running a dedicated Bedrock server. I've tested connections from both the Switch client and my desktop PC (Windows 11) client, all successful. I currently do not intend to expose the server to external traffic.
During my Switch test, I decided to connect a second set of Joycons under my wife's profile, but a notification appeared that split-screen is unavailable. Is this always the case for an "online" server, or is there a way for me to allow split-screen while connected to the server?
A couple of added details - my wife's Nintendo Online account has never been signed into **on this Switch**. She has only ever signed in on her own Switch, but we would prefer to play split-screen on one console. She also has never logged into a Microsoft account, nor does her account actually own the game.
