4 Player local splitscreen on Java version of Minecraft!!

Minecraft on PS4 and Xbox has an option for splitscreen 4 players where friends can play with each other, so why don't PC players get this opportunity?

    The problem here is that only one person at a time can get on a mouse and keyboard, which is, I'm pretty sure, the only supported way to play on Java edition. Normally, you can only put one mouse and one keyboard on a PC, thus making this split screen impossible. The only reason you can do it on console is because a console is made to be able to have multiple controllers. Plus, a computer screen is too small for split screen, whereas consoles are on TV.

    I agree with ALG42000, this seems impossible! Plus even if there were a way to do it! It would be compact and cramped when playing with other people. (Nice idea, but I don't think it would be possible...)
