Here's How to Split Items in Your Inventory in Minecraft PE

How Do You Split Items in Half in Minecraft PE?

Having an entire stack of a certain item like diamonds you've found on the best levels to find ores can be risky, imagine dying and losing the items! That's why there's the option to split items in Minecraft PE on mobile devices in half so you can store the other half in a chest or give it to your friends. Here's how you can split items in Minecraft PE:

1. Open up your inventory 
2. Tap and hold the item that you want to split until a green bar appears
3. Tap on an empty space in your inventory to split the item in half

Whenever you tap and hold on to any stack of items, you'll always split them in half! You can even tap out of the inventory to throw out the other half of the items. This can be useful when you're trying to get rid of unwanted items, albeit be careful not to throw away the rarest items found in survival mode!

How to Separate Items Into a Desired Amount in Minecraft PE

When you craft items, sometimes you won't want to only split them in half. Luckily for us, there's an option to separate these items in Minecraft PE to however many we want there to be in a stack! So here's how to separate items however much you want into stacks in Minecraft PE:

1. Open your in-game inventory
2. Tap and keep holding your item until a green bar appears
3. While holding the item, slide to the left or right to choose how much to split
4. Tap somewhere in your inventory to separate your item

On older versions of Minecraft PE for mobile devices, the green bar might also appear as a green ball which won't allow you to split items to a desired amount. This will only allow you to guess your split while tapping and holding while the hot bar fills up. So if you've crafted diamonds, don't try to split and drop them instantly in older versions of the game!

That wraps it up for how to split items in Minecraft PE. The touch controls of the game can be a bit tricky to understand, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Now you can go ahead and try out splitting items on the best seeds for Minecraft PE!
