Is Local Coop Split Screen?
There is No Split Screen in MC Dungeons
The short and simple answer is no!
Like seen on the screenshot above, all health bars are displayed on the screen and you will be forced to stay in the same area as your friends.
You'll be teleported to eachother if you go too far apart
With a function the game calles Popping, you'll automatically be teleported to the leading player if you stray too far from each other.
Local Multiplayer - Features and Limitations
Loot for Everyone - Reserved Drops
When you play together, everyone will get loot reserved specifically to them.
You don't have to worry about that cousin who always hoards the rewards while you do all the hard work!
Scaling Difficulty
The difficulty will scale depending on the size of your party. You can see the suggested Team Power when you select Missions, so find that sweet spot between challenge and punishment together!
For all other confirmed features, check this guide:

Online Multiplayer
While it requires Online subscriptions, Online will make it easier to play with friends who live far from your or are in different timezones.
