Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Playing in split screen on the same display is really annoying and uncomfortable.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for opening a 2nd windows instead of have 2 screens split in the same windows. This way each screen can be in a different display with no dependency between them (for example, 2 different sized displays).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Having the mod take input from a specific controller so I can open 2 different instances and have each controller control an instance.

Additional context

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how Controlify and Minecraft currently create split-screen windows and route controller input. Done would mean independent windows can appear on separate displays without shared split-screen constraints, with the controller-per-instance alternative evaluated.
