64 bit installed, together with 32 bit of java...
minecraft cannot locate the 64 bit of java and uses the 32 bit version.
tried to uninstall, minecraft didnt work AT ALL.
does minecraft even uses 64 bit of java right now?
EDIT: im using 1.9, and in 1.9 it tells me that it detected that i have a 32 bit java installed, because i use far distance rendering.
but i have both.
yes, its possible to have both, just like java's website tells by itself :tongue.gif:.
It is normal to have both 32 and 64-bit java on a 64-bit Windows system, because most people end up using a 32-bit web browser due to 32-bit flash (I haven't kept up on whether 64-bit flash is available, other than Linux). How do you tell which java minecraft is using? I wonder if java automatically updates both versions.
The version I manually downloaded and installed last in 64-bit Win7 is:
java version "1.6.0_27"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode)
I am sure that minecraft uses 64-bit java in Linux (actually open source icedtea instead of java) because I have nothing 32-bit there.
I have the same problem on Mac OSX Lion. I have both the 32 and 64 bit version of java installed, but minecraft tells me I do not have the 64 bit version.
If you run Java on a command line, try passing the -D64 switch, this should make Java use 64-bit if available. Alternatively invoke the 64-bit version of java directly. In 64-bit windows that should be "C:/program files/Java/Jre*/bin/Java.exe" where * is the version of Java (should either be 6 or 7)

Is your computer 64 bit or 32 bit? If it's 64 bit, it will run the 64 bit version. If it's 32 bit, It should run the 32 bit version.
Hey folk, I've been trying to set up this batch file, or shortcut, or whatever to get Minecraft to use Java 64 bit, but I'm not having any luck.
Yes, I have a 64 bit operating system, a Gateway 3 ghz dual core, with 4 gig of ram, Radeon HD 4250, Windows 7, tried both Java 6 and 7, not concurrently, both 64 bit and 32 bit, tired uninstalling 32 and just running with 64 and even then it doesn't work, and I have a bit (mostly outdated) computer savvy
Now that that's outa the way, I'm using Java 7, as if neither work, I might as well stay with the better one that doesn't. As such, I've set up my .bat file as such -
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2G -Xms1024M -cp C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\minecraft.exe"
pause
I've also tried similar with changing the target on the short cut. I've referenced about 20+ forum posts, websites, and been at this all afternoon. What am I doing wrong, or WTF is going on, on the off chance I'm not incompetent. :tongue.gif:

did that, didnt work.
minecraft cant detect the 64 bit version. it says i have to install the 32 bit version even if i have the 64bit version installed
bump? D:
