Alright, so I've been trying to install Java 7 on my Mac OS 10.7.5 to install Eclipse. That is still not quite working, but Java 7 is on my computer now. However, apparently minecraft doesn't run in 64-bit by default (which is what my Java version is now), so I googled for a way to work around this found that I could start from the terminal like so: java -d64 -jar ../Minecraft.app/Contents/Resources/Java/Bootstrap.jar
This worked, brought up the launcher and everything, but all my profiles are now missing. I check my /Library/Application Support/minecraft folder and everything is still there. Very confused. I start the launcher again, see that somehow it is creating a new minecraft folder in some random /var/root folder on my computer. I navigate to there in finder, sure enough there's a (mostly empty) minecraft folder with an empty versions folder. How do I get minecraft to look in the right directory again while using terminal to start in 64 bit mode? Thanks.
