Welcome everyone and today I am going to teach y’all how to run Minecraft in 64 bit while having both 64 under 6…

Click the shortcut tab. –In the line for Target, you will need to enter (or copy/paste) the following text: “C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe” -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.LauncherFrame. This directs the client to open in 64-bit Java rather than (by default) 32-bit Java.

The runtime directory is added automatically to the Minecraft root directory which means that you need to add runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe to its path to set it as the default Java version used by the game. Before you can edit the preference, check the executable box in front of it.

You should install 32-bit Java alongside 64-bit Java if you don’t use a 64-bit browser. If you use a 64-bit browser, then 64-bit Java will handle both MC and your browsing needs.

I think the issue is that my MC server is running on 32bit Java. My question is: how do i get it to run on 64 bit java? Thanks btw: this is my startup command in windows powershell (because cmd doesn’t work (“could not acces jar file”)) java -Xms512M -Xmx1200M -jar server.jar

How do I change Minecraft 32 bit to 64 bit?

I only like obscure Touhous like Giant Catfish, or Mimi-chan. As others have already stated, since Minecraft is written in Java… the only way to switch it to the 64-bit version is to install the 64-bit version of Java. As for the question of installing both 32 & 64-bit versions…

Is there a 64 bit version of the Minecraft launcher?

There is no 64-bit launcher. The launcher you get from the minecraft.net will always be 32-bit even if you install it on a 64-bit system. Also, because the launcher automatically installs its own copy of Java, the game will always use the right version of Java (32-bit Java for 32-bit systems, etc) unless you tell it to use a different installation.
