Is anyone still trying to play the game on 32 bit?

No but as someone who started in 1.5.2, I’ve switched to playing ReIndev which is a continuation of Minecraft b1.7.2 and works 32 bit

I think that its nice we as software developers are moving away from 32bit but, I don’t know the benefits of being 64bit for minecraft and what about arm or RISC CPUs. The java version was bound to be uped at some point it, and is the 64bit cpu required or are they shipping a 64bit OJDK

It looks like JDKs aren’t being built for 32-bit architectures any more (as of JDK 20).

A lot of the modern arm chips are 64 bit now fortunately. Not sure about RISC.
