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

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