Hi
(Never posted a thread hopefully I'm doing it right)

So when I play feed the beast I like adding my own mods. One mod I added was the web display mod. To use this mod, you need to run minecraft with a 32 bit java installation. I have a 64 bit computer. In the regular launcher, I know you can change this to 32 bit by changing the java path tho the folder in program files (x86). How do I get feed the beast to run on 32 bit java?

Well you could force the game to run on 32 bit by only having 32bit java installed I guess. But why on earth would you do so? You do know that you can only assign the game 1GB of memory then, which really limits the size of packs you can play. We are talking FTB lite without texture packs.

It's all but impossible to play any of the 1.6.4 packs on 32-bit Java (other than FTB Lite 2 which was designed specifically for that). There's no valid reason for wanting to limit yourself to the 32-bit version of an application when you can run the 64-bit version of it.
