32-bit java port made by soylatte (how to install?)

i currently own a iBook G4, i am trying to run minecraft on it. it has a 32-bit processor, but the minimum required version of java is for 64-bit computers.... no 32-bit...(who ever came up with that dumb idea i would like to know....😠) i found a port of java made by "Soylatte". i have "Openmotif" installed... but i can not seem to install the ported Java... any help would be appreciated.....

Forget about running Minecraft on an obsolete Mac with an obsolete operating system.

There are older versions of Minecraft.


The hard part is finding them. You may find it through:

Be careful not to download tools such as MacKeeper, or Cleanmymac. These are actually worse than the common cold. They make you believe you will have something that optimizes your Mac, but in reality they can hijack and seriously slow them down.


http://www.apple.com/usergroups/ may have some sources too.
