Game uses software rendering even though nvidia graphics is enabled using optimus manager

I am trying run minecraft on arch linux and I am using my nvidia card but minecraft still runs using software rendering, it runs fine on pop os on the same hardware

Are you shure you have installed 32bit nvidia graphics drivers (for Opengl ES2) correctly?
Nvidia drivers are for me allways a pain (if it even works)
My download page cannot include third party drivers like nvidia in the instruction.

how can i make sure i have the 32bit nvidia drivers installed?

there is a 32bit driver in the aur i will try that

yes that was it i needed this driver for it to use hardware rendering and it works as good (if not better) as pop os
