Now that you have the Java 8 CLI, you can execute the Minecraft launcher jar. If you get something like No Java runtime present, requesting install, you may have installed the JRE (you need the JDK). Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode) Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16) The command should return something intelligible like this: java version "1.8.0_51" Open up Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app), type java -version and hit Enter. Make sure you can run Java via command line. Save the file, open it, and run the installer package once the disk image pops up. On the next page, in the first list of downloads, check "Accept License Agreement" and click on the download link for "Mac OS X 圆4". On Oracle's Java SE Downloads page, in the Java Platform, Standard Edition box, click Download by "JDK". This solution is a bit technical, but I'll try to walk you through it. So, to get around this, you'll need to manually call the launcher using command line. The launcher stalls because it can't find the Java runtime it needs. Option 2 - Just use Java 8, already! (recommended)Īs you've discovered, installing Java 8 alone won't do you any good. Having everything run on the latest and greatest Java 8 patch would make everything a whole lot cleaner and easier, which brings us to. The issue with this option is that you have to introduce old technology to make things work. Installing Apple Java 6 will allow the launcher to open however, your Minecraft instances will also run on Java 6, since that is what the game looks for by default unless you override the executable (more on that under Option 2, Step 4 below). You could give the launcher what it wants and install the legacy Apple Java SE 6 runtime.
In recent versions of OS X, however, Java is no longer included, hence the error message you're seeing. This is because Apple used to ship their own version of Java (SE 6) with the operating system (mainly for security reasons).
When trying to run Minecraft on OS X systems, the launcher tries to use Java 6 for Mac by default.
