I wanted to know, Do I need Java to run minecraft? (If I buy it) Since I have a Mac and it doesn't come with it. I tried playing the demo but it said I was missing a plug in (The Java Plug in). So I wanted to know if I bought the game would it still not let me play because of not having Java?
Thanks

Macs do come with Java on them. and yes you need Java on your computer to play minecraft. with out your computer wouldn't know what to do with the code that minecraft is written in. As far as the demo version if that is played through the browser then your browser may need updating. But if its played on the desktop then you may just need to update java on your computer which is as simple as running the system update program on you Mac and checking for any updates. Apple pushes out their own updates for Java, which is why you can't find it on the site with the rest of the Java versions.

For a calculator can do math just as well as you, but a calculator can not use math to make the world a better place.
