So I just got a Macbook and downloaded Minecraft. It said I needed to update Java before I ran it, so I did. I tried running it again, I logged in, it downloaded the packages, but then a black screen. After a minute or two it came up with this error message:

I have no idea what any of it means and I have no idea what's wrong. The Mac definitely meets more than the recommended requirements of Minecraft, and yes, I download the Mac version, not Windows. So why won't it run?
