I recently came into possession of an ancient iMac g5, running OSX 10.5. When I download the launcher, it says I don't have the right java version. When I go to the java website and try to download the correct version, it says java 7 doesn't support 10.6 and below, and for java 6, to go to software update. My software is up to date.
Minecraft 1.6 currently does not work because of issues in LWJGL (library that Minecraft uses) that is out of Mojang's hands. This will be fixed when the makers of LWJGL fixes this bug and releases a new version.
Since Minecraft 1.6, Minecraft no longer supports Java 5 and PowerPC Macs.
