Yes, Java is the platform Minecraft runs on. Java is free for download.
JRE7 is recommended.
yes
Download the latest version from internet.
You may need to download the newest version of Java for minecraft to work. Or maybe your computer can not handle it.
Any Java program just search Java on Google then download the latest version and then you can play :)! HAVE FUN
Yes, you will need Java. I recommend installing the latest version of Java, JRE7, which I have provided a download link to it on Oracle's site just on the development of JRE7, it will highly increase Minecraft's performance. Also, Minecraft is coded in the Java language. It must be read with a Java program, and in your task manager, Minecraft is "javaw.exe" so a big yes!
Not at all. Minecraft REQUIRES Java. If you don't have it, sorry! It is also important when downloading Java to play Minecraft to understand whether you need the 32-bit or 64-bit version for your computer. For more information regarding this check out the guide I have included in the Related Links section below.
not that i heard of minecraft might be what your looking for tho you will need the newest version of java.
You need java
minecraft itself and java
Yes, as you get better and higher quailty of java and lot of memory, more faster the minecraft will run. More importantly, it is better to have the correct version of Java based up whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. I have included in the Related Links section below. There is also a program called Minecraft Portable that you can download that lets you install Minecraft onto a USB stick or other portable storage device. Minecraft can then be played on any computer, even without Java. You can also use Minecraft Portable to install Minecraft onto a computer that does not have Java or the Java is not working, or the necessary version. See the related link below for system requirements.
