Downloading runtime issue in Minecraft

Downloading runtime issue in Minecraft - Unrecognizable ethnic female therapist taking notes on clipboard while filling out form during psychological appointment with anonymous client lying on blurred background

I have Minecraft running on a Mac OS X Yosemite. When I click on it, a message shows me that it's "downloading runtime". I opened it a few times and it shows me the message again and again. Then I searched the web for answers that will help me get rid of it and then a sign popped-up in my browser saying that Minecraft can't open because Java isn't installed. But I heard that Java is not needed to open up Minecraft, right?

Although after an hour with my mom and I trying to sort out the problem I found out that Minecraft can be opened up by clicking the launcher.jar in ~/Library/Application Support/Minecraft.

I was searching high and low for an answer for the problem I have specifically, so I decided to ask my question on how get rid of this "download runtime" thing when I run Minecraft directly.

Best Answer

This download runtime is basically a file that the Minecraft launcher is trying to find. The file that Java is trying to find is called Java Runtime Environment. It couldn't find it on your computer, so it has to download it. What you can do to get rid of it is just download Java. It is the easiest approach to this whole problem.
