Any good sites that I could download minecraft without needing a certin software?

I'm always being told how good minecraft is but when I try download it it says you need to download java for this software and I really want so please help.

If you don't have java then wtf how do you even do stuff?

Get java(Its free.) and DON't download it from any other sights or your PC will get a virus most likely

Get Java from http://www.java.com/....java.com/ or that can tell you if you already have it and if it is up to date.

If you have 64-bit Windows you might need to also manually install 64-bit Java if you are using an older version of 32-bit Internet Explorer. But I think IE 11.0 in Win7 or newer is now 64-bit on 64-bit systems, so using that to download Java should automatically give you 64-bit Java.

minecraft is a cross platform game that runs in Windows, Mac, or Linux (on Linux openjdk-jre works as java). Although, for Windows there may be an exe launcher, minecraft itself runs in a Java virtual machine.

Note that cracked (pirated) minecraft versions will not work on regular minecraft servers. So you should only download it from minecraft.net.
