I found this but cannot really understand it (I had to translate it from french!). What do you make of it:

I really should buy a mac one day, but I find it really expensive for what it is and I do not really have the means ...

Since the terminal tells you that you have Java 8, try Launch the game from the terminal. To download the launcher in .jar format: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar Put it in the folder you want and move to this folder using the Order: Code: Cd / path / full / folder Then between the following commands: Code: Chmod + x Minecraft.jar Java -jar Minecraft.jar If everything works well the problem really comes from Java 6, but I really do not know how to change the Java settings under OS X, the only things I know of OS X are the common features with Linux.

By the way, thank you very much for your help, it has been very useful.
