I just upgraded to yosemite and when my daughter tried to open minecraft is "you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime". having trouble finding this Java..
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Updating Java should fix this problem.

grdh20 's link worked for me. I was having trouble running Illustrator CS6, but this did the trick. Thanks!
The Apple web site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 links to Java 6, specifically 1.6.0_65, a 64 bit version.
If the page does not open (seems to be blank in Safari), you can select shift+command+option while clicking the link, you can also do a cut and paste. Or go to http://support.apple.com and via the search (top right with magnifying glass) type in
"Java for OS X"
Then you can find the page with the title "Java for OS X 2014-00"
Otherwise try a different browser to get there.
A direct link to the file is

We did a video of this at http://youtu.be/AiCjNUJ4RwY
this helped me finally, thanks
Thank you for your help with this issue! I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I even downloaded Java 8 and it wasn't helping open up Minecraft. Thanks for the link!
The direct link works perfect, thanks asweatman
