I'm afraid Java support for PowerPC ended quite some time ago so all our G5's and below are stuck running an old version of Java 5 I'm afraid. No modern minecraft for you!

Hi all! I have been looking for this file for a while: java-6-dp9.dmg
Does anybody have that? That contains the PPC Java SE 6 for Leopard. Thanks!
1. Install DMG
2. su root; cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions; ls
3. Make sure you see '1.6 -> 1.6.0' CurrentJDK -> 1.5
4. rm CurrentJDK (removes symbolic link, not the jdk)
5. ln -s 1.6 CurrentJDK
6. java -version
I run my own Tekkit server actually so I'm passionate about minecraft too
oh, i see. can i have the ip?
Here is DP8. Don't lose it - it took me a long time to find it! I never could find the DP9 though.
My G4 is currently out of action, so it's untested. Please report back with your findings.
Possible install method:
Yes you can!
It's a Tekkit Lite server and the address is:
snovia.nanotekkit.us
Feel free to have a look around!
Why don't you switch to FeedTheBeast, which is just like tekkit, but has permission from the modders, and industrial craft.
That's just a link to Apple's Java for Leopard 8 Update. Here's the latest 10 update: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1359

Soylatte is a build of OpenJDK 6 (has possible been updated to 7?) for PowerPC. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but it's incompatible with some things due to various missing components (odd, because OpenJDK 6 on Linux works just fine). It might be worth giving it another shot though.There is another thing here:

Dear lord, a file which doesn't get lost when the server goes offline, the horrors. If more files were available as torrents then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but the torrent your provided seems to be dead. If you still have the file, can you reupload it?
I'm seeding it now, check it

The torrent is just Apple's Java Update 8 for Leopard. See my previous post to download the latest Update 10. If you still want the Update 8, you can download it from Apple's site.
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs.
First of all, you linked Update 10. Furthermore, the description explicitely states that it will update Java 6 only on 64-bit intel Macs.
I know I linked to Update 10, that what my post and my quoted say. The description may say that, but it's no different that Update 8.
