I'm having trouble downloading the client. Everytime I click on the launcher it just downloads a .jar file that I can't review or even click to open. I've tried to download the installer and the launcher with no luck. I'm having trouble finding forums or videos to help me out. I'd appreciate a step by step walkthrough if at all possible. 

 

Thank you ahead of time for any responses

Install Java.

Some tips:

Modder Support:

Spoiler

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

Support & Bug Reports:

Spoiler

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

Sorry to bother you, but do you know a safe place to download it from? I'm not that tech-savvy and don't want to download from a not safe place.

Don't download the launcher, use the installer.

And here's a link to get Java: https://adoptopenjdk.net/

 

Make sure to get Java 8 Hotspot.

 

*edit: also, just FYI, only 1.14.4 and 1.15.2 are supported here, so if you're trying for older versions, while they should work, you won't get any help from here with them.
