Because Minecraft is built around Java, it is currently impossible to play Minecraft without Java.
Yes, Java is the platform Minecraft runs on. Java is free for download.
Sorry to disappoint you - but the answer is no. You must have Java installed onto your computer in order to play Minecraft, since Minecraft is a Java programmed game and runs in Java. I have provided a download link for the latest Java build in the related links below.
No. Minecraft is written in Java, which means you either have to have a JDK (Java Development Kit) or JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run the game. You can download and install the latest Java from their website (see related links).
You don't: Minecraft is a game based in Java and will not run without Java. Not to mention that Minecraft isn't free either. Sure, there are other ways of getting Minecraft for free, but I'm not telling you to do that.
