The solution is here in the comments. You just need to read them.
Here is an attempt to distill the instructions:
1. Download this and unzip it to a directory:
https://cdn.mmoui.com/minion/v3/Minion3.0.11-java.zip
2. Open a Terminal on your Mac
3. Run these commands:
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
sdk install java 11.0.21.fx-librca
4. If prompted to make this your default Java, type "y" and hit enter
5. In the terminal, use the cd command to go to the folder where you extracted Minion
6. Run: java -jar Minion-jfx.jar
Alternatively, if you have no other Java runtime on your system, you can download Liberica as your system Java: go to
https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/ and download the "Full JDK" for the appropriate Mac architecture (ARM64 for Apple Silicon; the other for Intel), install the software using the .dmg or .pkg like normal, then you might be able to double-click the Minion-jfx.jar in your Finder to run it.
Either way, there is no simple "download the Minion app bundle and double click it" way to successfully start Minion right now.
