Why is VirusTotal showing that it's a malware? #5

I downloaded Meteor client version 0.5.6 and scanned the JAR file just for fun, and surprisingly it showed that it is malware https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0058cfe2b24392bb6d84a7cbae10c66ecadfcef47b31e7fa5ad0e8f0b4f71c99.

Now, I'm not saying that this is malware but I'm concerned about the file that I downloaded (I ran the instance for a split second and then stopped it, I don't think the file actually ran lol)

I know that this is a meteor client issue, but can I please get an explanation of why this had happened?

Happens because of obfuscated Minecraft code or something
