jMonkeyEngine is a modern developer friendly game engine written primarily in
Java.
Its minimalistic and code first approach makes it perfect for developers who
want the support of a game engine while retaining full control over their code
with the ability to extend and adapt the engine to their workflow.

JMONKEY INITIALIZER, LIBRARY AND P2P DONATIONS

Hello jMonkey community, I bring you some exciting news: jMonkeyEngine
Initializer Thanks to @richtea we now have an awesome web tool that simplifies
the creation of jme projects for both new and advanced users: The jMonkeyEngine
Initializer. This tool is found in the Get Started page and assists in the
creation of new multi-platform gradle projects. Library: the new Store We are
moving what is currently referred as “jmonkey store” to a new solution called
“jmonkey library”. … Read More...

MACOS RENTING AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE CLOUD

MacOS cloud renting has started to proliferate with the new Apple Silicon M1
chip and it turned out to be a pretty decent way to test graphical applications
on MacOS without buying apple’s pricey hardware or resorting to hackish ports
and vms of questionable legality. I am reporting here the procedure to quickly
get a MacOS M1 cloud service up and running for testing jmonkey applications
without too much hassle. … Read More...

JMONKEYENGINE


POWERFUL GRAPHICS

jMonkeyEngine is only one level of abstraction away from OpenGL.
The engine exposes modern opengl capabilities and benefits from high
performances due to its low level of abstraction.
Notable features include:
 * Physically Based Rendering
 * Singlepass Lighting
 * Instanced Rendering
 * Multitarget Rendering
 * Tessellation
 * Geometry Shaders
 * Offscreen Rendering
 * sRGB support with linearization
 * Floating point textures
 * Tone Mapping (HDR)
 * Steep Parallax
 * Shadows

And more...


PHYSICS

jMonkeyEngine supports multiple physics solutions
 * jBullet: java porting of Bullet Engine
 * Minie : A binding to Bullet Engine, with support for rigidbody and softbody
   physics


NETWORKING

There are multiple options to write netcode in jMonkeyEngine:
 * Spidermonkey: A feature rich java client-server networking API that uses TCP
   and UDP packets. With support for RMI and Object Serialization.
 * SimEthereal : A high performance library for real-time networked object
   synching
 * Monkey Netty : A implementation of a server-client system using Netty.IO that
   utilizes both TCP and UDP.


GUI

In jMonkeyEngine there are several established choices for GUIs:
 * Lemur : a modular library for 2D and 3D interactive guis, with a groovy-based
   styling language
 * Nifty GUI: a library to build interactive user interfaces with support for
   xml layouts.
 * IGUI : a minimalistic immediate GUI with minimal input handling


POSTPROCESSING

jMonkeyEngine supports postprocessing out of the box and comes with several
filters ready to use.
Such as:
 * Bloom
 * FXAA
 * Cartoon Edges
 * Light Scattering (GOD rays)
 * SSAO
 * Tone Mapping
 * Volumetric Light

And more...


3D AUDIO

jMonkeyEngine supports 3D audio with
 * OpenAL: Cross platform 3D audio. With basic support for positional sound and
   precomputed reverb.
 * jmePhonon : Binding to SteamAudio for immersive sounds. With support for
   HRTF, occlusion, realtime reverberance and more... (pc only)


TERRAIN

There are several libraries and frameworks that aid in the creation of terrains
in jMonkeyEngine.
Notable choices are:
 * TerraMonkey: An high performance editable heightmap based terrain with
   autogenerated LOD and triplanar mapping.
 * Blocks : A voxel engine with support for custom shapes, physics and endless
   terrain.
 * IsoSurface : An isosurface terrain
 * SimArboreal : A library to generate procedural trees
 * SeaMonkey: Postprocessing filter that simulates water and underwater effects


PARTICLES

jMonkeyEngine comes with particles capabilities in the core and multiple
advanced thirdparty alternatives:
 * jMonkey Particles: Simple and fast particles with support for point sprites
   and basic emitter logic
 * Particle Monkey : A modern particle system with better artistic controls
 * jme-EffekseerNative : Binding to the Effekseer particles runtime.


MULTY PARADIGM

Thanks to its flexibility, jMonkeyEngine can be used with different paradigms:
 * Spatial-Control model: An intuitive model where Spatials are game entities
   and Controls determine their logic
 * Zay-ES : High-performance entity-component-system model (ECS)


BY THE COMMUNITY

During the years jMonkeyEngine has received many contributions in form of
addons, assets and libraries.
Recently we launched the Software Store to collect all of them in a single
place.


FOR THE DEVELOPERS

Simple, easy to setup, modular and minimalistic in its approach, jMonkeyEngine
is made for the developers.
Its flexibility allows it to be adapted to different workflows and easily
extended to support new features.


FREE FOR EVERYONE

jMonkeyEngine is free and opensource. Released under the permissive BSD 3-Clause
license.
No splash screens, no fees and no requirement to mention jMonkeyEngine in your
game at all.
And More ...
