After years of requests and attempts, a software store (a.k.a an asset store) for jmonkey has finally been created and is now open to registration. Everybody can register and submit their software! https://jmonkeystore.com/ Currently only free open-source software can be submitted.

AppStates are the building blocks for your application. They help you separate your application into logical parts and can be used to quickly extend the base application.

jME3 comes with a wide array of special effects, primarily through the use of post processor filters and particle emitters. These are the “smoke and mirrors” tricks that allow you to emulate the wondrous stuff of nature, such as water, fog, light scattering and of course, explosions.

The jewel in jMonkey’s crown. Our community is second to none, and full of knowledgable helpful members.

Browse the store for free assets created by the community. Sounds, models, textures, even tech demos are all available for free to download.

jMonkeyEngine is completely free and open source! No splash screens, no fees and no requirement to mention jMonkeyEngine in your game at all.

If you have the ability to create some cool features, filters or technologies, contributing your code to the engine provides those features to everyone. Your contributions may even be given the spotlight in the news! Major contributors are given special ranks on the forum as a mark of respect for their generosity toward the engine.
