jMonkey A FREE Game Engine that uses JAVA!

i know you that maybe you were looking for a game engine that uses the java programming language, the truth is that java is not really supported when it comes to games, here's the solution!

Most of game engines nowadays uses C++ as it's an advanced language and provide the best results, Unity which is the mainstream engine for indie developers (which became so advanced and professional btw) uses C# and javaScript, but not java? Unreal engine needs C++ and most of the other engines uses the same! if you are a java developer and you do not have time to learn C++ or C# even though it won't be that hard of a thing to do, there's jMonkey for you, What is jMonkeyEngine? Well basically It’s a free, open source game engine, made especially for Java game developers who want to create 3D games using modern technology. The software is programmed entirely in Java. in the official website, it is written that jMonkey is for people who wants to do some programming, "It’s not a visual RPG Maker or an FPS modder. You’ll get the most out of the engine if you bring some programming aptitude to the table. Pace yourself, and jMonkeyEngine can be a starting point for any aspiring 3D games developer."
Graphics are good in this Engine, you can see some projects done with it on youtube, it's not so commun and you won't find a lot of projects, but you'll definetly find some tutorials to get started and work your way through!, it has all the usual suspects to simulate candle light, sun light and flashlights as well as global lights, the material system is entirely shader based, it uses shader nodes to build good materials, you may know about this if you have used some 3D applications before, it also 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!
