Unfortunately, most of the links are dead or lead to nowhere :( There was more info 10 or so years back, including class decopilers for the game. According to this Russian Post [1], it's 90% Java + OpenGL, the rest being DirectSound + DirectInput. A recent example is Minecraft :) AFAIR it's also in Java :) [q] https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=ru#!msg/fido7.ru.java/szR6r-80C7s/uomXD-PzJfYJ https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=ru#!msg/fido7.ru.java/sz...

  Minecraft Java Edition is 100% Java, but it's also notoriously slow, and experiences lag spikes, which are often attributed to garbage collection. I think an OS written in a GC language can certainly have adequate latency and throughput, but I don't think Minecraft is a good example of that.

    Mostly due to bad programming practices, as already discussed multiple times in gamming forums.
