Godot-JVM

JVM binding for the Godot Game Engine

Overview

Godot-JVM lets you write Godot game and application logic in Kotlin, Java, or Scala. Install the GDExtension addon to use the JVM bindings with the official Godot editor and export templates.

Code Distribution

Distribute desktop games as JARs with an embedded JRE, so players do not need to install Java. Alternatively, compile your JVM code into a native library with the GraalVM native-image workflow.

Status

Godot-JVM 1.0.0 is production-ready. We welcome suggestions and feedback to keep improving the project and its API.

Install

Use Godot 4.7.2 or newer and JDK 17 or newer. Download the addon archive from the GitHub releases page and extract it into your project's root directory. The resulting layout must contain addons/jvm/jvm.gdextension. Open the project with the release's minimum Godot version or newer.
