Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is it possible and realistic to learn independent of an API?
Sort of, I'd recommend a modern higher level API. I'm not sure what the current recommended ones are (probably bgfx), but assuming the wrapper is "low level enough", then the concepts you learn are still going to apply.

LWJGL = SFML vs Allegro vs SDL vs Ogre vs ???
There's kind of a lack of this for C++ in 3D, I think it's often due to the necessity of a secondary scripting language in game engines with C++, which isn't necessarily needed in Java or C#. SFML is like that (but also 2D), Godot is similar (but more geared towards 2D). Ogre3D is an actual engine like I mentioned earlier, not sure how easy it is to use. Cocos2d is higher level, but is also 2D only. I'm not fond of SDL, it feels like a windowing library with slow old school immediate mode stuff attached, so it ends up not being good at the rest of the tacked on things. SDL is popular as a windowing library, and it's why you see it used everywhere (but the most notable uses of it aren't using their drawing capabilities), I often see bgfx thrown around, and for you it might be a good choice, though I have no experience with it.

Is it a crazy idea to create a 3D operating system?
Another route could be using an abstraction over Vulkan (faster, more efficient, more difficult): bgfx, dawn, magma, or wgpu (Rust).

The update we all want but will never get
now, java is actually quite a performant language and even if its not most of the performance bugs in mc are due to it being single threaded, inefficient chunk generation and optimizing, and it built ontop of opengl WHICH isn't much of a performance hit but its still ehh idk it doesn't matter that much (NOW SWITCHING THE GAME TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GRAPHICS API WOULD SUCK ASS TO DO (and vulkan is quite verbose :))) (AND also bgfx would probably be better due to it being an abstraction layer ontop of all the graphics apis so minecraft could target many depending on your platform (and also bedrock used to (or still does i dont know) use bgfx before they switched to just two (IF IM READING MC WIKI RIGHT BECAUSE IM NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF THEY USE BGFX STILL ?? SO THEY COULD STILL BE TARGETING MULTIPLE YET THEY JUST WROTE THEIR NEW SHIT BAD IDK))

OSS Game Engines are increasing their stars on GitHub due to Unity's missteps
For anyone interested, LibGDX[1] is a very nice open-source game engine for Java. It is cross-platform (mobile, PC/mac, web). Very popular and well maintained, too.

Transfer from Processing to LibGDX. I need your advises.
Source is also available on github https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx to directly check the implementation of a specific classes.

(Java) Is there any way to convert InputStream to temp File without OutputStream?
And let me explain, for example jorbis this library has a lot of nested loops in it, i understand why this library using this, but this is really bad. Because when I am trying to use library with this code, this taking so much time to convert ogg to pcm, and yes I know that converting ogg to pcm is a hard process, but I need to optimize my program, make it more better. The main thing is EVERY decoding ogg file library using the same piece of code! And I am not joking for example libgdx.

(Java) How to .ogg file convert to pcm?
What the pcm file contains? And what is the structure? What data I should use for converting .ogg file into pcm? Is there any information about pcm files? Is there any repositories in github that converts .ogg files into pcm? (I am already know there is JVorbis, libgdx and jorbis but thats not what i want)

This Watcher seed is divine, its a sin to not try it out if you can. (on pc)
There's a code snippet showing the seed generation and how it feeds into each RNG pattern but it also mentions the use of a "xorshift128+ algorithm" here: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/gdx/src/com/badlogic/gdx/math/RandomXS128.java

Contacting an author of libGDX or someone that can answer a legal question?

Instancing/Instanced Rendering in LibGDX (3D)
I found an example for rendering a [Mesh] object using instancing in LibGDX's tests (link), but I'm not sure how to apply that for rendering actual models.

How to convert gradle project to ant project?
assuming you use that (https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/build.gradle) as your starting point. You first have to ask what it is that your build should cover. Do you need all the spotless checks and release flags and so on or do you just need to package everything up so that it could run.
