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 :)

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.
