TWL's PNGDecoder:

Used for loading textures. Does not seem to be available directly anymore as the official website seems to be in use by scammers. A modified copy is included in the client module (and other libraries including slick-util also include a copy).

JSON-java

A simple JSON parser reference implementation used for loading GLTF files in the client (not actually implemented).

JavaFX

Used for the server launcher. Use the latest version.

Apache Commons Validator

Used to provide intuitive error display in the server launcher.
