General

• MonoGame - - Source code for the framework and its tools.
• FNA - - Desktop unique reimplementation of XNA 4.0 apis. It can be used to build desktop versions and be sure to have the same behavior on all platforms.
• DigitalRune - - .NET libraries for developing 3D games with XNA and MonoGame

Engines

• Nez - - Source code for the framework and the tools.
• Monocle - Framework created and maintained by @MattThorson for his games (Towerfall, Celeste, ...).
• MonoGame.Extended - - A collection of classes and extensions to make it easier to make games with MonoGame.
• CocosSharp - - CocosSharp is a C# implementation of the Cocos2D and Cocos3D APIs that runs on any platform where MonoGame runs.
• Protogame - - Protogame is an open source game engine (MIT licensed) written on top of MonoGame and C#, designed to allow game developers to rapidly produce games within 48 hours.
• Gem - - A cross-platform game engine with GUI and multiplayer support using MonoGame, Farseer and Lidgren.
• Aether Engine - - A lightweight, modular game engine.
• Corund - - An engine for 2D mobile games.
• Simplex Engine - - Free alternative to Game Maker Studio 2, porting and flavoring GML to C#, running on MonoGame.
• Monofoxe - - A game engine greatly inspired by Game Maker. It makes game development in Monogame way easier and faster without removing low-level access to the framework.

Tiles

• TiledSharp - - C# library for parsing and importing TMX and TSX files generated by Tiled, a tile map generation tool.
• TiledLib.Net - - Cross-platform Tiled map parsing utilities.

Animations

• SpriterDotNet - - A simple, fast and efficient Spriter implementation in pure C#.
• Spine - - 2D skeletal animation runtimes for Spine.
• Aether.Animation - - GPU & CPU Skinned animation for 3D models.
• Spritesheet - - Simple helper for creating sprite based animations.

Audio

• ChaiFoxes.FMODAudio - - Cross-platform C# FMOD wrapper with support for Windows, Linux and Android.

User Interfaces

• EmptyKeys - - Create UI from a WPF like XAML.
• GeonBit.UI - - UI system.
• Myra - - UI Library for MonoGame.
• Apos.Gui - - UI library for MonoGame.

Interop

• MonoGame.Forms - - the easiest way of integrating a MonoGame render window into your Windows Forms project.
• MonoGame.WpfCore - - MonoGame embedded inside a WPF app as a dotnet new template.

Physics

• Farseer - Original physics engine with a collision detection system with realistic physics responses built for XNA.
• Farseer.Portable - - Farseer Physics compiled as a portable class library (PCL) against the PCL version of MonoGame.
• Jitter - - A maintained fork of the Jitter physics engine, which is used in Protogame.
• Humper - - Collision detection for Axis-Aligned-Bounding-Boxes (aka AABB) in C#.
• Aether.Physics2D - - A 2D Physics simulation and collision detection system for MonoGame. Fork of the Farseer Physics Engine.
• BEPUphysics - Pure C# 3D real time physics simulation library. (With MonoGame examples)
• VolatilePhysics - A 2D Physics Library for Networked Games
• VelcroPhysics - High performance 2D collision detection system with realistic physics responses. (Ex-Farseer)
• BulletSharp - NET wrapper for the Bullet physics library.

Artificial Intelligence

• A-Pathfinding-and-movement-system-demo - - A* pathfinding and movement system in C# and MonoGame taken from the Vault-Tech engine
• AStar - - A* Star Pathfinding Search Algorithm in C#.
• Roy-T AStar - - A 2D path finding library based on the A* algorithm for .NETStandard 1.0 and .Net 4.5 and higher. This library has no external dependencies.

Effects

• Penumbra - - 2D lighting with soft shadows for MonoGame.
• MGShaderEditor - - Shader Editor for MonoGame's Effects.

• LilyPath - - A 2D path and shape drawing library for MonoGame and XNA.
• FSMsharp - - Incredibly small finite state machine for .NET languages, written in C#. Useful for UIs and games.
• Mono.GameMath - - Optimized math for games, based on XNA APIs.
• Comora - - A simple 2D camera for MonoGame.
• XNALibrary - - XNA/MonoGame tool library. IsolatedStorageFile Wrapper, Garbage-free StringBuilder, Phasor, Timer, Scheduler, InputState, PMS/duty-cicle Vibrate control, Common Vertex types, DataStructures & Collections.
• Transform - - Base objects for managing relative transforms.
