{{Software release|appid=496450}}
{{jack|4}} (commonly {{jack|3|nt=0}}) is a map editor for games with a {{Quake|3.1|addtext=-style}} [[BSP]] architecture. Jack is heavily based on {{hammer|4.1}}, improving upon the experience from {{hammer3|4.1|nt=5}} by adding many quality of life features inspired by those found in {{hammer4|4.1}}, {{q3r|4.1}}, and more.
supporting {{hl1|4.1}}, {{quake|4.1}}, {{quake2|4.1}}, and {{quake3|4.1}}, along with many other games and mods running on their engines, such as {{gunman|4.1}}, {{w|Hexen II}}, and {{w|Tremulous}}.
 
Jack is available for free on its website. A paid version, with several bugfixes and some extra features, is also available on {{steamicon|3}}.
 
{{modernImportant|The map compilers which come with Jack are forked from older versions of the various engines' compile tools and are not actively maintained. Additionally, the '''''paid version of Jack does not include compile tools for {{GoldSrc|2}} due to license conflicts'''''.
 
As Jack exclusively uses Valve220 notation for exported [[MAP]] files (being the first editor to extend it for use with {{quake2|2}} and {{quake3|2}}), a supported compiler is required. The following up-to-date
* {{goldsrc|4}} - [[VHLT|VHLT 3.4]] and forks
** {{svencoop|4}} - [[SCHLT]]
* {{quake|4}} (and {{w|Hexen II}}) - [[ericw-tools]]
* {{quake2|4}} - see [[MAP (file format)#Quake II]]
* {{idtech3|4}} - the version of Q3MAP2 included with {{nrc|4.1}}
