=== '''About JBMod''' ===
JBMod is a pioneering modification for Half-Life 2, recognized as the very first Source engine mod ever released. Created by JB55 (Jack Box 55) and launched on December 1st, 2004, JBMod enabled players to manipulate physics and build contraptions in ways that were previously impossible in the base game. Its early release—just hours after the Source SDK became available—cemented its place in modding history as a groundbreaking project that inspired future sandbox mods, most notably Garry’s Mod.

=== '''Historical Significance''' ===
JBMod’s release marked the beginning of Source engine modding. Although its development slowed after the initial years, JBMod’s influence was profound. It directly inspired Garry’s Mid, which built upon JBMod’s foundation and evolved into one of the most popular sandbox games of all time. JBMod’s legacy continues today, with renewed development and a dedicated fanbase revisiting its unique approach to physics-based gameplay.
