It took many years of development, but we have finally replaced the aging MGA bot on the classic servers with a completely new plugin rewritten completely from scratch!

It can rocket jump onto pillars and properly navigate across the entire arena. Best of all, since it can rocket jump properly now, it is able to aggressively attack with just the Market Gardener and no longer uses annoying airshots to defend itself!

Hop onto our servers and give them a try! This is an early release so there are some bugs to iron out, and we will be adding more features and rocket jumping techniques to it over time (like wallshots and syncs), so stay tuned!

The plugin architecture is complex but highly customizable, so we plan to make this plugin available open-source to the community for other uses like airshot practice, so keep an eye out for a release announcement.

Please report any issues or suggestions you may have in the #mga channel over on Discord. Have fun!

Introducing the Goomba Stomping Arena!

We have enabled Goomba Stomping on the JA classic map's Market Gardening Arena with a very high rebound for that extra height advantage.

MGA stats are disabled during this event and we added a few more bots to the arena as easy stomping targets.

Enjoy!

The Australian server is back online following an unexpected IP address change from the server rental company. (Thanks SimplyJpk for the update!)

We will also take this opportunity to change the server port back to the Source server default 27015, so the port can be omitted when connecting. In case you have port 27035 bookmarked using the above subdomain, it has been port forwarded to 27015 so you can connect with either one.

Thanks for your patience!

Hello! Today, we are happy to announce that we are celebrating Jump Academy's 10th anniversary. JA was founded on the 25th of January, 2014 with Weap0wned as its first owner and since we started tracking in 2017 we’ve had over 1 million unique players join our servers! Since its inception, JA has been home to a number of dedicated individuals with an unbounded passion for jumping. AI took over ownership in 2015 and has been maintaining our servers and community ever since. I personally would like to thank him for his contributions to the community and his level headed approach to administration. His plugins like JumpBot and SyncR have made an impact on both JA and other community servers. It’s just great to see that the jumping community is still thriving after 16 years of this awesome game. Even with the unfortunate extended downtime of our Asia servers, we still have an active community and we hope you will continue to stick with us. We’ve had our ups and downs but overall JA has been and continues to be a fun and amazing community.

Over the years we have made significant progress towards our goal of helping players improve at rocket jumping and we could not have done it without your support. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's been a part of JA, no matter how small their contributions have been. Since 2014, JA has received donations from over 1,200 generous jumpers. These donations are crucial to allow us to maintain our servers and infrastructure and we are excited to announce that our long awaited Patreon integration is almost ready for those looking to regularly support us. We also want to extend a special thanks to current and previous staff as well as those who have taught others, reported bugs, given feedback, reported rule breakers and contributed their skills as coders and mappers (Thanks Chris!!, GentlePuppet, and all of the JA2 mappers).

We won't be stopping any time soon, we’re continuously working on projects for the community. In the short term, we will be rolling out Patreon and its ranks, a timeline of major events in our history on our website, and persistent map progress tracking. In the longer term, we are working on several things including a map completion timer with saved times and a much smarter and more capable MGABOT.

The future's looking bright, thanks for sticking around!
