RuneScape now has built-in plugins that do not require editing client files or downloading tools from third-party sites. The beta opened on October 6 in dedicated PC worlds, and membership is not required.

The opening set has five tools. Quest Helper covers 69 quests; Job Gauges tracks combat resources, while Entity Hider, Tilemarkers, and Menu Entry Swapper handle interface clutter and clicks. Players manage them through the in-game Plugin Hub, which is English-only for now.

Jagex limits plugins to data exposed by its official API and reviews every submission before release. Gameplay automation and access to hidden information are prohibited. Lua is the chosen development language, but public API access is planned for late October.

Mobile support is not part of the beta. Jagex says it will arrive later once the system is stable. Additional plugins will be released in batches rather than immediately after their authors submit them.

This is an update for the existing RuneScape. RS4 and December's Reignited character mode are covered in our earlier story. RuneScape remains free to play on Steam.
