RuneLites

RuneLites is a community-developed client for the popular MMORPG RuneScape. It is an alternative to the official game client, offering various enhancements and quality-of-life improvements. RuneLites is built with Java and is open-source, meaning its code is publicly available for anyone to inspect and contribute to. This open nature has fostered a large and active development community.

Key features of RuneLites include customizable interfaces, allowing players to rearrange and resize elements of the game screen. It also provides a wide range of plugins that add new functionalities. These plugins can offer anything from performance enhancements and graphical improvements to helpful overlays for in-game activities like boss fights, skilling, and clue scrolls. For example, some plugins can display vital information such as enemy health bars, optimal inventory setups, or timers for important in-game events.

The developers of RuneLites emphasize that it adheres to RuneScape's official rules of conduct. It does not provide any gameplay advantages that would be considered cheating or botting. The client is designed to enhance the player's experience through information and convenience, not by automating gameplay. RuneLites is available for download on its official website and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Its popularity stems from its ability to make the RuneScape experience more streamlined and informative for many players.
