You can view our currently available plugins below.
Installation
Perform the following to install:
- On Windows go to
C:\Users\<YOUR_NAME>\AppData\Local\RuneLite
- Rename
RuneLite.jar
toRuneLite-backup.jar
This is the official version of RuneLite if you every want to swap back. - Go to our releases page and download the latest version of the launcher jar file. It will be called
kraken-launcher-<version>.jar
. - Move the downloaded
kraken-launcher-<version>.jar
toC:\Users\<YOUR_NAME>\AppData\Local\RuneLite
- Rename
kraken-launcher-<version>.jar
toRuneLite.jar
- Run with
RuneLite.exe
or via jagex launcher (see Jagex launcher details below)
Jagex Launcher & Jagex Accounts
The Kraken Launcher is compatible with the Jagex accounts as well as the Jagex launcher. In order to use the Kraken Launcher with Jagex accounts follow this guide:
- For Windows, run
RuneLite (configure)
from the start menu. Otherwise, pass--configure
to the launcher (i.e./Applications/RuneLite.app/Contents/MacOS/RuneLite --configure
on Mac). - In the Client arguments input box add
--insecure-write-credentials
- Click Save
- Launch RuneLite normally via the Jagex launcher. RuneLite will write your launcher credentials to .runelite/credentials.properties.
- On your next launch it will use the saved credentials allowing you to use your Jagex account with Kraken plugins.
If you want to use a non-jagex account with Kraken you can delete the credentials.properties file to return your Kraken Client back to normal.
If for any reason you need to invalidate the credentials, you can use the "End sessions" button under account settings on runescape.com.
RuneLite Mode
If you would like to run RuneLite like normal without any Kraken plugins loading:
- Click the windows start menu
- Type "RuneLite (Configure)" and hit enter
- In the dialogue box click the "RuneLite mode" checkbox
- Click Save
Your next client run will not load any Kraken plugins and leave RuneLite untouched.
