RuneLite Plugins I would Die for (You Need Them)

[@TempestTemple]

A favorite of mine is the "Not Empty" plugin. It flat out removes the "empty" options from potions so you never accidentally empty one when managing your potions.

[@halomaestro3384]

Has anyone ever needed to empty a potion? In what instance is the vial more valuable to the player than a full potion i stg

[@AIIu_]

@@halomaestro3384 The only instance I can think of is if you're doing a quest/diary and need an empty vial but only have vials of water on hand

[@wollfary]

The time Tracking plugin is just so good, not only does it track the time of your bird nests and farming stuff, it even reminds you where they are and the status of them.

[@super8bitvideos]

Citizens is a really fun one. Just adds npcs throughout the world doing immersive little things: Sitting on a bench that usually empty, sweeping falador, training firemaking at the GE

[@johngoter2272]

Damn needs an update.

[@madhououinkyoma]

I've just recently started the game and Runelite and the wiki are awesome. I've been wanting some of the functionality mentioned here and didn't know they existed. Thanks! - Menu Entry Swapper - Spam Filter - Loot Table - Tile Indicators - Roof Removal There's some others I already had but these are a great find! Can't believe RuneLite is only 5 years old. The qol from it is immense. Awesome list dude! From the comments, some I'll try as well are - Instant Inventory - Citizens Other great ones not mentioned: - Shortest Path - Inventory Setups

[@igorthelight]

Try "117HD" - THE best graphical mod! Just don't forget to disable other graphical mods or there could be problems ;-) Or "Quest Helper". Be careful! It makes any quest easy by showing you where and what to do. Very helpful with some annoying quests tho.

[@Rynide]

I really like the "Normal Ancient Teleports" plugin. Very useful for me because I cba to remember names like "Kharyll" or "Ghorrock." Much easier when the teleports say "Canifis" or whatever other teleports the ancient spellbook has on it

[@hunterbertoson156]

The Door Kicker plugin is extremtly underrated. Best plugin ever.

[@maskettaman1488]

Instant Inventory is one of my favourites. Makes inventory actions (dropping etc) appear to happen instantly

[@samconroyy]

Don't understand this, isn't that instant anyway?

[@maskettaman1488]

[@Zanderb20]

implingsaver feature was made default by jagex in a fairly recent update

[@Rakoah]

I knew about most of these but had no idea of the picture in picture plugin. As a single monitor user this is a god send!

[@kilikx1x]

Inventory Setups is definitely a plugin that deserves a mention, especially for players like me that don't like taking the time to constantly reorganize my bank. It lets you save loadouts of both warn equipment and items in your inventory, and then when you open your bank it will have everything that loadout all in one place. You can save the loadouts either by just simply saving what you currently have on you, or by manually going in and changing each slot. I have a ton of different loadouts for different things like specific slayer tasks, different raids, and my different farming runs. Its really worth checking out.

[@fireomen87]

this 100%

[@FearMastaZ]

Someone recently introduced me to the "Runecrafting Utilities" plugin... Absolutely HUGE for training runecrafting! One click drink single dose stams from bank, empty and fill pouches based on where you are (altar or otherwise)... makes things so much more relaxed!

[@kaylo1680]

Bro I have been hammering away at the game nonstop and I never knew about the logout timer, that shit is legitimately game changing.

[@MrBlueeyes247]

dude for real, i've always hated the short logout timer

[@ryanw217]

i thought i knew every plugin but still found some useful ones with this vid. i think my favorite one that you didnt mention is 'shortest path'. it shows you the quickest path to whatever area you set, including teleports etc. useful for zeah or other areas you dont go much. that or the c engineer plugin

[@madhououinkyoma]

I use that all the time, especially as a new player, it's so good.

[@DMrsAR]

ive seen many plug in videos but this is the one where i actually found many useful ones, thanks soup!

[@alexrobinson3251]

One of the most useful videos on OSRS in years

[@OnyxANZ]

the Item Charges plugin changed my life. Seeing the charges on things from within your inventory or even your bank is huge. as a trident user and a proud slayer dart master, I like to know how much charges my stuff has before I go out.

[@DelPlays]

World hopper plugin also allows you to use hotkeys (I recommend changing it to shift+left/right arrow, or even to single key when non-stop world hopping) to hop backwards and forward without needing to open up the worlds menu

[@wrytte]

This! I was surprised it wasn't mentioned. I use "alt + left down/up" arrows to filter through worlds when shop hopping.

[@AnonymouslyHidden]

yup, scrolled down hoping that this was mentioned somewhere. It's saved me countless dragon bone inventories at chaos altar

[@averagestyle5534]

Side note. If you’re an Ironman and have collapse ground items on, if there’s a drop that’s not yours stacked over the drop you have (E.g bones X2, with yours not on top) you can’t left click to pickup until there’s despawns.

[@DontDixtateMe]

Cheers bro

[@Oreos_and_Chill]

That’s why I use the option under the ‘Ground Items’ plugin called ‘Only Show Loot’. Lets you only see items from NPCs or players you’ve gotten. Obviously an iron won’t see items from players in PVP but it gets rid of all ground items from other people.

[@Classic_Jake]

I've wanted fullscreen for 20 years now thank you for finally showing me how its done!!!!

[@logjitzu]

first time in a while one of these plugin videos actually showed plugins I hadn't heard of or used before

[@SoupRS]

thanks for watching!

[@TheTolnoc]

I've always been a fan of the more modern UI, where the whole screen is open with UI overlaid, rather than the fixed mode. I can see the pull of the fixed mode, never accidentally clicking a UI element instead of the play area, but getting 20-40% more real estate on screen is just too good for me to pass up.

[@influx__]

Same. Been playing for 15+ years and the minute I saw it in RL I never went back...

[@Snufolupogus]

The reason people prefer fixed mode is because you don't have to move your mouse as far across the screen for pvm and stuff. I do agree with you that the modern ui increase in play area is king, but it's not the "best"

[@influx__]

@@Snufolupogus I wouldn't use something like a skill issue as the basis of your argument.

[@Snufolupogus]

I'm not arguing, i'm informing him on why people prefer the fixed mode over the modern ui even tho it looks so much worse. It's a fact lmao @@influx__

[@rachelnovotny5208]

by doing those settings, my screen does not look like what he showed. Any tips to help?

[@VissageGuy]

Bank tags & Bank Tag Layouts are absolutely essential plugins. Make a tab for any piece of content e.g. minigame, boss, skill then you can put your relevant gear and any items in it and incredibly easily regear or resupply for the piece of content you're doing without having to remember/look up e.g. each individual boss that needs antipoison, or ranged def gear when you're meleeing, how many stam pots you need etc. You can have as many tags on each item as you want and you can even duplicate items in layouts so you can have exact quantities without having to remember a thing.

[@e33d90]

So essential that I have always played without

[@jakobaasted]

Anti Drag has likely saved my more times than I can count, letting you customize for how long you have to hold an item for it to drag. So when you frantically dash down to dose a brew, you dont just drag it in place and plank. Or when you're spam fletching, making you actually fletch instead of just swapping the feathers and bolts around for 10 minutes

[@MadsJespersen]

Fixed Mode Hide Chat - I love the benefits of fixed mode, but sometimes the chat is just too big and in the way. After discovering the plugin, i can't live without

[@TheGh0stShip]

0:25 - Please remember that part of the protection of the bank pin being something you must click on is that if you were to have a keylogger on your machine it wouldn't be observable since the pin entry screen is random layout. Granted if an attacker is already on your machine keylogger is probably the least of your worries.

[@jaagup]

The keyloggers were bigger issue back in the day when it was implemented. When people logged to runescape in schools.

[@LordSadCat]

Keyloggers for just Runescape now take pics of the screen when you click them so doesn't matter.

[@stunts1337]

with 2 factor auth being on my phone the bank pin seems a lot less necessary these days

I don't play OSRS but seeing a Soup vid again is good. Brings me back to the bondwaster days.

[@TheScreamingIdiot]

It's not really an 'essential' plugin that I can't live without. But Fashion Scape is a plugin that lets you look like you're wearing your fanciest fashion, while you're actually wearing real gear. Kinda like a transmog/glamor system from other MMOs. I also really love the Banked xp plugin and Wasted Bank Space plugin. and last honorable mention, 'Bot Detector' because sometimes your own eyes aren't keen enough, and it can feel a bit gratifying if you suspect someone of being a bot, and have the plugin tell you that you might be onto something.

[@FollowRevolutionNine]

Does Jagex even ban bots these days? I see so many bots when chopping logs. What's the point of the Bot Detector plugin?

[@pebbles6247]

one really underrated one is custom menu swaps. theres a few things i like to use it for. first is to prioritize certain npcs over others, for example if youre doing commander zilyana you can make it so you will always left click her, even if starlight is right on top of her. under custom swaps you would type this attack,commander zilyana *,attack,starlight* the other thing i use it for is to remove certain menu options. As an avid clue scroll enjoyer its very annoying misclicking on things like trees when trying to click on the tile i need to dig at. under custom hides you would type things like this Chop down,Tree Chop down,Oak tree Pick,Flax Pick,Onion Swim,River

[@originofsin2605]

for the stretched mode thing I just use resizable classic layout, yes tehre's more mouse dragging, but I feel like I see much more of the game. The classic fixed layout even in stretched mode makes the game too small for me, and makes it way more pixelated which hurts my eyes

[@adrielwilson4563]

So true, exactly for me aswell

[@n0steeze]

No clue why this is a plugin Soup "would die for". The benefit of fixed mode is less distance for your cursor to travel. By making it fullscreen that benefit is gone, and you have absolutely no reason to not use the resizeable fullscreen mode, which doesn't have the map/inv/chat taking up 50% of your screen. Perfect example of "old habits die hard".

[@ocean_0602]

​@@n0steeze I used to agree and play solely on resizeable fullscreen, but after recently swapping back and forth I found that fullscreen stretched fixed mode has a definite benefit. The icons in your interface scale to become larger, making clicking much easier throughout the UI. Sure the cursor has to travel farther but on a larger monitor it's less distance than on resizable. On fixed I found it easier to swap prayers or do gear swaps since the icons are huge, and just requires you to move your mouse to the right of the game screen, rather than to the bottom right corner towards a smaller interface.

When you learn to use the menu entry swapper functions, for world objects, npcs, inventory, some spells. The game just becomes so much easier. You can also use the bank tabs, inventory tags and bank bank layout generator plugins to quickly set and load any setup for any occassion. I have a tab for vorkath, a tab for sepulchre, you name it. Each has my worn equipment and inventory set up ready to withdraw, equip and go.

A ton of these are useful but another one that I've used for a long time now. It's call "Don't eat it" and it sets all items to use only so you don't accidently eat, drink, or wear anything that you don't mean to. It can be very useful for quests that require you to turn in a food item to an npc and you are worried about misclicking it or something if you don't trust yourself enough.
