What changed since the preview?
Jagex initially named four approved plugins. The release also included Ground Items, Drop Log and Unified Logs, which were still in review in the preview. Look for the tool originally listed as Entity Highlighter under its release name, Highlighter.[1][5]
Which plugins should you try first?
- Combat and loot. Try Ground Items if you want to see valuable drops as they land. Use Drop Log if you want to review the entire trip and the cost of the supplies you used.
- Farming. Enable Farming Timer and make the clock visible on your minimap under Game Clock. The plugin needs the visible in-game time to work.
- Progression. Pick Agility Helper if you train on obstacle courses, or Unified Logs if you're working through collections and achievements.
If you prefer fewer notifications, start with one plugin and tune its filters. Jagex's official guidelines distinguish presenting information from automating player actions.[4][5]
How do you find and enable plugins in RuneScape 3?
- Open the RS Plugin Hub from the toolbox on the Ribbon. In the default modern layout, hover over Settings. You can add the icon to a custom Ribbon in its editor.
- Verify your email with mod.io if the Hub prompts you, then search for the plugin by name and install it.
- If the plugin is still off after installation, open Manage. Select the padlock, review any permissions it needs, and enable the plugin.
At launch, Jagex reported that some of the new plugins were missing from Browse. If you can't see the one you want, enter its full name in the Hub's search field.[3][5]

The next batch and Clue Trainer: what has Jagex confirmed?
In its 9 November update, Jagex scheduled batch 3 for 19 November 2026. Clue Trainer remained a candidate subject to review and testing. Its inclusion was not confirmed when this article was checked on 14 November. The table above covers plugins already released on 5 November.
The same update describes rare plugin-related crashes and an official reinstall workaround. If the game closes after you start plugins, see our troubleshooting section and the linked Jagex procedure.
When are plugins coming to Android and iOS?
Jagex plans to support plugins on mobile. Its official 26 October FAQ gave no release date. If you're having an issue with a specific desktop plugin, check its mod.io page for the developer's preferred way to report bugs.[2]
