What it does

Runic Ages adds skill leveling modeled on RuneScape, so progress in game activities is tracked as experience across separate skills. The mod is a client and server mod: the server and every player need it. Its only published loader is NeoForge, with a single game version, 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.1.2-hotfix-0.1, dated 2023-10-14. It requires Curios API, and Patchouli is optional.

What the author says

RuneScape was always one of my favorite MMOs so this is considered a sort of love-letter/passion project to one of my favorite childhood games WARNING: This mod is in experimental development and so unstable builds will be released in between stable versions. Do not expect unstable builds to be bug-free or complete!
