Game Jam (November 2024)

A Game Jam took place from 11 November to 21 November 2024, giving Jagex Moderators the opportunity to work on the aspects of the game they are passionate about. The updates and changes worked on during the Game Jam are not guaranteed to be released. This is the first Game Jam since the 2019 one to last two weeks, which will become the standard going forward.

Mod Giragast	Text effects in dialogue boxes	Adding the ability to animate text in dialogue boxes, including progressive scrolling, animations and the use of multiple colours.	Unreleased

Mod Shrike	General quests quality of life work	Asking for feedback about any QOL fixes and improvements to existing quests.	Released
Mod Sponge	Farming quality of life work	Adding a new grapevine seed for standard grapes to make them available to mid-level players. Consequently, current grapevine seeds for god grapes have been renamed to avoid confusion.	Released
		Increased experience for harvesting/checking health of plants.
		Increasing the amount of herbs received at lower levels.
		Moving the flower harvester perks to the lower levels and adding a different perk to replace them at the higher levels.
		Adding different seeds to the drop tables of certain monsters.
		Making the frames for the grapevines a one-time build (with the option to clear them if desired), rather than requiring reconstruction each time seeds are planted.
		Improvements in the distribution of god grape types when harvesting.
		Replacing the Apprentice Farmer reward with another perk that increases the chance of receiving animals as drops. The ability to plant a fourth spirit tree would automatically unlock at level 114 Farming.
	Effects no longer lost on death	Making the effects of incense sticks and prayer powders no longer lost upon death by default. Since it becomes redundant, a new effect has been created to replace Everlasting Incense.
Mod Stu Mod Breezy	Fletching retiering	Continuation of the work started in the previous Game Jam. Includes new levels of Ranged equipment, which match the Woodcutting level required to cut the logs.	Unreleased
	Eternal magic tree mechanics for other trees	Adapting the new mechanics introduced with eternal magic trees, including the timer, Perfect Cuts, and Lumberjack's Intuition, to lower-level trees.
