RunestoneMMO

The shared foundation everything else is built on.

RunestoneCore is the central engine of the suite. It provides the shared services, registries, event bridges, and data layer that every other module depends on. Rather than each plugin managing its own isolated state, they all communicate through Core — keeping the system connected and consistent.

Core handles things like the player data foundation, shared configuration, cross-module service access, the starter kit system, the Login Hub backbone, daily rewards, and the live world runtime that ties the realm together.

Professions, progression, and long-term advancement.

RunestoneSkills is the professions and leveling module. It gives players a structured path of growth across 13 professions — Mining, Forestry, Fishing, Smithing, Exploration, Farming, Cooking, Foraging, Hunting, Combat, and more — each with its own XP curve, milestones, and level-locked rewards.

The module is config-driven, meaning profession behaviour, XP rates, and unlock thresholds can be tuned without code changes. It feeds progression data back into Core so other systems can react to a player's skill level.

Custom damage, mob scaling, and combat progression.

RunestoneCombat replaces vanilla combat with a typed damage model that accounts for weapon identity, armour scaling, critical hits, dodge, parry, and guard reduction. Mobs are scaled through combat profiles so danger feels meaningful at different stages of progression.

The module also owns combat XP, feeding into the Combat profession in RunestoneSkills, and lays the groundwork for combat abilities and combos as the system continues to expand.

Stamina, movement pacing, and survival pressure.

RunestoneStamina adds a stamina layer to player movement and actions. Sprinting, mining, attacking, swimming, and jumping all draw from a stamina pool. When stamina runs low, movement slows; when it hits zero, the player enters an exhausted state with further penalties.

Recovery, drain rates, and thresholds are all configurable. The module integrates with RunestoneSkills so that progression can reduce stamina costs and improve recovery over time.

NPC dialogue, quests, and shops — the realm's living cast.

RunestoneNPCs is the NPC gameplay layer. It works alongside Citizens (which handles the physical NPC entity) to attach MMO behaviour: dialogue packages, quest offers, quest state tracking, turn-ins, rewards, and NPC shops.

Quest state is tracked per-player and persists across sessions. Dialogue adapts based on where a player is in a questline, making NPCs feel like real parts of the world rather than static menus.

The player navigation hub and utility access layer.

RunestoneHub owns the Login Hub experience and the Hub Compass — the in-game menu system players use to navigate the realm's most important systems. It provides access to warps, banks, markets, the auction house, quest info, and the plot marketplace without requiring players to memorise commands.

The Hub is the first thing players see when they log in, making it the gateway to the rest of the Runestone Vale experience.

Staff-facing control panel for managing the realm.

RunestoneAdminTool gives server staff a structured, menu-driven interface for managing Runestone Vale without relying on raw commands for every task. It provides access to player management, economy tools, NPC workflows, system utilities, and module reload controls.

The tool is designed as an orchestration layer — it does not own backend authority itself, but gives staff clean, safe access to the systems that do.
