Anvil

The plugin

4 min read

Your clan stops screenshotting things

Bingo without tooling is a Discord channel full of screenshots and one poor officer checking them against a spreadsheet at midnight. The Anvil RuneLite plugin removes that job: it watches the game, credits the tiles, and files the proof.

It’s free and public on the RuneLite Plugin Hub — search Anvil — and it works against any Anvil site, whether someone else hosts it for you or you run it yourself.

What it credits without anyone asking

Proof that can’t be back-dated

Every automatic screenshot carries the plugin’s overlay — the player’s team and a UTC timestamp, rendered into the frame rather than added afterwards. Drop proofs capture two moments: the instant the item lands, and a couple of seconds later once loot has settled on the floor. Nobody has to trust a cropped image, and nobody has to argue about when it happened.

Things your clan will actually notice

Setting it up takes about three minutes

  1. In RuneLite: ConfigurationPlugin Hub → search Anvil → Install.
  2. Paste your clan’s Anvil address into Site URL.
  3. Press Sign in with Discord in the side panel and approve the code. That’s it — the accounts you play link themselves, alts included.

Members who can’t run RuneLite (mobile, the official client) link on the website instead by gaining a bit of XP in a random skill, so nobody is locked out of an event.

Every Anvil site serves its own screenshot-by-screenshot version of this at /guide/plugin, generated for that clan — the right URL, the right sign-in steps, the right screenshots. Point your members there rather than at this page.

Where the money comes in

The plugin is free, and so is the app behind it — Anvil is source-available, and a clan that wants to run its own server can. What you can pay me for is not doing that: a hosted clan site on your own subdomain, kept updated, backed up and monitored, with the Discord bot and weekly competitions already wired in.
