February 22, 2013 - January 28, 2026
After nearly 13 years, the little applet that could... couldn't anymore.
On the morning of January 28, 2026, at 6:42 AM EST, Jagex quietly replaced the OSRS gamepack with a single JAR file that displays this image:
This repository archived 228 gamepacks over 193,851 commits, capturing every gamepack update from OSRS beta till the end of support.
gamepacks/ 228 JARs, revisions 1-235 (and one that's just an image)
jav_configs/ 51 launch configurations
world_list/ The final server list
The file osrs--1.jar isn't actually revision -1. There is no revision. The gamepack downloader just returned -1 because Jagex shipped a JAR that does nothing but show a farewell image.
The farewell image is base64 encoded directly into Base64ImageStore.class - the entire JAR is just 9 files and a goodbye.
Dates reflect when Jagex compiled each JAR, not when they were pushed live.
| Date | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Feb 22, 2013 | First gamepack built: osrs-1.jar |
| Oct 20, 2025 | Final real gamepack built: osrs-235.jar |
| Dec 2, 2025 | Farewell JAR compiled |
| Jan 28, 2026 | Farewell JAR pushed live, Legacy Java Client discontinued |

Thanks for the memories, old friend.
