Quick Start

Use the starter, install dependencies, and launch the dev server:

npx degit rpgjs/starter#v5 my-rpg-game
cd my-rpg-game
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173.

Choose MMORPG or standalone RPG

By default, the starter runs as a standalone RPG. This mode runs the client and server together in the browser and does not create a public multiplayer server. To run the client and authoritative server separately for an MMORPG, set RPG_TYPE=mmorpg:

RPG_TYPE=mmorpg npm run dev

On Windows, use cross-env:

npm install --save-dev cross-env
npx cross-env RPG_TYPE=mmorpg npm run dev
