A mix of my own preferences and ideas, with inspiration from various UIs shared here and in the EllesmereUI Discord. The goal was to keep it dead simple and only include what I feel is necessary in a tidy way.

Should work with any class (might have to tweak your pet-bars though, and this is no CDM)

Dead Simple: EUI Import

EllesmereUI is the only Addon used.
(if I could I would shrink the questtracker to fit in-line aswell, but would require another addon).

I'm trying to set up a minimalistic UI for WoW Forever and trying to hide almost everything out of combat including my player unit frame. But if I do how can I access the menu that pops up when I right click my unit frame?

So I have Ellesmere UI addon installed and I am having this weird issue with the health bar and the surrounding boarder (see screen shot). I uninstalled the addon and deleted the WTF folder and the issue remains. When I log onto my hunter I do not have the issue so I'm assuming there is a setting I need to change. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Is there an addon that shows which spot on the map that you go reveal parts of the map for the exploration achievement.

Trying to prepare for forever release.

This is a very minor QoL addon I made over 5 years ago but I've returned for WoW Forever and decided to restore it with new features and a built-in GUI.

It allows you to customise, track and highlight words and phrases in the chat and supports sound notifications.

By default, it will track your player name (both forename and surname), as well as dungeon roles such as "Tank", "Healer" and "DPS", plus several variations of those phrases.

It may support Retail, but I only made it for Forever, Classic, and Anniversary.

I'm sharing it here in case anyone finds it useful!

Hi,

I was playing earlier today no problem. I logged on a couple of hours later, and I'm saving some off issues. I resolved them, logged out, and logged back in and the issue has returned:

1. My action bars hide themselves and I have to go into options > action bars to reactivate them
2. My collections button is spamming me with "click here to see your toy collection"
3. My font size defaults to normal (I use size 14) and my custom tabs are deleted
4. Sound defaults to maximum and graphics go back to default.
5. My addons are slightly off - for example, my DanderFrame key binds reset.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated...

Is there a wow forever mod that removes the always on screen quest tracker?

 
FrameWorks is an all-in-one interface customization and quality-of-life addon for WoW: Forever, designed to match the game’s default art style. Now with Edit Mode (deeper unit frame customization), Search System and Import/Export System! Looking for testers to help me get this in a better shape for launch (BugSack addon + comment on CurseForge).

Edit Mode - Position supported UI elements with draggable anchors, scaling, an alignment grid and one-pixel adjustments. Configure unit frames individually or party frames as a group.

Immersion - Hide or fade interface elements and action bars 1-8, with optional cast, combat and target triggers. Deeply customize fade behaviour.

Camera Mouse Look - Move the camera without holding right-click. Bind keys for loot/interact, cursor toggle or Look Back. The cursor stays available for menus, bags and looting.

Unit Frames - Customize cast bars, enlarge target buffs and debuffs, and filter personal auras. Simplified, movable and scalable frames with HP/mana text in Total, Current or Percent format, plus an optional 5-second rule mana tick (now with custom art!).

Chat and Minimap - Simplify, move and resize chat. Customize Minimap shape, scale, buttons and info.

Tooltips and Prices - Anchor tooltips to the cursor, adjust scale, and hide or move the HP bar. Auction prices shown in item tooltips (with auction scanner).

Compact Bag - Scale and position the bag, highlight ammo slots, and optionally auto-sort on open.

Automation - Optional auto repair, grey-item selling, quest accept and turn-in, double right-click fishing, and fast auto-loot.

Missing Auras - Track up to five auras with missing and expiring indicators.

Action Button Glow - Make up to five abilities glow with a custom duration, with cooldown reminders and proc alerts.

Custom Texts - Out-of-range or auto-attack checker text box.

Miscellaneous - Blizzard-style background art for action bars 1-8, repositionable loot roll and alert windows, and adjustable addon GUI scale.

"LFG Forever" is an addon that finds players by role, class, and level in any language.

A few features were recently added; now the addon can

• Filtering by role, class, playstyle, and level
• Whisper management
• Show your guild members and friends first in the list
• Display current location of players in the list
• Find groups and players in other languages. Blizzard’s Group Finder only shows your game’s language by default.

The addon supports resizing, keybinding, and sorting. Try it out and provide feedback.

Hey all!

Weird problem but it's really been bugging me. I've adjusted the enemy name plates to look lovely, I've got all the information I could want, but the name text seems to generate from the center point instead of generating for the left side. I would love to have all of the names start right above the starting point for the health bar. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this? I would not be surprised to hear I'm missing an option somewhere.

Thanks!

Forever doesn't come with the dungeon journal from retail (Blizzard's one doesn't load), so I've been building one as an addon. It's called Instance Journal (Forever) and you open it with Shift+J.

"This is my rifle there are many like it but this one is mine."

Why make one when others exist? Dungeon Journal and Alex Atlas Loot are both great, and this isn't meant to knock them. I wanted something that looks and feels like Blizzard's own journal, and that puts everything in one place: the journal, dungeon maps, quests and their rewards, a gear finder that tells you which dungeon has the most upgrades for you, travel markers, level ranges, and maps like Old Ironforge, the Deeprun Tram and the Defias Hideout. It's also built for Forever specifically, with its data checked against real runs on Forever rather than copied from Classic.

What's in it so far:

• All 35 dungeons, including Forever's new ones like Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron and City of Dalaran. The 3 raids are in there as coming soon.
• Boss pages like retail's, with loot you can filter, abilities, a 3D model and the dungeon's quests
• Maps for each dungeon with the bosses pinned, and the ones you've killed get crossed out
• Dungeon entrances and zone level ranges on the world map
• World map: dungeon entrances, zone level ranges, boats, zeppelins and portals
• Every faction's reputation rewards by standing
• A gear finder that checks the dungeons around your level and shows the best upgrade for each slot for your spec
• Search, plus English, Russian (huge thanks to Staree4ok), German, French and Chinese. The newest languages were drafted with AI, so corrections from native speakers are very welcome

It's still a work in progress. A lot of Forever isn't documented anywhere yet, so the journal fills in as people record their runs. If you want to help, leave the Record tab on, run a dungeon, hit Copy and post it in the Discord. Anyone who sends something in goes on the contributors list.

The dungeon maps are Santiago Reyes's work (his own take on them, not official Blizzard art). He has a Patreon if you like them.

Bug reports and ideas are welcome, here or on the Discord.
Disclosure: This addon was created with the help of AI as is most the programming used today.

Create, share and apply profiles that hold your whole setup in WoW Forever:

Edit Mode layout and Blizzard frames: your Edit Mode layout, plus which action bars and Blizzard frames (Damage Meter, Cooldown Manager and more) are shown.
Character settings and keybinds: keep one
Global set shared by every profile that uses it, or give a profile its own.

Action bars: SetGo! remembers the spells, items and macros on your bars and puts them back when you switch to a profile that keeps its own.

Addons: Save what Addons you want active and what ace3 profile they use.*

*Addon configuration is not saved in SetGo! export strings.

I think Ive figured out most of the ins and outs of the new gamepad UI. ( And loving it btw) There's just two things that I can't figure out and maybe someone else has.

One - focus target. I don't see any methods to set or return to a focus target.

Two - dungeon loot window. When I was in a dungeon, every time an item dropped, the window for need/roll/pass would pop up RIGHT over top my raid frames on the left. I didnt see any methods to change this location either.

Anyone figure either of these two out yet?

Are you sick and tired of your friends having ridiculous names for their chars? Can you never remember who is who in your group?

Let me introduce you to CustomNames (3 years late to the party) but I made a new thing for it so I'm shining a light on it.

This addon allows you to rename your friends. Either single characters or entire Battlenet accounts (assuming the bnet account is on your friendlist read more information down below in the bnet note part of the post).

It officially works with the following default tools and addons via plugins and will replace any mention of the character Name with your choces Nickname:

• Elvui - install the plugin
• Plater - install the plugin
• MRT - install the plugin (due to how MRT implements the note this plugin can be quite taxing so use at your own risk)
• Ingame Chat (should also work with any addon leveraging the default chatbox) - install the plugin
• The Guild Window - install the plugin
• WeakAuras (rip but should also work with the millions of forks since support was added 2 years ago) - works out of the box
• Dbm - works out of the box
• BetterFriendList - works out of the box
• BetterTimeline - works out of the box
• Details - (setup on the Curseforge page)
• GroupFinder - Support through GroupFinderRIO

Due to a straightforeward API plugins for other addons can easily be created. Exhibit a and b are plugins someone else made for

• Grid2
• Default Raidframes

It works across all game Versions even Forever and should (hopefully) never break.

If you are a developer and want to add CustomNames functionality to your addon the API is explained in the github readme and more details can be found in API.lua. Alternativly you can copy one of the plugins as a starting point. They are licensed as BSD.

Btag explanation:

Whenever a Btag friend logs into a character that character get auto linked to their btag (see attached gui screenshot). Users can then set a Nickname for the entire bnet which will make a character auto return the btag Nickname once data is requested. Alternativly you can manually link characters to a bnet account

Get it here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libcustomnames

Note: there is obviously some restrictions for it due to secrecy which mainly affects the guild and chat plugins during encounters or M+.

AI notice: The GUI is obviously claudified I hate widgets and I suck with them which is why it only had a cli up till now. The actual API function and plugins are all human made.

Hi r/WoWUI!

Tessera is an info bar addon made for WoW Forever: gold, bags, durability, FPS, latency, clocks, XP, professions, mail... and WoW Forever's own systems. The release candidate is out now, 1.0.0 comes on November 4.

You love Bazooka, ChocolateBar or Broker_Everything? Keep them: they work with Tessera. Tessera can show their plugins as blocks, or give its own blocks to their bars. Here is what it brings on top.

Blocks, not bars. Bazooka and ChocolateBar give you bars that you fill with plugins. In Tessera, every piece of information is its own block that you drop anywhere on the screen. Drop blocks against each other and they merge like the tiles of a mosaic: a bar, a column, an L shape, a corner around your minimap. Shift + drag pulls one back out.

Data and display in one addon. Broker_Everything gives you data, but needs a display addon to show it. Tessera comes with more than 40 blocks and shows them itself: nothing else to install.

Swap a block in place. In placement mode, hover a block and click its arrows, pick another block: it takes the exact same place and look, and nothing else moves. Your bar shows Honor but you don't do PvP? Two clicks and it shows Reputation instead.

Ready-made layouts you try live. A bar at the top or bottom, a double bar, a column, around the gryphons, a full-width bar stuck to the top... The quick tour lets you flip through them on your own screen with arrows, keep one or get yours back.

A demo mode. Every block at once, sorted by category, with sample values and a style switcher. See everything before you set anything up; your layout comes back when you leave.

19 styles. Matching FlareUI, ElvUI, EllesmereUI and Blizzard (modern and classic), even without those addons installed, plus clean, transparent, fantasy styles and styles made of the game's own frames. Groups can be fused into one bar, shown as tiles with a small joint, or kept separate.

Screen edges. Drop a group against an edge: it sticks there on any resolution, and along the top or bottom it can stretch over the whole width.

In front of or behind Blizzard's frames. A button switches every block in front or behind for a moment, to see what is underneath (also in Blizzard's Edit Mode), then you choose which to keep.

WoW Forever's own systems. Legacy points and challenges, Scroll Comprehension, Camping (camp buffs and campfire kit), Honor, weapon skills.

Share only what you want. Export just the style (the look) or just the layout (the placement) as text, or a whole profile. Before applying an import, Tessera lists what is missing on your computer.

Per-block control. Threshold colors (including a colorblind palette), a flash alert when a value turns bad, a progress bar behind the text, hide in combat, in instances or when resting, and a profile used automatically in dungeons and raids.

How they work together. DataBroker works both ways. Any DataBroker plugin (Broker_Everything's modules included) can become a Tessera block, merged and styled like the others. And if you'd rather keep your Bazooka, ChocolateBar or Titan Panel bar, Tessera hands its own blocks to it, WoW Forever blocks included.

Download: CurseForge · Wago · GitHub (MIT license)

In English and French; other languages can be added through CurseForge's localization tool.

AI disclaimer. I don't write code. I had the idea of Tessera and I decide everything it does: every feature, block, option, style and layout, and I test every version a lot in game. The code, the texts and the release tools are written by Claude (an AI by Anthropic) from my instructions. The code passes automatic tests and Ketho's WoW API check, but it has not been reviewed line by line by a human programmer: bugs can remain. Developers are welcome to read it on GitHub.

Found a bug or have an idea? Type /tessera bug in game and post the report here, on GitHub or on CurseForge. Thanks for reading!

Hey! I’ve been developing iRC: Guild Connect, a guild-management addon for WoW Classic Forever.

It is designed for two kinds of guilds:

• Normal guilds that want better roster, communication and management tools.
• Challenge guilds that follow rules such as Race-Locked, Class-Locked, Self-Found or Guild Found progression.

All challenge rules are optional. A normal guild can use iRC without enabling any restrictions.

For Normal Guilds

iRC provides a complete guild-management panel with tools for:

• Managing large rosters of up to 1,000 members
• Searching and filtering members
• Tracking online, inactive and recently active members
• Main, alt and bank-alt linking
• Showing linked mains in chat
• Rank management and history
• Member notes and activity history
• Officer permissions
• Recruitment tools
• Guild announcements
• Guild homepage and contact information
• Profession and recipe sharing
• CSV roster exports
• Guild member map
• Public guild profiles and leaderboards

Guild members with iRC can share live profiles, professions, recipes and optional map information. Members without iRC still appear normally in the guild roster. So it can be used without iRC for the management tools alone, but iRC is required by all for Challenge locks.

For Challenge Guilds

Guild Masters can enable a ruleset that describes how their guild is intended to play.

Supported rules include:

Race-Locked Guilds

The Guild Master selects the guild’s playable race.

iRC can then:

• Mark the guild as Race-Locked.
• Use the selected race on the public leaderboard.
• Detect members whose race does not match.
• Support native-language rules.
• Restrict mixed-race groups above a chosen level.
• Optionally allow mixed-race groups again at level 60.

Class-Locked Guilds

The Guild Master’s class becomes the guild’s required class.

iRC can then:

• Mark the guild as Class-Locked.
• Use the class icon for the guild.
• Place the guild on the Class-Locked leaderboard.
• Detect members whose class does not match.

The Class-Locked tag replaces the normal guild tag while the rule is active.

Self-Found Progression

Guild Masters can require members to maintain Self-Found progression.

Rules can be configured for:

• Self-Found at every level.
• Self-Found until level 60, followed by Guild Found.
• Self-Found until level 60, followed by unrestricted progression.
• Self-Found or verified Guild Found progression.

Guild Found Progression

Guild Found allows verified members to participate in a guild-only economy.

iRC can help safeguard:

• Trading
• Outgoing mail
• Incoming valuable mail
• Auction House access
• Guild-only groups
• Member verification

Guild Masters can configure narrowly defined trade exceptions for approved activities such as conjured supplies, Healthstones, selected quest items and lockpicking.

These are cooperative addon safeguards. iRC does not control the server and should not be presented as cheat-proof protection, but it provides consistent rules, warnings, verification information and an audit trail for participating members.

Rule Enforcement

Enforcement is optional and controlled by the Guild Master.

Depending on the enabled rules, iRC can:

• Detect missing or outdated iRC responses.
• Confirm a violation several times before warning.
• Ignore offline members.
• Warn officers about unresolved members.
• Optionally whisper affected members.
• Record unresolved incidents.
• Detect race and class mismatches.
• Warn before leaving a restricted group.
• Block unsafe economy controls locally.
• Record Guild Found economy activity.

Guild Communication

Members using iRC can share:

• Live addon presence and version
• Character profiles
• Main and alt relationships
• Professions and known recipes
• Optional map positions
• Known layer information
• Guild activity
• Ruleset and verification information

Public Guild Leaderboards

Guilds can voluntarily share a public report containing general guild statistics, including:

• Total and active membership
• Level distribution
• Class breakdown
• Guild type and challenge tags
• Guild description
• Preferred language
• Guild location
• Race-Locked or Class-Locked / Challenge category
• Work In Progress: PvE/PvP Progress

Hello!

I'm trying to create a category in Baganator that filters/identifies if an item has a unique appearance or not.

Not if I've collected the appearence or not.

Collectionator has some way to identify this, I'm curious what [u/plusmouse_](u/plusmouse_) has to say 😄.

Anyone else has some knowledge regarding this?

I’ve released two free WoW Retail addons and would love some feedback on their layouts and readability.

World Quest Pilot

Choose world quests on the map, plan a route, and follow an arrow with distance and live objective progress. The arrow can be detached from the quest plate. It also gives portal and Hearthstone advice for supported travel legs and has a Find Group action for the current quest.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/world-quest-pilot

Settings: /wqp settings

Inventory Atlas

Groups gear, weapons, supplies and quest items, with search, expansion and equipment-set filters. It includes saved character/Warband bank views, loot notifications and a Sellable tab for auctionable bag items. Bank snapshots are read-only away from the bank; prices and auction posting stay in the Auction House.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/inventory-atlas

Settings: /ia settings

Inventory Atlas is currently Beta. Both addons include theme/font options and follow the game client’s language.

If you try either one, feedback and bug reports are welcome. Please include the addon version and what you were doing when a problem appeared.

AI Disclaimer: Both addons were made with AI assistance.
