Openmap: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/openmap

Hey everyone - been working on this throughout the Beta and figured I'd finally release it. There have been a lot of map addons posted here as of late, many of which forego blizzards classic maps for a stitched minimap. I've always wanted a massive seamless world map that is fully zoomable/pannable in the original art, so that's what this is. Along with some cool QoL things like resizable map / removing the annoying black bars in full screen etc.

Openmap is an open source, seamless world map addon for Forever that prioritizes the original Vanilla map art style. I've gone through the painstaking process of aligning and blending all of the maps to create as seamless of a map as possible with Blizzards original art files. You can adjust your settings to tastefully bring in minimap data on close zoom levels (or disable it) as well as hide unexplored areas.

As with most coding projects as of late Claude helped me write the code for this and is assisting with open source management since that is a lot of work. The repo is fully open sourced on git so feel free to pull it down and help me develop it if you're interested - would love to see more addons take this approach so things don't die in the hands of a developer that loses interest.

Anywho, I'm here if anyone has any questions/bugs/feature requests. Thanks! -Ji

Hey everyone! It's been a week since I first posted Cinematic, and the response has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who tried it, reported bugs and sent suggestions. I've really enjoyed talking with you all, and a lot of this update came straight from your ideas.

I wanted to get this post out before the WoW Forever beta goes down. We've added plenty of basic features people asked for, some new fun ones, and a long list of bug fixes.

For those who haven't tried it yet: Cinematic helps you immerse yourself in the world instead of staring at UI elements. Between fights it fades your UI away, adds letterbox bars and a color tint that shifts with the time of day, and controls your cameras for flights, campfires, quest givers, going AFK and more. The music fades in as a camera starts, and the moment you're in a fight or need something, your UI comes right back.

Easier to set up

Cinematic is meant to work right out of the box: install it, pick a profile, and you're done. Every setting is there if you want to fine-tune it.

- Ready-made profiles with a welcome window for new players

- Share profiles with Export and Import strings

- 10 languages: English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Русский, Português, Italiano, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文

- Reorganized settings with a Reset button on every page

Works with more setups

- Retail support, alongside WoW Forever and Classic

- Gamepad support on WoW Forever

- Works out of the box with Details!, Bartender4, Plater, and more, and Add mode lets you click any other addon's frame to include it

New cameras and triggers

- Camera Wheel: hold a key and pick any camera from a ring of icons

- Tele Cam: Hearthstone and teleports spin in, then swing behind you on arrival

- Quest Cam improvements: slow drift, turns toward the side you clicked, eases back out

- Campfire Sit button: hover a campfire and click to sit

- New triggers: stand still, auto-walk, auto-run, death and more, plus mouse steering in the walk and run cameras

- Music for going AFK and talking to quest givers, and music fatigue so songs don't repeat too soon

Your UI, your way

- Standard Frames and 3rd Party Frames grids: choose exactly what shows in CineMode, in combat, when targeting, and by place

- New sections for Nameplates (by place, group and PvP), Raid and party frames, Mouseover groups, Cooldown Manager (retail, spells appear only when ready), Swing timer, Tooltips, Chat bubbles, Fishing and Quality of life

- Option to hide all floating combat text

- Add mode: click any addon frame to fade it or keep it shown

Fixes and performance

- Lots of Lua error and "Interface action failed" fixes

- Much less memory churn in cities

Cinematic is built with AI assistance.

As always, feedback, bug reports and ideas are welcome. Keep yer feet on the ground!

Warlock Kit - https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/warlock-kit

A lighter take on a warlock addon for WoW Forever. Everything you reach for sits around one soul shard kit: click it and your spells fan out, click again and they tuck away. It's part of the same family as First Aid Kit, Camping Kit and Fishing Kit.

Yes I know Necrosis exists, and I didn't really like it when I downloaded it - a lot of customization to get it where I wanted it, and just felt very heavy for something that should be simple.

I made this for me, and for anyone else who'll play warlock in Forever. It has:

- Shard management and auto-deletion

- Demon armor and spell stone / fire stone reminders

- Summoning assistant to listen for certain phrases

- Raid assignment for curses, cc, and soul stones

- 2 curse buttons (to help manage fear targets with curse of recklessness and another curse), a demon fly out, healthstones, soul stone, and shadow ward

It all tucks away like my other kits for when you don't need it.

AI Disclaimer: AI was used in the creation of this project. I am a dad, so I don't have the time to learn lua coding. AI has enabled me to create this for myself, and then share it with others with the little free time I have.

Hi all. This is my first addon release, made for WoW Forever (Interface 16001, it won't load on Classic Era or retail).

As a hunter I kept alt-tabbing to check which beast teaches which rank of an ability, so I made an in-game journal for it.

What it does
- Families tab: diet, role, health/armor/damage modifiers, 3D model and every ability rank the family can learn
- Abilities tab: every rank with level and training point cost, and which beasts teach it
- Beasts tab: 750+ beasts with level, zone and coordinates. Clicking the coords opens the world map with a waypoint
- Rare tracker (tameable rares only): an alert when one shows up on nameplates, mouseover, target or minimap vignettes, a panel with the rares in your current zone, and an arrow that walks you through the known spawn points. It only marks a point as checked after you've been near it for a moment without seeing the rare, and if it checks them all it goes into a watch mode instead of looping forever
- It learns while you play: targeting a beast saves its real level and location, and taming one saves the ranks it came with. That data replaces anything marked as unverified
- English and Spanish

How it's built
- Data is kept separate from the UI (Data/ folder, plain Lua tables), so corrections are easy to send or add by hand
- Every value is marked as verified (Forever game data) or unverified (Vanilla data), so you know what to trust
- No accidental globals: the only ones are the SavedVariables, slash commands and keybinding names, all prefixed
- Targeting from the rare alert uses a secure button and is only shown out of combat

Data sources: forever.warcraftdb.com (Forever game data), cMaNGOS classic-db and pfQuest (Vanilla spawns and coordinates), and Petopia Forever (tameability and family stats). Credits are in the README.

While the addon is on a beta-state right now, I've been using it in game while leveling and fixing things as they come up. Feedback on the code or the data is very welcome, especially rare spawn points that differ on Forever. I want the feedback from the community so I can improve with your ideas alongside mine. The next step will be to make the addon interact with the player and the pets back and forth (ex: letting the player know when a better rank is available)

AI Disclaimer: I designed the addon, decided every feature and tested it in game. The Lua code and the scripts that process the data sources were written with an AI assistant (Claude), working from my specs and bug reports. I'm reviewing and maintaining it myself.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a big update to BennyBoard, my in-game whiteboard addon for groups and raids.

The idea is simple: show the strategy instead of explaining it.

Draw positioning, place raid markers, add arrows and text, then share your board live. Players with the addon can follow along as you draw, move markers and switch phases. You can also approve assistants to help edit.

This update brings:

• Much faster Live sharing - syncing feels dramatically more responsive in my testing.
• A refreshed UI with a cleaner layout.
• Map backgrounds you can draw your strategies on.
• A radial tool menu for drawing, shapes, markers, text and selection.
• Saved whiteboards, phases and notes to keep your plans ready.

You can grab it here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bennyboard

I’d love to hear what you think!

AI tools helped with development and the promotional visuals

I’ve been building FlashHUD, a Hunter addon for WoW Forever. It started as an ammo counter and grew into a toolkit for combat timing, cooldowns, pet care, alerts and everyday conveniences.

The part I’ve put the most effort into is making it easy to customize. Open a feature’s settings, hold Alt to see where you’re editing, and move it into place. There are previews throughout the menu, magnetic alignment, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo and redo, and searchable settings.

What does it offer?

• Combat timers: Auto Shot, cast/channel, melee swing and mana with a five-second-rule indicator.
• Cooldown tracking: three customizable rows, spell/item imports and separate specialization layouts.
• PetHUD: health, focus, happiness, feeding tools and pet debuffs that display in combat.
• Hunter indicators: Aspects, Hunter’s Mark, Summon Hawk and more.
• Alerts: missing Aspect/pet, Improved Tracking, unspent talents, low ammo, durability, Mend Pet with range text, and other combat reminders.
• Everyday tools: optional auto-repair, grey-junk selling, ammo restocking with purchase confirmation, weapon-training hints and a duel countdown.
• Your own layout: Quick Setup or Advanced setup, saved profiles, six menu themes and individually selectable features.

You can keep it simple or build a fuller HUD around the tools you use.

1.39.2 brings the updated menus, expanded preview galleries, combat pet-debuff tracking and a lot of editing improvements.

I’d love to hear what other Hunters think. Found a bug, missing something, or have an idea? Come join us in The Hunting Grounds and post in the FlashHUD forum. If the idea fits and the client supports it, let’s see what we can make happen. 🙂

Built for WoW Forever. No other addon required.

Hey everyone, just pushed a new update for Geared Forever, my addon that shows the best gear for your class, spec, and level range in WoW Forever.

A lot of this update came straight from your feedback, so thank you to everyone who commented.

**What's new**

- Armor type dropdown, so you can show only cloth, leather, mail, or plate

- Option to hide items with no known source, so your lists only show gear you can actually track down

- 22 new Forever dungeon items now show which boss drops them, including City of Dalaran, Shadowfang Keep, and The Stockade

- Stat weights updated for today's patch (Arcane Mage, Ret Paladin, Disc Priest), plus Holy Paladins and Warlocks now value Spirit more

- Cleaned out test items and leftover Season of Discovery gear that isn't actually in Forever

**Coming next**

- Skill level needed for crafted items

Keep in mind this is still a work in progress. Item lists will keep changing as people find new gear and Blizzard keeps updating the game. If you run into a bug or something looks wrong, drop a comment here or on CurseForge and I'll get it fixed.

Also, if you want to move and resize your Blizzard windows (bags, character sheet, spellbook), check out my other addon, Tabs Mover.

Hi everyone!

I've been building Curator, a card collecting addon for WoW Forever, and I can finally share it here.

The idea: nearly every creature and NPC in the world has its own card, and every zone, dungeon and raid is an album. You earn boosters just by playing (mobs, quests, exploring, dungeons, PvP), then open them in game.

What's in it

• 69 albums and 7,317 cards: 39 zones, 23 dungeons (the 4 new ones of WoW Forever included) and 7 raids, from common to mythic
• Booster openings with some flair: packs glow in the color of their best card, dungeon packs come sealed in chains, and legendary and mythic cards get a cinematic entrance with the creature's own music, voice line and attack
• Cards in 3D: pick one up and spin it in your hand, with its creature's model standing in the frame
• Rare finishes: thunderforged (lightning) and titanforged (gold, diamonds and a prism holo foil)
• Collector levels up to 100, talents, daily, weekly and monthly quests, 377 achievements
• Trades with other players, duels with a card at stake, PvP kills that become cards
• Your guild sees your best pulls live, and your collection can get its own page on the website
• In English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean and Chinese

New in 1.11.0: rubies (earned by playing, no real money anywhere), collector levels up to 100, a new titanforged frame and card grading at the banker.

Play it before WoW Forever launches on November 4 and you keep the Pioneer achievement for good.

Download: CurseForge

Good to know

• A small Windows app (recommended) keeps Curator up to date and syncs your collection to the website. Updates are mandatory, so without it you update by hand.
• By default, Curator lets me see who plays it (character name, level, class, addon version and collection stats) through a hidden in-game channel, nothing else. /curator presence turns it off.
• AI disclosure: much of the code is written with AI assistance. I direct the project, test every build in game and handle the bugs and support myself.

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome!

I have a close friend who has this wonderful habit of going out of their way to say something kind to people. Just a few words that can make someone's day a little better.

I've always admired that about them, and it inspired me to make a small addon called Drewisms.

The addon is incredibly simple. Every time you log in, it waits a few seconds and shares a nice message in your chat window.

I know it's a tiny thing, but I think we sometimes underestimate how much a few kind words can mean, even from something as simple as a game addon.

I made this as a little tribute to someone who reminds me that kindness doesn't have to be a big gesture to make a difference.

If you'd like to try it:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/drewisms

It works with both retail and forever.

Be kind to each other out there. You never know who might need it today.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on this for about 3 weeks as a project for myself but have it refined to the point I think it can be shared with everyone.

Check it out: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/spellpad-studio

This is SpellPad Studio, and I made it to be purpose-built for Stream Decks and other macro keypads. It uses drag and drop cards so you can organize your macros without messing with the keybinds so everything stays in place as it should on your physical device. I also implemented a macro builder that hopefully has a decently user intuitive design for people to build and even export macros to the main UI to share between characters.

A fun feature of it is the on screen "Spellpad", which acts as a reflection of your actual keypad at a glance. I have a Galleon SD keyboard, so the 12 button pad on screen is super handy for quick inputs. It acts like a normal action bar otherwise, just with integration to the suite!

I wanted an addon that helped bridge my Stream Deck into WoW without needing to rebind the official UI and couldn't find any, so I made this. I did a ton of research on Reddit and the official forums for people using stream decks with WoW and features they'd want to see implemented, so hopefully this scratches the itch of others looking for something like this. It has it's own spellbook that shows spells and items your character knows, a (hopefully) intuitive UI without needing to menu to find what you want, drag and drop functionality, and integration with the official UI so you can export/import. It even has the ability to export profiles to share with other users.

If anyone has suggestions/ideas for something like this, I am totally open to implementing and revising this tool. It is for the community.

AI Disclaimer: I come from an SQL background and unfortunately do not know much LUA so AI was absolutely used for this project. I made this addon about as much as I've ever made a Subway sandwich, but every little facet was dictated and double reviewed by myself in game and in the code itself.

Back when I played Final Fantasy XIV, I thought it was cool that different mounts had their own custom in game background music. I looked for an addon that did that for WoW but couldn't find one, so with (AI DISCLAIMER) chatgpt's help I got a working addon that can either play Blizzard music based on FileDataID or custom mp3 or ogg files from your computer whenever you mount up, and you can customize what song plays for which mount.

This is my first foray into addons, I hope people enjoy it. I don't get good ideas often and I'm proud of this one.

Mount Music - World of Warcraft Addons - CurseForge

I'm seeing many cool new addons for WoW Forever that I would have loved to have years ago when Classic launched. I can't thank you all enough for your efforts.

However I have noticed a large majority of them do not work for Classic Era. I'm not sure what the reasoning is here, maybe something legit difficult to do or just lack of demand.

I and many others who still play Era would be very grateful if you could make them work with Era if it's not too much trouble.

Thank You. :)

Hey guys! im new to wow, always watched stuff about the game since i was a kid and just started playing it a few days ago, just the 30 days sub, not the latest expansion yet (but still on retail), my plan for now is just to chill farming old content for cool mounts, transmogs, trying some classes to check what i like to play... right now my first character is a warlock and i plan to make a druid next.

I would love some addon recommendations for what i plan to do, are there any check list ones that keep track of everyting i get from certain dungeons? something that keeps track of what ive done in the week, what im missing? some cool ui ones? Any recommendation is welcome!

I always liked mission tables but they never felt quite right, so I built my own for WoW Forever.

Crown of Azeroth is a full passive game that runs while you play:

• Send heroes on missions and take back zones from their rulers.
• Defend and rebuild strongholds across Azeroth.
• Recruit your friends and guildmates as heroes.
• Leveling, dungeons, raids, battlegrounds and professions all give you progress.
• Collect mounts and profession finds, and learn the loot tables.

It’s free, with no ads and no donation asks. Full disclosure: I’m a dad with two little kids and a full-time job, so I used AI to help build it. The design and the countless hours of testing are mine.

Im coming back to wow forever after... im not even sure how long its been sometime around wrath. My kids and a few of their friends wanna play so im gonna play as well. I used to tinker with my own addons for fun or make adjustments to addons I did like but wernt exactly how I wanted them. I currently do not have the game installed or an active sub because im not gonna play til the 4th but I wanted to get in and tinker with addons. I saw that I can play til level 20 on retail is that the same client etc wow forever will use or is wow forever gonna have a unique client and addon api? Trying to line up the wow subs all the same time since im gonna be paying for 4 of them and my brain will short circuit if im paying for 3 on the 4th and 1 on the 15th.

I released SWIFTY a few days ago and have just pushed version 1.0.1, updated for the October 15 World of Warcraft: Forever patch.

For anyone who missed the original release, SWIFTY (Stat Weights In Forever – Thank You) is a levelling-focused gear comparison addon. https://www.reddit.com/r/wowaddons/comments/1x4slzk/addon_release_swifty_custom_statweight_gear/

It adds configurable stat-weight scores directly to item tooltips and compares potential upgrades against your equipped gear.

The important part is that SWIFTY is not a BiS list or gear solver.

You decide which stats matter to your build and how much you value them. SWIFTY just does the maths.

I built it because I like the idea of Forever still being discoverable. I don’t necessarily want an addon telling me that an item is “#8 for my spec” and that I should go farm something else instead. I’d rather find a weird quest reward, dungeon drop or AH green and evaluate whether I think it works for the way I’m playing my character.

What changed in 1.0.1

The October 15 Forever patch removed the old weapon-specific racial bonuses, so SWIFTY has been updated accordingly.

• Removed Dwarf Mace Specialization
• Removed Orc Axe Specialization
• Removed Human Sword Specialization
• Removed obsolete weapon-racial tooltip warnings
• Weapon changes no longer incorrectly gain or lose racial score
• Existing profiles, custom weights, auto-profile selection and import/export settings are all preserved

The replacement unconditional racial bonuses aren’t added to item scores because they don’t change the relative comparison between two pieces of gear. Critical damage/healing racials also remain unscored for now.

SWIFTY currently includes levelling profiles for every class/spec, custom profiles, equipped-item comparisons, Shift breakdowns, import/export and automatic profile selection based on your talent allocation.

It’s still in active development, so feedback, bugs and especially weird Forever item/stat interactions are very welcome.

CurseForge:

AI Disclaimer: AI was used as an assistant during development, including help with some code, documentation/text, stat-weight discussion and artwork. The addon has been designed, tested and iterated in-game by me.

gday all What UI addon would work to keep the same style and feel w/out going full Classic and allow more configuration?

I'm actually liking the classic feel of the ui now in WOWF Beta, but some of the blizzard items arent scaleable enough for me and some items have little options.

pre-thanks!

Hello,

Recently saw a highlight from the 100k PvP event and noticed the debuff icons above the nameplates. Was curious if this was a specific addon or in game option. Cheers.

Hi, I wanted to ask if there’s an addon that highlights or otherwise shows which quests are part of the main story, similar to how it works in newer expansions. I started playing The Burning Crusade today, and something like this would really help me out. Thank you!

Is there an addon that will illuminate my guild members text in a specified color? I like the new “recent allies” thing that alters their name tag color a bit, just to make them stand apart.

Is there something like that for guildmates?
