WoW Forever Addons

Yes, most addons work in WoW Forever once they have a Forever build. Forever uses the modern addon rules of Midnight, so interface addons stay allowed and addons that calculate from live combat numbers do not. Here are 162 addons with their Forever status and date, the tools the game already has and how to install them.

The short answer

  • Forever uses Blizzard's modern addon rules, the same as Midnight. Addons that change the interface stay allowed, addons that calculate from live combat numbers do not.

    Announced
  • An addon needs a Forever version: interface 16001 or a file ending in _Camelot.toc. Classic Era addons do not simply load.

    Beta data
  • Edit Mode, a damage meter, a Cooldown Manager and a swing timer are built in.

    Beta data
  • There is no Blizzard boss timeline in Forever, so DBM or BigWigs stay the source for boss timers.

    Beta data
  • WeakAuras has no Forever version. Forks such as ForeverAuras run inside the same rules.

    Beta
  • Build 70009 of September 24 fixed the two bugs that broke most addons in the first week: settings that were not saved and click casting that failed.

FAQ

Are addons allowed in WoW Forever?

Yes. At the developer Q&A of September 17 Blizzard said that addons which customise the interface stay allowed. Only addons that do the math for you in combat are out, and the restrictions page shows what that means for each kind of addon.

What are the best addons for WoW Forever?

You need none to start. The game has Edit Mode, a damage meter, a Cooldown Manager and a swing timer built in. Most players add a boss mod (DBM or BigWigs) for dungeons and raids, a bag addon, Auctionator and a quest helper such as Questie.

Which addons no longer work in WoW Forever?

WeakAuras has no Forever version. Meters that read the combat log, like Skada and Recount, cannot work that way anymore, and threat meters lose their exact numbers in combat. Addons made for Classic Era need a rewrite for the modern interface.

Where is the addon folder of WoW Forever?

In the beta it is World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns. The folder name for the launch on November 4 is not confirmed yet. The install page has the details.

Is there a WeakAuras for WoW Forever?

Not from the WeakAuras team. ForeverAuras and M33kAuras are forks that run inside the same rules, and the built-in Cooldown Manager covers simple cooldown tracking for every class.

Does WoW Forever have a built-in damage meter?

Yes. Switch it on under Options, Advanced Options, Damage Meter and place its windows in Edit Mode. It shows damage, healing and actions.
