WoW Forever Addon Restrictions
Yes, addons are allowed in WoW Forever, but combat addons lost what they used to read. Forever took the addon rules of Midnight: addons may change how the interface looks and where things sit, but they cannot read live combat numbers or make decisions for you. Here is what is hidden, what stays readable and which addons that hits.
What Blizzard said
At the developer Q&A of September 17: Forever takes the modern addon approach with the restrictions of Midnight. Addons that customise the interface stay allowed.
AnnouncedIn an interview: addons that do the math for you will not be available in Forever.
AnnouncedThe add-on policy Blizzard published for World of Warcraft says every add-on must be free of charge: no premium versions with paid features, no fee for the download and no fee for services tied to an add-on. We found no separate statement from Blizzard about paid add-ons in Forever. Blizzard forums: UI Add-On Development Policy
Confirmed
Readable in combat
Hidden from addons
When the rules kick in
The client knows states in which addons may do less: in combat, in a boss encounter, in challenges, in PvP matches, on certain maps and in chat.
What this hits
These addons cannot work the way they did in Retail or Classic:
What keeps working
Boss mods, nameplates, bags, maps and quest helpers, full UI suites. They work with what stays readable.
What there is instead
Fixed and still open
Fixed with build 70009 (September 24): settings that were not saved and secure snippets for click casting and bars.
BetaOpen on September 26: a crash when opening an addon dropdown in the settings, and a report about bar paging by macro conditions.

FAQ
Are combat addons banned in WoW Forever?
Addons cannot read the combat log, and current health, power and exact threat numbers are hidden from them. Boss mods, nameplates and interface addons still run, because they work with what stays readable.
Does Details work in WoW Forever?
Yes, Details has a Forever version since October 6. Like every meter in Forever it reads Blizzard's own damage meter, because the combat log is closed to addons.
Can addons still show threat in WoW Forever?
They can show whether you have aggro, because the threat state stays readable. Exact threat numbers are hidden in combat. Nameplate threat colors and the built-in Aggro Display are the tools for tanks.
Will WeakAuras come back to WoW Forever?
Nothing says so. The WeakAuras team spoke about Midnight, not about Forever, and there is no Forever version. The forks ForeverAuras and M33kAuras run inside the same rules.
Are paid addons allowed in WoW Forever?
Blizzard's published add-on policy says no. Every add-on must be free of charge, with no premium versions, no fee for the download and no fee for services tied to an add-on. That policy covers World of Warcraft in general. We found no separate statement from Blizzard about paid add-ons in Forever, and players are still arguing about how the policy applies to paid leveling guides. We do not call any named addon a violation. The Zygor Guides and RestedXP pages say what each of them sells.
As of Oct 24, 2026. Every addon
