Addon Release / Update [Addon] ForeverMail – Mail History, Shipping Lists & Mailbox Improvements for WoW Forever

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on an addon called ForeverMail, designed specifically for WoW Forever.

My goal was to make everyday mailbox management a little easier while keeping the familiar WoW interface.

Over time, the addon has grown quite a bit, and I thought I'd share it with the community.

Some of the main features:

  • Mail History – Keep track of sent and received mail, including attachments, with searchable history.
  • Shipping Lists – Create custom lists of items you frequently mail. One click automatically prepares matching items from your bags as attachments.
  • Item Browser – Search for items, filter by category, and add them to your shipping lists using drag and drop.
  • Custom Shipping List Icons – Choose WoW item icons, Lucide icons, or custom icons with different colors.
  • Recipient Picker – Quickly select your own characters, guild members, or friends.
  • Mailbox Improvements – Convenient buttons for opening or returning mail and clearing attachments.
  • Customizable Interface – Classic-inspired windows with adjustable sizes and positions.

Shipping Lists only prepare attachments. Mail is never sent automatically.

The addon currently supports English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.

The latest version is ForeverMail 1.4.10, which uses my own SharedForeverUI2 library. The library is a separate dependency, but if you install ForeverMail through the CurseForge client, it will be installed automatically

Download: Forever Mail CurseForge

I've included a few screenshots showing the interface and some of its features.

This is a personal project I've been developing in my spare time, and I'm always interested in hearing what other players think.

If you give it a try, I'd really appreciate your feedback, suggestions, or bug reports!

Thanks, and have fun in Azeroth!

— Pallando

A note about AI-assisted development

I also want to be transparent about how ForeverMail is developed.

I use AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, to help me write and improve code, investigate bugs, and work on translations and documentation.

The project itself, its features, design decisions, and in-game testing are driven by me. AI is a development tool that helps me turn my ideas into working features.

ForeverMail is a personal project that I continuously develop, test, and improve based on my own experience and community feedback.

I believe AI can be a valuable tool for independent addon developers, and I prefer to be open about using it.

Addon Release / Update Glowing Bars showcase – closing the beta with a look back

39 Upvotes

I made this showcase video of Glowing Bars to close the beta and look back on making the addon. It was a great time. I really enjoyed it, and it was good to feel again that this game can be played together as a community.

Special thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the addon, so I could keep polishing it to fit what you need. I'm really grateful!

There will be a bit more than a week of silence now, but after that I'm still here if you find a bug or a problem, or have a new idea. Feel free to leave a comment on the addon page or here.

Addon Release / Update OpenVoice: Proximity Voice Chat for World of Warcraft

87 Upvotes

OpenVoice is a proximity-based voice chat addon for World of Warcraft, inspired by the voice chat system used in GTA Roleplay.

The concept is simple: players can talk to each other naturally in the open world. The closer you are to someone, the louder you hear them. As you move away, their voice gets quieter until you can no longer hear them.

The addon uses WoW's built-in voice chat and works through a shared community or party-based setup, without requiring Discord or any external software.

This could be especially interesting for roleplay (RP), making conversations and encounters between players feel much more natural and immersive.

OpenVoice is still in the testing phase, and depending on how well it works, it could potentially become a feature for WoW Forever in the future.

If you'd like to give it a try with your friends, guild, or community, you can download it here:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/openvoice

Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are always welcome!

Addon Release / Update [Forever] ForeverRecipes for recipe collectors, profession leveling, and finding crafts worth making

Thumbnail
gallery
62 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I made ForeverRecipes for WoW Forever. It adds missing recipes, crafting estimates, and sorting options to Blizzard’s profession window. (I love games own UI, so I wanted to enhance it without replacing it)

Here’s what you can do with it:
- Want to collect every recipe? Enable Missing and use the source filters to find recipes you haven’t learned and see their known sources. Plenty still have an unknown source; I’ll update those as more information becomes available.
- Just want profession levels? Sort by Skill-up chance to put recipes with the highest estimated chance first.
- Want some gold back without dealing with the AH? Cost - vendor value compares crafting costs after selling the output directly to a vendor.
- Happy to sell your crafts on the AH? Cost - AH value compares crafting costs after their estimated auction value.
- Have an enchanter who can disenchant your crafts? Cost - DE value compares crafting costs after their expected disenchant value.
- Want to compare all three? Cost - best value uses the highest available vendor, AH, or DE return for each recipe.
- Looking for profit? AH profit and DE profit show which crafts have the highest estimated returns.
- Want estimates while browsing your bags? Item tooltips can show estimated craft cost and disenchant value, with separate switches for each.

Auctionator is optional. Without it, you can use the built-in scan prices button at the Auction House.

Of course, I can’t promise your crafts will sell. You still get to decide whether anyone actually wants another pair of those bracers :P

Download at: Curseforge

Hope you like it! Let me know if you find a wrong source, run into a problem, or have suggestions.

AI Disclaimer: I'm an experienced developer yet I still used AI assistance while coding the addon and preparing the showcase images. I review the code and take responsibility for its maintenance.

Looking for Addon Debuffs for non-heals

• Upvotes

I know they added some kind of healer only debuff sizing/control in either base options or Cooldown Manager (cant remember where off the top of my head). But I play melee dps and I legit cant see the itty bitty little icons in the very bottom corner of my frames.

I want to scale my frames down a bit for less screen clutter but cant make them any smaller until I can figure out how to make those little debuff icons more visible.

I am hoping to find an addon that does the like "Center Big Defensives" base game option but for debuffs that I can clear instead - like poisons / diseases for Ret for example.

Note - I use base UI as a personal preference, I don't want ElvUI or EllesmereUI or another one of those full UI overhaul ones.

Addon Release / Update [forever] BagSmith: Loot Helper, Disenchant Helper, and what else I’ve been working on before the Beta ends

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Hey everyone! With today being the last day of the Forever beta, I wanted to show off a couple of things I’ve been working on for BagSmith. It's come a long way over the last 20+ days.

Loot Helper: is for those moments when your bags are full and you’re trying to pick something up or turn in a quest. It helps you make room by combining stacks or showing you cheap items you could drop.

Disenchant Helper: lets you compare what gear is worth to a vendor, on the AH through Auctionator, or as enchanting materials. Then you can work through the gear disenchanting it one click at a time. The disenchant values are estimated and improve over time.

There’s also been quite a bit else added along the way: gear sets, a smaller Travel Mode, improvements to ilvl handling, and early work on controller support through a separate early-alpha plugin (not yet available).

For anyone seeing it for the first time, BagSmith lets you switch between a spreadsheet-style bag and a regular icon view. I started making it because I wanted an easier way to see what I was actually carrying beyond just a grid of item icons.

Thanks to everyone who’s tried it and sent feedback during the beta. If something feels awkward or you’ve got an idea, I’d love to hear it.

Addon Release / Update ChillM+ - Simple M+ Misc Addon

2 Upvotes

Hey there,

I'm a casual m+ player who likes to play with many alts and guildies. My point was automated m+ group message sent to guild chat for some reason. Then I added more stuff to check like alts, runlog, currencies, score and tp button for dungeons. Also I really like to add my key to mythic altar automatically. I have to say design is very simple cause I'm a backend developer so you will see a very blizzlike ui. LUA is new to me so AI helped me to develop.

All the details are in Curseforge page. Happy to share this and waiting for any feedback.

Looking for Addon is there a way to remove healing / damage received (self) for floating combat text?

Sorry it should say SCROLLING combat text, not floating**

I want to see Combo Points, Entering / Leaving Combat in my Scrolling Combat Text for example. But I can't have those without seeing Incoming Damage and Incoming Healing.

I've looked everywhere, and there's nothing in the CVar browser that AdvancedInterfaceOptions provide.

Addon Release / Update Want to restyle the Midnight boss timeline? I made AbilityFlow for you!

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi! I really liked how the Midnight boss timeline looks and animates, but it was hard to customize. So I built AbilityFlow: it keeps the game's look and animations and lets you restyle almost every part of it. It's a new addon, so tell me what's broken or missing!

What it does:

  • Vertical or horizontal bar with adjustable length and thickness, placed in Edit Mode
  • Live preview editor: click any part of the sample icon to change it
  • Appearance by timer: change how an ability looks as it comes close (countdown color and size, pulse, flash)
  • Glows: several types, and the optional Orbit: Media pack by MoONSHO7 (a separate addon, not mine) adds dozens more
  • Ready check, pull countdown and break timers on the bar
  • Optional: names, colors and timers from BigWigs or DBM, and reminders from Northern Sky Raid Tools
  • Profiles per character or per specialization, shareable as a text string

For Midnight (12.1.5).

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/abilityflow

Translations are welcome too: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/abilityflow/localization

AI Disclaimer: I built this with Claude Code in a long back-and-forth. The idea, the interface design, every decision about how it behaves and all the testing in the game are mine. Claude wrote most of the Lua from that, plus the tests.

Addon Release / Update Action Combat Mode has been updated for Forever. Lots of new additions in v5.

Thumbnail
gallery
285 Upvotes

This has been in development for close to 10 years, and at its core, transforms WoW from a traditional tab-targeting MMO into an action-combat game with Reticle Targeting, Click Casting, Mouse Look, and a ton of other features that help push the moment-to-moment gameplay of WoW towards that action-combat vision.

You can cycle through the GIFs in the gallery for visual explanations of all it does. It's grown into a very feature-rich addon over the years that I'm super proud of, and I'd love for you to give it a try!

You can get it here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/combat-mode
Or from Wago: https://addons.wago.io/addons/combat-mode

Disclaimer: ACM is not vibe-coded slop. It's been in development since 2017, with the two leading devs - myself and thericgames - having a combined 30 years of Software Engineering experience under our belts. Some of you may also recognize my username from previous contributions to the addon dev community, going all the way back to 2016, like HeyBarbaruivaUI. But the nature of Software Engineering has changed, and AI use has become inevitable, as it speeds up the process so much, so AI has been applied responsibly to the project with proper supervision within the last year, with the bulk of its work being done on the GUI. Rest assured, all the core features and 95% of what's here were coded by hand long before the first version of ChatGPT hit the market. And, like I said, 30+ years of SWE experience behind this project.

Forever Triad has been getting worked on for a little while. It is a minigame with the Triple Triad system from Final Fantasy but WoW themed. You earn cards through your achievements. Cards are account wide. You can use cards you earn to build a deck and challenge other players in raid while you're waiting for the RL to explain the boss.

You can download this now and load it up in beta and get your first card packs to open if you've earned any achievements!

Addon Release / Update [addon] Foreverything Warlock - Warlock add-on for WoW Forever

33 Upvotes

Greetings!

I have made a specialized add-on for the warlock class in World of Warcraft: Forever.

The features in this add-on are based on my own experience as a warlock main in classic with additional new features only for Forever.

To name a few features currently included are Soul shard cap with tidying and trimming, a buff upkeep bar that only appears when something is missing, a summon queue from 123 in chat, wand and crowd control timers, grimoire marking and filtering at demon trainers, account-wide action bar plans, and the macros it writes for you.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/foreverything-warlock

I plan to maintain this project and continue to develop new features as needed going into and after launch of Forever.
I am a developer who has self-tested all of the functionality currently, but there are probably many bugs or features yet to be found or included.

I would love feedback on features and bugs from users and testers.

Disclaimer: AI has been used as a tool in development of this project.

Hey guys,

I set up my interface on the stress test server last night.

However, I haven't been able to figure out how to handle the auras (with timers on the portrait) that appear on the player frame. I’d like to disable them, but I couldn't find an option for that in either Ellesmere or ClassicUI.

Do you know how to disable this option ?

Addon Release / Update GudaChat 2.0 is out: a clean chat addon, now with themes and quick whisper replies

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

GudaChat is back with a big update. If you haven't seen it before, it's a simple chat addon that removes the clutter from the default chat. The tabs, buttons and borders stay hidden and only show up when you move your mouse over the chat.

This update is mostly about how it looks, plus one feature I wanted for a long time.

What's new

  • 3 themes. Blizzard (looks like the game's own UI, this is the default), Modern Dark (flat and dark, uses your class colour) and Classic (the old GudaChat look). You can switch in the settings and it changes right away, no reload.
  • New settings window. Everything is split into clear pages now, and there's a small live preview so you can see your changes before you close it.
  • Quick reply for whispers. A small icon shows how many people whispered you. Hover it to see who wrote, click a name and answer in a small box without opening the chat. You can drag the box wherever you like. This is optional: if you don't want it, turn it off in Settings > Tabs & Alerts.
  • Hide chat text when you're not using it. Optional. The text fades out with the rest of the chat and comes back when you hover, type or get a new message.
  • Line spacing setting, if your chat feels too packed.
  • Works on WoW: Forever now, as well as Retail, MoP Classic, TBC Anniversary and Classic Era.

I also fixed a lot of small bugs, and the addon is lighter and faster than before.

Long ago, be for the great addon purge, i had a WA that would change the color of treasures on the mini map based on the name. i loved that for farming undermine and would like a substitute for it. being able to tell the difference in treasures at a glance is a huge QoL thing for me

I have asked around a few places and was pointed to an addon called coltrack. which does seem to still work but for Undermine but lacks the flexibility to addon new treasures to its highlight list.

Addon Release / Update Alty - A sophisticated alt tracker/statistics addon

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Curseforge link: Alty

I wanted a really in depth addon that tracks all my characters on my account.
First I started with a simple tracking window which had looted, kills, completed xp, and a few other trackable stats. It became clear this could be a small cool addon that tracks things which I would enjoy. The more I added the more hyped I was working on it. More and more features was added daily. It was made with efficiency in mind, and wanted it to work with as little resource as possible. As I my self dislike inefficient addons.

I hope a few will enjoy this addon and I will work on it as much as possible post launch.

Here's the features so far:

Characters

All alts in one list, grouped by ruleset: level, time played, kills, quests, deaths, gold, item level, rested XP and last seen online.

Rested XP is estimated while you’re logged out, with a zzz icon for alts resting in an inn or city.

Detailed stats for each character, with a graph of time per level and a gold graph.

Equipment, color coded items and item level for each alt.

Level pages to compare your alts at the same level, with medals for the fastest.

Classes & Races overview with a barchart for each class, race and body type.
- Little detail: If you have SD models, every race icon is for SD models. Likewise for HD models, every icon is for HD models.
- Body type in top played bar chart: play female most? Female race face icon is used as well as male face icon for most male played race.
- Hover to compare total playtime for each body type.

Professions & Crafting

Every alt’s professions, skill and recipes in one place.

Cooldown tracking.

Crafting orders: right click a recipe to craft it on another alt, in any amount.

Shopping list with the materials you need and which alts already have them.

Crafting list next to the profession window with a Craft button.

Crafted items are added to the mail automatically, with filled in name and items from the shopping list.

Shopping list at the Auction House that searches with a click, fills in the amount, so it's ready for purchase the right amount.

Inventory

Bags and bank for all alts and is searchable.

Item tooltips show which alts have the item.

Tooltips show if a BoE item or bag may be an upgrade for an alt.

Auctions

Active auctions for all alts, with time left.

Stats: sold, expired, cancelled, sell rate, gold earned, deposits lost and best sellers.

Reputations

All reputations across your alts, split by Horde and Alliance.

Speedrun

This is off by default, as I realize speedrunning is not for everyone. When it's off it doesn't track any speedrun related things, and doesn't run any speedrun code.

Tracks time per level, time in combat, moving and dead, zones and where your XP comes from.

Live split times, best times and a ghost race against your other alts.

Local leaderboard with valid and invalid runs and is only available when you have completed your first 1-10 run.

Hardcore Ready

Status, deaths, close calls and lowest health for Hardcore characters.

Bar chart for each death per level.

Ai disclaimer: This addon is written with Claude Opus 5.5. I made all the decisions, came up with the ideas which was added the way I wanted them. I made sure it was thoroughly tested by me with efficiency in mind. It uses minimal resources and only loads parts of the addon when needed. This post was written by me and I'm not a native english speaker, so if anything is off, that's probably why, sorry.

Development / WIP Stand and Heal (True One-Button Rotation Addon)

Thumbnail
youtube.com
0 Upvotes

I want to clarify that it doesn't just work for you, it works for your party! I just didn't want to include random people in a video. I tested it in an HoT run and I was able to just spam the button. I wanted to do more live testing in HoT since I only did one, but the event running ruined my plans. It was also a nightmare to make the video.

I tried making this video in Elwynn, and I could barely find any mobs, and when I did, either an infernal would drop on me, a ghoul would come kill me, or a player would 'help' me seeing that I was low health and not attacking the mob.

Scroll of Endless fortitude also caused my addon to bug out. This event really screwed me!

Even if a bug happens that doesn't let the addon's values populate, you can manually insert their max health so the addon can work with that number as their max health. You can just type in what the game displays to the left of that box.

Right when I finished the video, Lakeshire got overrun by ghouls lol.

For the healing based on %hps setting it uses the damage your party member is taking minus the HoT healing they're taking and their health to give a live reading of the health they are losing per second. So like

1000hp taking 100 dps but 50hps of healing will be read by the addon as -5%hps.

It can't read max health updates during combat, so it won't notice the increased health pool from a warrior using last stand.

I know I left my name visible in the video, but I'm not too worried since it's the last day of beta.

Also check out Stand and Hit!

Addon Release / Update [Addon update] FlashHUD 2.0.0 is ready for live — Ready for the Hunt🏹

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

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.

After a lot of development, in-game testing and player feedback, 2.0.0 is ready for live 4th nov! The screenshots above show the combat HUD, Mend Pet reminders, Tracking wheel, spell-rank checker and available themes.

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 configurable shot guides, latency display and five-second-rule cues.
  • Cooldown tracking: three customizable rows for spells, pet abilities and usable items, with separate specialization layouts.
  • PetHUD: health, Focus, happiness, feeding tools, food reminders and pet debuffs. Call, Dismiss and Revive share one button/keybind.
  • Mend Pet reminders: range and mana states, with customizable text, colours and icon tint.
  • Hunter indicators and alerts: Aspects, Hunter’s Mark, Summon Hawk, missing pet, low ammo, durability, Feign Death resisted and much more.
  • Smart Traps: separate countdowns for armed traps and active effects.
  • Action wheels: Tracking, Aspects and custom wheels for the actions you want within reach.
  • Spell-rank checking: warnings and action-button highlights for lower ranks left on your bars after training.
  • Everyday tools: optional auto-repair, grey-junk selling, ammo restocking with purchase confirmation, weapon-training hints and a duel countdown.
  • Statistics: recorded character, pet, profession, travel and other activity.
  • Your own layout: Quick or Advanced setup, saved profiles, sharing, six themes and individually selectable features.

Why give it a try?

If you keep looking around your screen for your pet’s health, shot timer, cooldowns and warnings, FlashHUD lets you bring those tools together wherever they’re easiest to follow.

You can keep it simple or build a fuller HUD around the features you use. The included Hunter layout gives you somewhere to start, and the settings let you make it your own.

Already using FlashHUD? Your saved settings and keybinds carry over—no reset needed.

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. 🙂
