How to Use World of Addons
To install a new addon, copy & paste an addon's URL from your browser into World of Addons and hit enter!
World of Addons can install any addon from the following sites.
Examples of addon URLs from CurseForge and WoWInterface:
| Host | Addon | Addon URL |
|---|---|---|
| CurseForge | Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) | https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/deadly-boss-mods |
| CurseForge | WeakAuras 2 | https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2 |
| WoWInterface | Details! Damage Meter | https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info23056-DetailsDamageMeter.html |
| WoWInterface | Leatrix Plus | https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info18739-LeatrixPlus.html |
We are planning to add support for others. Pull requests are welcome!
- In
Settingsensure path to WoW addon folder is set correctly. Example screenshot:
World of Addons stores a record of all installed in <Home Directory>\<username>\WorldOfAddons\addons.json.
On Windows this is C:\Users\<username>\WorldOfAddons\addons.json.
On Linux this is /home/<username>/WorldOfAddons/addons.json.
For example, if Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) is installed then addons.json will contain something similar to the following.
"deadly-boss-mods": { "displayName": "Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)", "name": "deadly-boss-mods", "version": "8.0.17", "host": "curseforge", "url": "https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/deadly-boss-mods", "authors": [ "mysticalos", "Tandanu", "DBM_Build", "Elnarfim", "Mini_Dragon", "Arta88", "Mave99", "nbluewiz", "oscarucb", "TOM_RUS", "SmoothMcGroove" ], "status": "INSTALLED", "subdirs": [ "DBM-Azeroth-BfA", "DBM-Brawlers", "DBM-Core", "DBM-CrucibleofStorms", "DBM-DefaultSkin", "DBM-DMF", "DBM-GUI", "DBM-Party-BfA", "DBM-StatusBarTimers", "DBM-Uldir", "DBM-WorldEvents", "DBM-ZuldazarRaid" ] }
You can export addons.json across multiple computers with World of Warcraft and World of Addons installed to synchronize or backup installed addons.
