Ace3World of Warcraft Addon Framework

A modular suite of libraries for building World of Warcraft addons. Pick the components you need.

Addon Structure

Give your addon a clean startup and shutdown flow, split it into modules, and add slash commands and chat output, so you can focus on features instead of boilerplate.

Events & Timers

React to what happens in the game, run code after a delay or on a repeat, and safely change existing game behavior without breaking other addons.

Persisting Data

Remember settings and data between sessions, with per-character or account-wide profiles your users can switch, copy and reset.

Configuration

Describe your settings once and get a full options panel and matching slash commands automatically, with no hand-built UI required.

Communication & Data

Talk to other copies of your addon across the group or guild, pack data into strings to send or store, and translate your interface into other languages.

Design & Presentation

Build custom windows and controls (buttons, sliders, trees, tabs and more) that recycle frames behind the scenes to keep your UI light.
