AuraBars - Custom Buff and Debuff Tracking Addon for World of Warcraft

Will break with 12.0.5 API changes

Advanced Buff and Debuff Tracking with Customizable Display

Features

Five Independent AuraBars

Each bar can be configured independently to display different aura types with precise filtering options.

Advanced Filtering System

Blizzard API Filters - Query helpful (buffs), harmful (debuffs), player-cast, raid-relevant, cancelable, and Maw auras
Special Filters - Pre-combat filter, permanent aura filter, consumable filter
Aura Groups - Create custom spell ID groups and filter to show only or exclude specific auras
Weapon Enchants - Toggle display of temporary weapon enchant auras

Customization Options

Access the options panel via:

ESC → Interface → AddOns → AuraTracker

Each bar can be configured independently:

Enable/Disable Toggle - Split Buffs and Debuffs into up to 5 bars (let me know if you need more)
Combat Visibility - Option to show bars only when in combat
Tooltips - Optional tooltip display on hover
Size Control - Adjustable icon size
Layout - Configure columns and grow direction
Positioning - X/Y offset controls with anchor point selection
Background Display - To see which area auras may cover, while adjusting position and layout

Blizzard BuffFrame Control

Option to hide the default Blizzard buff frame for a cleaner UI.

Important Note - WoW Midnight Restrictions

Due to restrictions in World of Warcraft (introduced in patch 12.0), addons cannot access aura information during restricted content such as combat or Mythic+ dungeons.

To work around this limitation, AuraTracker:

Caches aura information obtained before entering restricted content
Continues displaying long-duration buffs (consumables, raid buffs, etc.) that were active before combat
Uses Blizzard's built-in filtering system to query available aura data

This means the addon works best for tracking pre-applied buffs and will have limited functionality for tracking combat-specific debuffs or short-duration effects during active combat in Mythic+ or similar content.
