AutoOpenContainers

A World of Warcraft addon that automatically opens configured containers (bags, crates, boxes, etc.) as soon as they show up in your bags.

Features

Watches your bags and automatically uses (opens) any item on your configured container list.
Configurable list of container item IDs, managed from an in-game settings panel.
Add containers by typing an item ID or simply dragging the item from your bags onto the input box.
On a real login, shows a short countdown notification before the first scan, with options to run the scan immediately or disable auto-opening for the session.
Minimap button (via LibDataBroker/LibDBIcon) for quick access to the settings panel.
Optional login message toggle.

Installation

Download the latest release from the Releases page.
Extract the archive so that the AutoOpenContainers folder lives directly under your World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/ directory.
Restart the game (or reload the UI with /rl) and make sure the addon is enabled at the character select / AddOns screen.

Usage

/aoc — toggle the settings window.
/rl — reload the UI.

In the settings window:

Enter an item ID (or drag an item from your bags onto the box) and click Add.
The item will be scanned for in your bags and automatically used whenever it appears.
Click Remove next to an entry to stop auto-opening that container.

How it works

The addon listens for BAG_UPDATE_DELAYED events and scans all bag slots for any item ID on your watch list, using (opening) the first match it finds. On a fresh login, a short countdown is shown first so you have a chance to skip it or disable it for that session; on UI reloads and zone transitions, scanning is enabled immediately.
