BazBags
A unified bag panel for World of Warcraft. All bags + the reagent bag in one window with two display modes, six auto-classified categories, custom categories, hidden categories, three ways to pin items, and a per-bag separation option.
BazBags replaces Blizzard's combined bag UI - the B key, the minimap bag icon, and any addon that calls the standard bag-toggle hooks all open BazBags instead.
Features
One Panel, Two Display Modes
- Bags mode (default) - collapsible sections per bag type, Blizzard-style
- Categories mode - thin dividers separating items by what they are
- Switch any time via Settings → BazBags → General Settings → Grouping → Mode
- Native ContainerFrameItemButtonTemplate slots - cooldown sweep, quality borders, drag/drop, click-to-use all behave exactly as Blizzard intends
Six Auto-Classified Default Categories
Items get auto-routed into one of six default categories based on item class and quality:
- Equipment - Weapons + Armor
- Consumables - potions, food, scrolls, etc.
- Trade Goods - Trade Goods + Recipes + Gems + Item Enhancements
- Quest Items
- Junk - anything Poor (grey) quality
- Other - catch-all
The classifier looks up by internal key, not display name - so renaming a default category never breaks the auto-routing.
Per-Category Editing
A dedicated Categories sub-page (Settings → BazBags → Categories) lets you:
- Rename any category
- Reorder via a 1-200 range slider (defaults are spaced by 10 so custom categories can slot in between)
- Hide categories from the bag panel - items still classify but the divider/grid is suppressed
- Delete with sensible fallback - items return to the auto-classifier
- Pin items to specific categories (overrides the classifier)
- Create custom categories for any organisation scheme
Three Ways to Pin Items
Pick whichever fits the situation - all three update the same shared list of pins:
- Shift+right-click any bag item → MenuUtil context menu listing every category, with current pin highlighted in gold and an Unpin entry
- Categorize mode (middle-click portrait or
/bbg categorize) - gold "+" drop slots appear at the end of every category's grid; pick up an item, click a slot, pinned
- Settings page - paste an item ID or shift-click an item link from chat into the input box
Hidden Categories
Toggle Hide on any category to suppress it entirely from the bag panel. Items still occupy real bag slots - hiding is a display preference, not a delete. Useful for stashing junk or items you want out of view. Hidden categories surface during Categorize mode (with a "(hidden)" tag) so you can pin items to them.
Per-Bag Sections
The "Separate Each Bag" toggle (Bags mode only) renders one thin-divider section per equipped bag - Backpack, Bag 1, Bag 2, ..., Reagent Bag - each labelled with the equipped bag's actual name in grey:
Backpack
Bag 1 [Wildercloth Bag]
Bag 2 [Reaver's Reagent Pouch]
Same divider style Categories mode uses, with click-to-collapse on each.
Categorize Mode
Middle-click the bag's portrait icon to enter Categorize mode:
- Every category divider shows up - including empty + hidden categories
- Each category gets a gold "+" drop slot at the end of its grid
- Pick up + drop items to pin them
- Middle-click again to exit
State is in-memory only - every fresh /reload starts in normal mode. /bbg categorize is the slash equivalent for users without a middle-button mouse.
Three-Button Portrait Icon
| Click |
Action |
| Left-click |
Sort (C_Container.SortBags) |
| Middle-click |
Toggle Categorize mode |
| Right-click |
Bag-change popup |
Hover the portrait for a tooltip listing all three.
Search
A search box at the top-left filters every bag at once - type a partial name, item type ("potion"), quality ("epic"), or any tooltip-text fragment and non-matches dim. Uses Blizzard's BagSearchBoxTemplate so it behaves identically to the default UI.
Money & Currency
- Inline gold display next to the search bar (Gold Only toggle to hide silver/copper at high totals)
- Tracked-currency strip at the bottom (green border) with left/center/right alignment
- Removes Blizzard's Show on Backpack cap - track as many currencies as you like and they pack into multiple rows automatically
Layout Customization
- Columns (4-20)
- Max Rows (3-30) - panel scrolls past the cap, or grow with content
- Background Opacity (0-100%)
- Frame Strata (Low / Medium / High / Dialog)
- Hide Empty Slots (Bags mode)
- Use Default Title (BazBags vs Combined Backpack)
- Top-anchored frame - resizes grow downward, not from the centre, so the title bar / portrait stays put when toggling Categorize mode
Bag-Change Popup
Right-click the portrait → small popup with one button per equipped bag slot. Drag a bag from inventory onto a slot to equip it; drag the slot icon off to unequip. Mirrors Blizzard's character-pane Bags tab, just one click closer.
Profiles
Per-character profiles via BazCore. Use different defaults per character:
- A crafter alt with Categories mode + Hide Junk + tall Max Rows
- A leveling alt with Bags mode + Hide Empty + compact Max Rows
Each character's profile travels with that character automatically.
Slash Commands
