BetterBags — Item Lock
A plugin for BetterBags that lets you lock items in your bags to prevent accidentally selling them at a vendor.
Requirements
- BetterBags
- World of Warcraft: Midnight (12.x)
Features
- Lock/unlock items with Alt+Click
- Padlock icon shown on locked items in the bag
- Sell prevention — right-clicking a locked item at a vendor is blocked with an error message
- Tooltip hint — hovering an item shows whether it is locked and how to toggle it
- Persistent — locked items are remembered across sessions via saved variables
Usage
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Lock an item | Alt+Click the item in your bag |
| Unlock an item | Alt+Click the item again |
| Sell prevention | Automatic — locked items cannot be right-clicked at a vendor |
A padlock icon appears in the top-left corner of any locked item. The item tooltip shows Alt+Click to lock or Alt+Click to unlock depending on its current state.
Installation
- Download and extract the addon folder
- Place
BetterBags_ItemLockinWorld of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/ - Make sure BetterBags is also installed
- Reload or launch the game
Notes
- Locking is based on item GUID where available, falling back to bag slot position. This means locks survive bag re-renders but may shift if items are moved manually and the GUID cannot be resolved.
- The disenchant prevention feature is not yet implemented.
