Description

Blocky Dragons

Blocky Dragons adds iconic Elite and Rare dragon icons directly onto enemy nameplates, giving you an instant visual indicator of how dangerous your target is — no more guessing whether that mob is going to wreck your day.

What It Does

When you mouse over or engage any enemy, Blocky Dragons checks the unit classification and overlays a dragon icon on the nameplate:

  • Gold Icon — Elite enemies and World Bosses. These are the dangerous ones. Proceed with caution.
  • Silver Icon — Rare and Rare Elite enemies. Worth killing for loot, worth respecting in a fight.
  • No icon — Normal units. Nothing special here, move along.

The icon sits neatly to the right of the health bar on the nameplate and updates in real-time as you move through the world.

Features

  • Works on both hostile and friendly nameplates
  • Detects Elite, Rare Elite, Rare, and World Boss classifications
  • Fully adjustable icon size
  • Fully adjustable X and Y offset positioning so it fits exactly where you want it
  • Settings persist across sessions and characters
  • Minimap button for instant access to settings — drag it anywhere around the minimap
  • Slash commands: /blockydragons or /bd
  • Lightweight — no performance impact, event-driven updates only
  • Compatible with ElvUI

How To Use

Install the addon and log in. Dragon icons will appear automatically on Elite and Rare nameplates. Click the minimap button or type /blockydragons To open the settings panel, where you can toggle the icons on or off, adjust the size, and fine-tune the position to suit your UI layout.

Settings

  • Show Elite / Rare dragon icon — master toggle for the entire feature
  • Size — scale the icon from 20 to 120
  • Offset X — shift the icon left or right relative to the health bar
  • Offset Y — shift the icon up or down relative to the health bar

All changes apply instantly and save automatically.

Compatibility

Built for TBC Classic (2.5.x). Tested with and without ElvUI. Does not conflict with other nameplate addons as it attaches directly to the nameplate health bar frame rather than replacing the nameplate itself.

Commands

/blockydragons — Opens the settings panel

/bd — Short version of the above
