Can Opener

Adds buttons for items that can be opened, learned, etc.

CanOpener

Adds buttons for items that can be opened, learned, etc. Very small and responsive.

Works on Retail and WoW: Forever from a single download — the addon detects which game it's running in and loads the right item list.

Features

  • Movable buttons (hold right click and drag)
  • Automatically adds items as they get looted
  • Hides in combat
  • Character-specific settings
  • Lightweight, low memory footprint
  • Option to hide items with a level requirement you don't meet yet
  • Hides one-time items (e.g. profession knowledge) once you've already used them
  • Hides lockboxes unless your character can open them (Pick Lock or Skeleton Pinkie), with an option to always show them
  • Single-button mode: show one item at a time
  • Ignore list for specific items — Shift + right click a button to ignore it
  • In-game settings panel (Escape → Options → AddOns → CanOpener) with an Ignore List page

Supported Game Versions

  • World of Warcraft: Retail (12.x)
  • World of Warcraft: Forever (1.60.x) — includes Forever-only openables; Retail-only options (like Rousing elements) are hidden automatically
