Description
ElvUI Blitz Grid (4x2)
Adaptive, compact two-column ElvUI Raid 1 frames for BG Blitz and other small raids.
ElvUI Blitz Grid automatically adjusts the existing ElvUI Raid 1 layout when your raid has 6, 7, or 8 members. It uses the Blizzard secure raid-header system and leaves other raid sizes alone.
| Raid members | Raid 1 layout |
|---|---|
| 6 | 3 + 3 |
| 7 | 4 + 3 |
| 8 | 4 + 4 |
| Other sizes | Original ElvUI layout |
Setup
- Install and enable ElvUI (required).
- In ElvUI > UnitFrames > Raid 1, enable Raid 1 and use Raid-Wide Sorting with at least two columns.
- Keep the Raid 1 Max Group Size set to 10, if desired. Blitz Grid does not change that threshold.
- Open Esc > Options > AddOns > BlitzGrid4x2 to enable or disable the adaptive layout, turn login messages on/off, refresh, or print diagnostics.
The addon only changes the wrapping of a visible Raid 1 header in a real raid. ElvUI preview frames do not provide a valid raid roster. It works for six- to eight-player raids outside BG Blitz as well.
Commands
/bg42— open options/bg42 on//bg42 off— toggle the adaptive layout/bg42 refresh— request a layout recheck/bg42 status— print layout/header diagnostics/bg42 help— show available commands
Aliases include /e42 and /blitzgrid.
Notes
- Supports retail WoW 12.1.5.
- Requires ElvUI; no additional library installation.
- Combat-safe: protected header changes are deferred until combat ends.
- Restores previous header wrapping where possible when the adaptive layout stops applying.
- Does not modify ElvUI source files or create additional raid frames.
