OnlyOres

Mine a node and OnlyOres remembers it: pins on your world map and minimap, a last-mined timer, and distance to nearby veins.

Made for World of Warcraft: Forever.

OnlyOres remembers every ore node you mine and puts it on your map, so you can build your own mining routes and see how long ago each spot was last mined.

Features

  • Automatic recording. Mine a node and its spot is saved, with a short chat note the first time. No setup, no imports.
  • World map pins. Each saved spot shows the icon of the ore you last mined there. Hover to see the ore type, how long ago you last mined it, and your visits and taps.
  • Minimap rings. Nearby spots show as a ring in the ore's color. When the vein is up, the Find Minerals dot appears inside the ring, so you can tell at a glance whether it's there. Hover a ring for its distance and last-mined time.
  • Distance to the next vein. The 3 nearest spots out of minimap range stick to the minimap's edge with their distance in yards, like party member arrows. Works with a rotating or square minimap.
  • Shared spawn points. When the same spot rolls different ores (Tin/Silver, Iron/Gold), they stay on one pin, and its tooltip lists every ore you've seen there.
  • Built for multi-tap veins. Forever veins take 1-4 hits. Hitting the same vein again within 2 minutes counts as one visit.
  • Waypoints. Left-click a world map pin to set a waypoint to it.
  • Forget a spot. Shift + right-click a world map pin to remove that one spot.
  • Minimap button. Left-click to show or hide all pins, right-click for minimap pins only. Hover to see how many spots you've saved. Drag it anywhere around the minimap's edge.

Commands

Good to know

  • Only nodes you mine are recorded. OnlyOres doesn't scan the world, and no data leaves your game: no addon messages, no chat channels, no sharing.
  • Your data is saved per account, so all your characters build the same map.
  • Nothing is recorded inside dungeons and other instances, where the game gives no map position.
