PlayedTheGame Toolbox

A lightweight, modular quality-of-life addon for World of Warcraft: Midnight (12.0+)

PlayedTheGame Toolbox is a collection of carefully crafted modules designed to enhance your gameplay experience without bloat. Built around proficiency, every module is written to be as lightweight as possible, avoiding unnecessary frame updates, event listeners, and memory allocations so the addon never gets in the way of your game performance. Each module is independent and can be enabled or disabled based on your preferences. The addon uses WoW's native Settings API and Edit Mode integration for a seamless, modern feel.

Modules

Auto Music Toggle

Automatically mutes in-game music when you enter instanced content so you can focus on voice chat, Discord calls, or your own playlist. Music is seamlessly restored when you return to the open world.

Supported content types: Delves · Dungeons · Raids · Battlegrounds · Arenas

Fast Loot

Tired of waiting for loot windows? Fast Loot automatically grabs all items the moment a loot window opens, making farming, dungeon runs, and world content feel snappier.

Interactions

A clean interface for WoW's soft-targeting system. Customize interact range, targeting arc, and visual indicators for enemies, friendlies, interactable objects, and game objects — all from one settings panel.

Direction Display

Shows Left and Right text indicators on screen for raid callouts, plus displays your current raid group number with odd/even parity. Perfect for encounters with directional mechanics or group-based assignments.

Features:

Large, clear Left/Right indicators
Raid group number with Odd/Even label
Party size display when not in a raid
Alerts when your group assignment changes
Full Edit Mode integration

Spec Reminder

Never forget to switch specs again. Spec Reminder prompts you to change your loadout when entering different content types, ensuring you're always prepared.

Configure loadouts for: Open World · Delves · Dungeons · Raids · Battlegrounds · Arena

GCD Bar

A visual Global Cooldown indicator that helps you track the GCD for smoother ability queuing. Particularly useful for classes with variable GCD lengths or when optimizing rotation timing.

Features:

Attach to your cast bar or position independently
Customizable width, height, and colors
Fill direction and fill mode options
Adjustable opacity for bar, background, and border
Optional remaining time text

Currency Tracker

Keep track of your seasonal currencies without constantly opening the currency tab. Displays your current amounts on screen with intelligent organization and warning colors when approaching caps.

Features:

Season Profiles: Core currencies (Valorstones, Crests) update each season
Expansion Profiles: Optional currencies (Kej, Resonance Crystals, Undercoin) persist across seasons
Warning colors when approaching currency caps
Location-based visibility controls
Multiple display modes (append, column before/after core)

AH Expansion Filter

Automatically applies the "Current Expansion Only" filter every time you open the Auction House. Small but saves a click every single time.

Cursor CDM

Attaches your Cooldown Manager and Tracked Buffs frames to your cursor so your key information follows your mouse. Optionally attach your Personal Resource Display too.

Features:

Per-spec profiles, different offsets and settings for each specialization
Independent enable, position offset, and frame layer for each frame
Copy settings to all specs with one click
Automatically migrates settings from the standalone CursorCDM addon

Where Are We Going?

When you accept a group invite through the Group Finder, a notification pops up reminding you what the group was actually listed for, because sometimes you queue and immediately forget.

Features:

Shows group title, activity name, and activity description
Configurable font size and text color
Optional background with adjustable opacity
Configurable auto-hide timer or keep it up permanently
Optional sound alert on join
Right-click to dismiss · Drag to reposition
