Due to the pruning of the access that many Addons have to game information, many well-known Addon developers have struggled in maintaining or updating their Addons for the Pre-Patch, while others have stopped development altogether. Below is a list of Addons that still receive spport, and will be working properly for the Midnight launch, and are also largely working in the Pre-Patch already. Thank you to all the Addon devs who keep going for us.

Before you go downloading a bunch of different Addons, we recommend you set up your base UI first. Blizzard has added a wide variety of improvements to the base UI, and many Addons you may think you cannot do without, are now available through the standard interface. Once you've set up your UI, we recommend thinking about which aspects or customization layers you would like to add, and then look for Addons that do those things, instead of downloading an entire suite's worth of Addons that you may not even need anymore.

It might even be worth it to see how far you can get without any additional Addons, at least while the Pre-Patch is lasting, and maybe you'll even enjoy not having to spend hours every Patch updating and reconfiguring your UI. Many Addons are still in development or are specifically aiming to launch with all their options for Midnight launch, so some of your favorites may not be available just yet.

ElvUI is a complete replacement for the default User Interface, and you will often find even the best players in the world use ElvUI for certain customization options. ElvUI is extremely user friendly, and takes very little time to set up and master. It also comes already furnished with almost everything you need; unit frames, raid frames, minimap, buffs and debuffs, and much more. You can easily unlock and drag all the components around so your UI will look exactly the way you want it to. ElvUI is clean, easy to use, and a great starting point for your UI.

Boss Mods are helpful pre-made timers that allow you to keep track of the noteworthy mechanics in any given encounter. Usually they come equipped with helpful prompts, visuals, and sounds to ensure you do not miss anything important.

BigWigs is the best boss mod available currently. It is extremely customizable, allowing you to change what is displayed on an individual boss level and how boldly you want each alert customized.

This is really just BigWigs, but for dungeons. It has the same customization options, and allows you to prepare as best as you can for all mechanics that will be thrown at you in regular or Mythic+ dungeons.

Deadly Boss Mods is an alternative to BigWigs, and offers almost the exact same customization options for keeping track of boss abilities, trash mobs, and combat timers. It is a great tool to help you focus more on your own character, instead of having to worry about keeping track of all those pesky boss mechanics!

Nameplates are essential for allowing you to easily keep track of basic debuffs and quickly select new targets in combat. While ElvUI nameplates do come standard with the AddOn, they are a little limited and occasionally buggy. Listed below are some good alternatives.

Plater offers a very high degree of customization and accuracy, although somewhat limited due to the Addon changes in Midnight. You can still configure the nameplates to enlarge and change color in certain circumstances, and it might help you keep track of important buffs and debuffs in a chaotic fight, so you do not get lost in the weeds. Some setup is required, although it is very simple and straightforward.

Platynator is a new Addon developed by plusmouse, who is known for many super helpful addons like Auctionator, Baganator, Prat, and many more. They have now developed a very customizable Nameplate addon that offers numerous options for debuffs, status colors, icons, textures, and much more. It is definitely worth checking out, especially if you end up having any issues with Plater for any reason.

Details is still around as the #1 Addon to customize damage and healing meters. While it may not offer as many tracking options as before due to the limits imposed by Blizzard, it is still around and kicking to help you customize the Blizzard Damage, Healing, and Other metrics pane.
