Description

What is simpleMinimap?

simpleMinimap is a lightweight minimap addon that provides shape customization, coordinate display, zoom controls, and border styling for the default WoW minimap.

Categorized under Map & Minimap, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

  • Square minimap option replacing the default circular shape for better screen fit
  • Coordinate display showing your current map position
  • Scroll wheel zoom for quick minimap zoom in and out
  • Border removal or customization for a cleaner minimap appearance
  • Button frame for organizing minimap addon buttons in a tidy row
  • Minimap scaling for increasing or decreasing the overall minimap size
  • Clock display with local or server time
  • Strata and level adjustment to prevent minimap overlap with other frames

Why simpleMinimap is Essential

The default circular minimap wastes corner pixels and lacks basic conveniences like coordinates or scroll zoom. simpleMinimap is the lightest possible fix for these annoyances, adding just the features you need without the bloat of a full UI replacement. A square minimap alone reclaims significant screen real estate.

Supported Expansions

simpleMinimap is available for WotLK, Classic, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install simpleMinimap

Place simpleMinimap in your AddOns directory. Type /simpleminimap or /smm to open the options panel. Toggle features individually and drag the minimap to reposition it.

Installing simpleMinimap on a private server

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Install steps

  1. Download the simpleMinimap build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/simpleMinimap/simpleMinimap.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading, and the 1.12.1 client is especially strict about this.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable simpleMinimap, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
