About this addon
What it does
MidnightMap is a lightweight, standalone minimap replacement designed to modernize your World of Warcraft interface. Built strictly with modern WoW API standards, it offers a clean, memory-efficient solution for players who want a sleek UI without the bloat of heavy libraries.
Whether you are preparing for The War Within or looking ahead to Midnight, this addon provides a crisp, customizable map experience that feels native to the game.
This addon is my pride and joy, been thinking about making this since i started playing wow 20 years ago.

Shape Shifting: Toggle instantly between a modern Square map or a classic Circle.

⚙️ Functionality
