About this addon

What it does

MothBane

MothBane on the minimap

In Harandar, Glowing Moth treasures share the same minimap sparkle as lots of other treasures. That makes it easy to waste time chasing the wrong dot—or miss what you actually wanted. MothBane keeps those moths readable by swapping Blizzard’s usual treasure ping for something you choose: a clear shadow overlay or a dedicated moth icon.

Lightweight, no dependencies, World of Warcraft Retail.

Why use this?

  • Spot moth treasures without confusing them with unrelated treasures on the minimap.
  • Pick the visual that fits how you navigate the zone—shadow or moth icon.
  • Toggle everything off anytime with Enable MothBane or /mothbane off if you want vanilla behaviour back.

Features

  • Two minimap styles – Replace the default treasure vignette with a shadow tint or your moth artwork so moths stand out from other treasure pins.
  • Adjustable icon scale – Small / Medium / Large so the overlay matches your minimap setup.
  • Minimap launcher – Optional button on the minimap (hide it and use /mothbane only if you prefer a clean rim).
  • In-game settings – Enable/disable, style, scale, and minimap button visibility from one panel.

Slash commands

/mothbane              Open or close the settings window (handy when the minimap button is hidden).
/mothbane on           Enable MothBane (same as /mothbane 1).
/mothbane off          Disable MothBane (same as /mothbane 0).

Opening the UI

  • Minimap: Left-click the moth icon for options. Right-click and drag to move the icon.
  • Slash: Type /mothbane to toggle the settings window.

Settings

  • Enable MothBane – Master on/off for all minimap behaviour.
  • Show minimap button – Shows or hides the moth launcher on the minimap rim.
  • Replace Blizzard treasure withShadow or Moth over each Glowing Moth on the minimap; default is Moth.
  • Icon scaleSmall, Medium, or Large overlay size.

Installation

  3. Restart WoW or run /reload.
