Where is the WoW Forever addons folder? Install location on Windows and Mac
Updated 2026-11-02
The WoW Forever addons folder is _forever_/Interface/AddOns, inside your World of Warcraft install location. It's separate from _retail_ and _classic_, and add-ons in those folders won't load in Forever.
| System | Default path |
|---|---|
| Windows | C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns |
| Mac | /Applications/World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns |
Find it if you moved the game
- Open the Battle.net app and pick World of Warcraft.
- Choose World of Warcraft: Forever in the game version menu above Play.
- Click the gear next to Play and choose Show in Explorer, or Show in Finder on a Mac.
- Open
_forever_, thenInterface, thenAddOns.
The folder isn't there
A fresh install may not have Interface or AddOns yet. Create them yourself, spelled exactly like that. The _forever_ folder itself appears once the client is installed.
How sure is this
Blizzard hasn't named the folder in a public post we could find. The name comes from the beta, from CurseForge's migration guide, and from add-on managers: WowUp's source code uses _forever_. We check it on the live client on launch night and update our launch hub.
