Always-visible health and power text on the player, pet, target and focus frames for World of Warcraft: Forever
![]() Health and power text on the frames |
![]() Options |
By default, WoW Forever only shows your health and power numbers when you hover the bar. Health Bar Text Forever keeps them always visible on the player, pet / minion, target, target of target, focus and target of focus frames. For each frame and bar (health and power) you choose what is shown and where.
| Text | Example |
|---|---|
| Value | 1.203 / 1.500 |
| Short value | 13K / 14K (999 / 1K below 1,000) |
| Current value only | 1.203 or 13K, without the maximum |
| Percent | 86% |
Value and percent each go where you want: left, center or right inside the bar, or just outside it on either side. Put them in the same spot and they share one line (86% 1.203 / 1.500); split them and they never overlap (86% on the left, 1.203 / 1.500 on the right).
- Always-visible health and power (mana, rage, energy...) on the player, pet / minion, target, target of target, focus and target of focus frames.
- Only on mouseover, per frame: hide the text until you hover the bar, keeping its format and position.
- Turn each frame on or off: an off frame goes back to Blizzard's default behavior.
- Per frame and per bar: value (full, short, current only or hidden), percent (on or off) and the position of each one: left, center, right, outside left or outside right.
- Optional text on the power bars (on by default). Turn it off and those bars go back to Blizzard's default behavior.
- The text hides with no unit or a dead one, so it never covers the game's own "Dead" label.
- Lightweight, no libraries. Settings live in the game's own Options → AddOns panel.
- Download the zip from the latest release.
- Extract the
HealthBarTextForeverfolder intoWorld of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns/. - Restart WoW and enable the addon.
It only loads on WoW Forever: the only TOC is HealthBarTextForever_Camelot.toc (Camelot is Forever's game type), so no other client lists it.
/htfopens the settings.- Options → AddOns → Health Bar Text Forever → General: pick a frame, turn it on or off and set its health and power bars; plus "Show on power bars".
In WoW Forever, health and power are secret values for addons during combat: they can be shown, but not used in math. This addon never computes anything with them: the percent comes from the game itself (UnitHealthPercent / UnitPowerPercent) and the numbers are only formatted for display.
