Often the name '''modification''' (or "mod" for short) is used interchangeably with AddOn. More specifically, a mod is a third-party AddOn that alters or enhances some aspect of World of Warcraft's interface. Mods can perform a wide variety of tasks, including adding new buttons to the screen, altering the built-in player and party frames. In extreme cases, mods completely supplant the standard WoW [[UI|interface]], usually offering more advanced functionality.

Some mods are standalone, able to run without any additional software. Others are built on libraries such as [[Sea]] or [[Ace (AddOns)|Ace]]. Still others, such as [[Cosmos]], are compilations of many individually-developed mods.
