Often the name '''modification''' (or "mod" for short) ius used interchangeably with '''AddOn'''. More specifically, 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, and automating certain aspects of spell casting. 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 [[Earth]] or [[Sea]]. Still others, such as [[Cosmos]], are compliations of many individually-developed mods. | |||
