Craftpad

Housing in World of Warcraft has always been a beloved pastime, but keeping track of hundreds of recipes, materials, and who can craft what can quickly become overwhelming. Craftpad for World of Warcraft changes that entirely. This addon acts as your personal crafting assistant, giving you instant access to a searchable database of every housing item, complete with real-time material tracking and a unique community crafter locator. Whether you are a seasoned decorator or just starting to furnish your garrison or player home, Craftpad makes the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

What is Craftpad?

Craftpad is a lightweight yet powerful addon designed to solve the biggest headache in WoW housing: knowing what you can craft and what you are missing. Instead of juggling multiple profession windows, bank tabs, and notepads, you simply open Craftpad and search for any housing item by name, category, or profession. The addon instantly shows you the full recipe, your current material stock across all bags and banks, and even highlights which community members can craft it for you. It works automatically in the background, updating counts whenever you loot items or interact with your bank, so the information is always fresh.

Key Features

Craftpad packs a surprising amount of utility into a clean, intuitive window. Here is what you can expect:

• Comprehensive Search: Look up any housing item by its name, the profession that creates it, or a broad category like "chairs" or "lighting."
• Smart Material Tracking: Material counts display as "2/8" — you have 2, need 8. The numbers turn green when you are ready to craft and red when you need more.
• Automatic Updates: No need to manually scan. The addon refreshes your inventory whenever you loot, open your personal bank, or access the warband bank.
• Community Crafters: See exactly who in your guild and communities can craft the selected item, along with their profession skill level.
• Multi-Language Support: Works out of the box in English, French, German, Spanish, and all other WoW client languages, displaying item and material names in your locale.

How to Use Craftpad

Getting started is simple. Once installed, type /craftpad or /cp in the chat window to open the main interface. Search for an item, then click on it. The right panel will populate with everything you need: the complete recipe, your current materials drawn from bags, personal bank, and warband bank, and a list of community crafters who can make the item. The material counts update in real time as you play, so you can keep the window open while farming or browsing the auction house. There is no configuration required — Craftpad works immediately with your game client's language settings.

Community Crafters: Your Personal Crafting Network

One of Craftpad's standout features is its ability to automatically share profession data with other players in your communities who also have the addon installed. This happens seamlessly: when you log in, after a short delay, your professions are broadcast. The same occurs when you learn a new recipe or level up a profession. When you select an item, you will see a list of community members who can craft it, complete with their skill level. No manual scanning, no awkward whispers — it is all automatic. Privacy is respected: your profession data is only shared within WoW communities you are already a member of, and only with fellow Craftpad users.

Multi-Language Support

Craftpad adapts to your game client's language without any extra steps. Item names, material names, and categories appear in your locale using WoW's built-in localization system. Supported languages include English (enUS, enGB), French (frFR), German (deDE), Spanish (esES, esMX), and all other client languages for item names. The search function works with localized text, so you can type in your own language and find exactly what you need. This makes Craftpad a truly global addon for the diverse World of Warcraft community.

Installation and Compatibility

If you are wondering how to install Craftpad, the process is straightforward. First, download Craftpad from your preferred addon source. Extract the folder into your World of Warcraft installation directory under _retail_\Interface\AddOns\ for the current retail version. For Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, or MoP, place it in the corresponding _classic_\Interface\AddOns\ or _classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\ folder. After extraction, restart WoW or type /reload in game to activate it. Craftpad is fully compatible with all modern WoW versions, including Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria, ensuring you can enjoy its benefits no matter which era you play. For those who prefer a streamlined setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Craftpad, automatically placing the addon in the correct folder for your game version and keeping it updated without manual downloads.
