Cavalry Mounts
Every World of Warcraft player knows the ritual: open the Mount Journal, scroll past dozens of dragons, owls, and mechanical squirrels, and finally click the one you actually wanted. Cavalry Mounts throws that ritual out the window. This addon turns your action bar into a personal stable, letting each button summon a specific mount with a single left-click and swap to another favorite with a quick right-click.
What Cavalry Mounts Actually Does
At its core, Cavalry Mounts gives you mount buttons that behave like real abilities. Each button casts its mount natively, complete with the genuine icon, tooltip, and usable state, so nothing feels like a workaround macro. Left-click and you ride. Right-click and a slim strip of your Mount Journal favorites appears right beside the button. Pick one, and that button becomes your new mount.
That is the entire loop, and it is refreshingly small. There is no giant menu, no floating panel hogging screen space, and no second list to maintain. If you have starred a mount in the Mount Journal, it is already in your strip.
One Button or Ten, Your Call
Most players need exactly one Cavalry Mounts button, but the addon supports up to ten. Each button remembers its own mount, which is handy if you like a ground mount on one bar and a flying mount on another. The picker arranges itself as a tidy grid sized to your bar, and the settings panel stays minimal: your buttons plus three checkboxes.
If you would rather not fuss with manual setup at all, the foxygame.net launcher handles it for you. Its built-in addon catalog includes Cavalry Mounts, and installing it takes a single click, with automatic updates keeping the addon current whenever a new game patch lands.
Built for the Way You Play
- Random favorite option summons a different mount every time you click.
- Mounts you cannot use in your current zone are greyed out with the reason, or hidden entirely.
- Mount up on pick is optional, as is a gold marker showing the mount you are riding.
- Shift-click links a mount, ctrl-click previews it, exactly like the Mount Journal.
- Clean bars: no macro name cluttering the button on default action bars.
Bar Addon and Interface Support
Cavalry Mounts plays nicely with the default action bars, plus Bartender4, Dominos, and ElvUI. You also get key bindings, a minimap button, and an addon compartment entry so you can reach the settings without typing anything.
Version Compatibility Across WoW
Whether you are chasing nostalgia or current content, Cavalry Mounts for World of Warcraft covers the major versions players actually log into: Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria. The Mount Journal favorites system works across these clients, so the same star-and-swap workflow applies whether you are leveling through Outland or pushing keys on a modern realm.
How to Install Cavalry Mounts
Setup takes about a minute. Here is the short version:
- Download Cavalry Mounts and place the folder in your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory.
- Log in and star your favorite mounts in the Mount Journal.
- Type /cavalry new to pick up a fresh button, then drop it on an action bar.
- Right-click the button and choose the mount you want it to summon.
That is it. No profiles to import, no macros to write, no configuration wizard asking twelve questions before you can play.
Useful Slash Commands
Type /cavalry to open settings and manage your mount buttons. Use /cavalry new whenever you want to add another button to a different bar. And if you cannot decide, /cavalry random summons a random favorite on the spot, which pairs nicely with the random option baked into each button.
Why It Stays on Your Bar
Mount addons tend to fall into two camps: oversized collection browsers or fragile macro generators. Cavalry Mounts avoids both by treating your mount like a spell you already know how to use. The learning curve is one right-click, and the payoff is never opening the Mount Journal mid-raid again.
If you have ever missed a pull because you were scrolling for your favorite drake, this is the fix. Star your mounts, drop a button, and ride.
