MBB
The Addon HidingBar supersedes MBB on all aspects and is continually updated.

MBB reduces minimap buttons and makes them accessible through a pop out menu. Click the MBB button to expand the menu and display the buttons. Each button that is collapsed into the menu can be reattached to the minimap with Ctrl + Right Click. The MBB button can also be detached from minimap with Ctrl + Right Click.
Hot Key
- Ctrl + Right Click - detach / reattach a minimap button
Slash Commands
- /mbb - shows the MBB commands
- /mbb buttons - shows a list of all rfames in the MBB bar
- /mbb reset position - resets the position of the MBB button
- /mbb reset all - resets the MBB settings
Are the captured buttons supposed to be configurable? I could find no such ability; it seemed to capture what it was able and nothing more. I was hoping it was more flexible than Norganna's SlideBar, allowing one to forcibly capture anything and everything, but apparently it isn't. The result is that one winds up with a mish-mash of some icons captured by MBB and some left rubber-banded to the minimap. How anyone would consider that mess acceptable is bewildering.
Any minimap button that has been added to the minimap by an addon can be put into the MBB with the exception of a few addons whose buttons conflict with MBB. To move a button in and out of the MBB try Ctrl + Right click.
Thanks for this, it's so needed it should be part of the default UI.
What is going on lately? MBB is using like 25 to 40 mg of RAM and lagging my game out. Can you look into this? thanks!
Just posting to thank the authors and maintainers for MBB! This is an immensely useful feature and at the moment, seems to be the only mod of its type still being maintained (Minimap Button Frame for instance seems to be really out of date). Its great to have my minimap buttons condensed into an accessible pop-out menu and saves me tons of time and space from having to configure so many mods to spawn Broker buttons instead!
Please keep MBB in development and thanks for your hard work!
Hi there!
First of all, I love this addon and have been using it for years!
There's an addon called "Premade Filter" which I also use, that relies on the minimap button to perform background searches in the premade finder. With MBB enabled, background searches simply don't work. Whenever I disable MBB, then they work.
I tried finding the button to detach it from MBB and reattach it to the minimap, but it is nowhere to be found. Though when I perform a /mbb buttons it shows its name there:
PremadeFilter_MinimapButton
Is there another way I can try to remove it from MBB, maybe a slash command or something?
I know probably the best thing would be for the Premade Filter dev to fix this, but he has stated on his page that he canceled his subscription to WoW.
Thanks a lot!
an easy fix for it, open the MBB.lua file inside the addon folder with a notepad and change the MBB_Ignore to add these:
[40] = "MiniMapLFGFrame", -- LFG
[41] = "PremadeFilter_MinimapButton" -- PreMadeFilter
the number inside of the [] is sequencial

Any chance you could make options for lock position and maybe make it remember settings across all characters? Many thanks!
Hi there! I absolutely love this AddOn and have been using it for years.
Recently I made the switch to ElvUI and have been using BagSync to take care of item tracking on alts etc., but the only problem is that the BagSync button doesn't want to hop in MBB! Is there any way I could make it hop MBB by changing something in either AddOn, or can you possibly have a look into it? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the exceptions or anything like that but then again I don't have that much LUA knowledge.
Anyway thanks for your time, I really appreciate your work in keeping this AddOn alive :)
Is the WoW default garrison icon gone? Is there a way to get the garrison icon to show up?
The Garrison Icon visibility will not be effected by MBB. Are you possibly using ElvUI, which hides the Garrison icon by default?
Nice addon. So far the only icon that isn't in the bag is this addon http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/dugi-questing-essential . Is there a way to get Dugi's minimap button into that bag?
Very likely, yes. I'll take a look at the dugi addon.
Yes, please add dugi's minimap button to the MBB. That would be fantastic. It's been over a year since you said you'd look into adding it. So here's a little reminder! Do you think it's possible?
Just what I was looking for! Thank you very much for this simple but highly useful addon :)
Any possibility to make the buttons appear on "hover" rather than on "click"? Maybe allowing that as an option.
Yes, it's a possibility. I'll add this to the wishlist.
If you are looking for an update for MBB 6.1 please be patient. I've reached out to Pericles as there is some issue with Curse's configuration of the MMB Project. I've tested this addon on 6.1 and it should still work.
nvm
Really couldn't care less what you do with your icons. I stopped having anything to do with the pathetic dumbed down crap that passes for WoW these days two expansions ago.
