Only your character-level WoW friends remain visible.\n\n## Why?\n\n- **Streaming \u0026 content creation** - Prevents accidental display of real names and BattleTags on stream or in screenshots.\n- **Cleaner friends list** - See only your WoW friends from the same server/faction, without the clutter of cross-game Battle.net contacts.\n- **Privacy** - Keep your Battle.net social graph private while still playing normally.\n\n## How it works\n\nThe addon overrides `BNGetNumFriends()` to return zero, so the WoW friends UI simply sees no Battle.net friends to display. That's it - 4 lines of Lua.\n\nNothing is deleted or modified server-side. You can still:\n- Receive and reply to Battle.net whispers\n- Send and accept Battle.net friend requests\n- See your Battle.net friends in the Battle.net app\n\n## Compatibility\n\n| Client | Supported |\n|---|---|\n| Retail (The War Within / Midnight) | Yes |\n| Classic (Cataclysm / MoP) | Yes |\n| Classic Era | Yes |\n| Anniversary Edition | Yes |\n\nInterface versions are automatically kept up to date via CI.\n\n## Installation\n\n### From CurseForge\nInstall via [CurseForge](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/hidebattlenetfriends) or any CurseForge-compatible addon manager (CurseForge app, WowUp, etc.).\n\n### From GitHub Releases\n1. Download `HideBattleNetFriends.zip` from the [latest release](https://github.com/Metalhearf/HideBattleNetFriends/releases/latest).\n2. Extract the `HideBattleNetFriends` folder into your WoW addons directory:\n   - **Windows:** `C:\\Program Files (x86)\\World of Warcraft\\_retail_\\Interface\\AddOns\\`\n   - **macOS:** `/Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/`\n3. Restart WoW or type `/reload` in-game.\n\n### Manual\nClone this repository and copy (or symlink) the `HideBattleNetFriends/` folder into your AddOns directory.\n\n## Screenshot\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Screenshots/friendlist.JPG\" alt=\"Friends list with addon enabled\" width=\"500\"/\u003e\n\n*Friends list with the addon enabled: only WoW character friends are shown.*\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
