Where Does RIFT Store Addons?
RIFT addons live per Shard folder under Interface AddOns in Documents. One folder per addon with a manifest inside.
Last updated
RIFT addon storage is one Interface folder under Documents holding an AddOns directory: one folder per addon with its manifest inside. Damage meters, raid frames, and interface overhauls share the layout. Shard folders separate live and test environments.
Enablement happens per character in the addon list, which newcomers miss constantly. Keep the addon set lean, since outdated addons throw errors on every login after patches. Back up Interface with the configuration files beside it for complete UI moves.

Frequently asked questions
The addon does not appear in game. Why?
Confirm the addon folder sits directly under AddOns with its manifest at root. Double nested folders from extraction never register. Enable addons per character in the addon list before logging in.
What must I back up for a full UI move?
Copy the Interface folder for addons plus the matching configuration files for layouts. Keybinds and window positions live outside the addon folders, so addons alone restore half the setup.
