Which addon is __MACOSX?
An in-game error, a load-order warning or a red Dependency line that mentions
user:/AddOns/__MACOSX/ — or a folder sitting in your
Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\ that you do not recognise — belongs to what
is listed below.

18 addons in the ESOUI catalogue ship a folder called __MACOSX, so the folder name alone does not settle it. The standalone one — the copy its own author publishes and updates — is JP Patch for Librarian Book Manager v1.6.3(Menu translation); the others bundle a copy of it inside their own download. The game loads exactly one folder of a given name.

How to read the error line
An ESO Lua error is written as
user:/AddOns/<Folder>/<File>.lua:<line>. Only the
<Folder> segment identifies the addon — the file name and the line number are internal to it,
and the addon's display name in the add-on list is frequently different from its folder name. That is the
whole reason this page exists.
