Overview

What is FFXIV Config?

FFXIV Config is a ready-to-use HUD, hotbar, and macro layout for Final Fantasy XIV. Every combat, crafting, and gathering job has its actions, spells, items, and macros laid out ahead of time — so you spend your time playing instead of arranging hotbars.

It is built on top of Fr4nsson’s FFXIV Config (FFC) and adapted for current 8.x jobs. Switching jobs from the on-screen menu changes your gear set and reveals the hotbars for that role, giving you one consistent layout across every job in the game.
