What Era is

Era is the original-rules classic client on 1.15.9. It is not MoP and it is not TBC Anniversary. Questie publishes a Classic build. ElvUI's install wiki lists _classic_era_ for Era. A retail ElvUI zip is the wrong file even though the project supports several flavors from one tag. Pick the Era package the project offers.

Because Hardcore shares the directory, an addon you enable on Era is on disk for Hardcore too. Hardcore's extra rules are not an addon problem. The Hardcore page is where those rules belong.

Questions

Can I use a 1.12 private-server addon on Era?

No. Era is a modern client with interface 11509. A 1.12 toc uses 11200. Different games on disk.
