How to Enable Cheats on Your 7 Days to Die Server

In order to manage your server in-game, you'll need to have access to admin rights. A server admin has access to kick and ban players from the server.


How to Enter Cheat Mode

If you are an admin, you will be able to enter Cheat Mode via the in-game console by typing cm and pressing enter.

The in-game console can be opened by pressing the following key:

  • F1 for US and EU keyboards.
  • " for US keyboards.
  • @ for EU keyboards.
  • Ö/Ø/F2 for Scandinavian keyboards.
  • Ñ for Spanish keyboards.

If you are not an admin yet, feel free to follow the guide below on how to make yourself an admin.
