How to Use Admin Commands on your Valheim Server

Admin commands are exclusive commands available for Valheim server administrators. There is a wide availability of commands for Valheim server administrators, ranging from kicking and banning players to enabling god mode.

Important: In order to run any admin commands you will need to be connected as an administrator.

Enabling In-Game Console

Before you can enter any console commands in-game, you will need to be connected as an administrator, and have the console startup parameter enabled.

  1. From your Steam Library, Right-Click Valheim and click Properties.
  2. Under launch options, enter -console.
  3. Launch Valheim.

Available Admin Commands

To use a command in-game, you will need to open the in-game console and enter your desired command. For this example, we will be using the save command.

There are dozens of commands that a Valheim server administrator can use, so we highly recommend you visit this wiki page for a full list of console commands available.

Important: By default, cheat commands are not available on multiplayer servers, however, they can be enabled using the Server Devcommands plugin.

  2. Press F5 to open the in-game console.
