Valheim Console Commands, Cheats & Item IDs — 1.0 Guide

9/12/2026 Valheim 1.0 Last updated: 9/12/2026 3 min read

FAQ

How do I enable developer commands?
Open the console with F5 and enter devcommands. Wait for the game to confirm the mode before entering another command.
Can I use commands safely in a shared world?
Only when the world owner and every affected player agree. Test inventory or world changes in a copy first, because commands can make a save difficult to audit or restore.

Interactive checklist

Choose the safe console test

Select the kind of developer-console action you need and keep the test isolated from progression.

Resolve the Item ID first, then test the smallest quantity in a copied world.

0/3 complete

Code finder

Find a command or internal ID

Search the local reference index by English name, ID, or command. An ID is the object name; the command decides what the game does with it.

Safety note: these are version-sensitive developer-console references. Test one command in a copied or disposable world, enable the console only where you have permission, and save only after the result is what you intended. Do not treat every ID as a spawnable object.

Use console commands in the world where mistakes are reversible

  1. Step 1: Open a copied or disposable world, press F5, type devcommands, and wait for the confirmation message before using another command.
  2. Step 2: Enter one command such as spawn [prefabName] [amount] [level], press Enter, and inspect the result in the world or inventory.
  3. Step 3: Type save, close the console, reload the copied world, and compare the result with the planned test before returning to the normal progression save.

console and developer commands: identify the setting, command, or join screen needed for this task.

After launching with -console, press F5 in a world and enter devcommands. Common commands are save to write the world, pos to print your position, goto x y z to move to coordinates, spawn <prefab> <amount> <level> to create an item or creature, and removedrops to clear nearby loose drops. kick <name/steamID> belongs to the server-admin command path. Commands can change or damage a save, so use a copied world for tests.

Console commands are useful for a controlled test, a recovery check, or a private experiment. They are not a substitute for normal progression, and the command result depends on the active world, permissions, syntax, and target name.

  • Open a copied or disposable world before enabling devcommands.
  • Use the smallest command that answers the question and inspect the world or inventory immediately.
  • Save the test result, reload the copy, and keep the normal progression save outside the experiment.

Confirm the result in game

The command, world, version, and resulting state are recorded before the save is reused.

If joining or applying the setting fails

  • Stop issuing commands when the result differs from the plan.
  • Restore the copied save or backup instead of trying several fixes at once.
  • Keep developer testing separate from normal progression.
