Valheim Kick Command: Syntax & Admin Rights

Kick the correct player from the active server

1. 1
   Step 1: Open the server’s admin workflow, confirm your Steam64 ID is in the admin list, save the file or setting, restart if required, and rejoin the server.
2. 2
   Step 2: Press F5 in game, type kick [name/steamID], and press Enter once after checking the target name or ID and the current server.
3. 3
   Step 3: Check the player list or server console to confirm the intended player left, then record the action instead of repeating the command or using ban.

kick [name/steamID]

A kick is a session action, so the most common mistake is targeting the wrong server or account rather than mistyping the command. Check the live server, admin list, and exact player identifier before acting.

• Confirm admin permission and the active server before entering the command.
• Run the command once, then use the player list or console output to check the result.
• Keep a short moderation note so a mistaken kick can be explained without changing the world or using a broader action.

Confirm the result in game

The intended player was removed from the intended server and no ban or world command was run by mistake.

If joining or applying the setting fails

• Use the documented unban path if the wrong player was affected.
• Ask the player to reconnect only after the group rule is clear.
• Keep a backup and moderation record for persistent servers.
