June 16, 2023 Four new console commands added from the latest patch, including “tombstone” and changes to God mode.
How do you use Valheim console commands? If you want to become an all-powerful being on your very own server, or speed up the process when building multiple structures, console commands – or cheats – can save you a lot of time.
These console commands in Valheim can even be used with friends on a private Valheim server, providing you are the host. Fighting trolls is tough no matter how far you are into the survival game, but God mode prevents your party from getting below one health point regardless of how powerful your enemies are. There are also Valheim cheats and console commands for spawning items, kicking unwanted players, and unlocking the whole map, and we’ve included them all below for anyone running their own public server.
Using Valheim console commands
Valheim console commands can be entered at any time in-game by pressing F5 on your keyboard to open the console. By default, the only commands that work right off the bat are the server commands. It’s important to note that only the server host has access to the console. Guests are unable to use any of these commands unless they’ve been promoted to admin status.
You can find all the server commands by typing ‘help’ into the console. This should bring up a list of all the options available when it comes to kicking, banning, and unbanning players on your server.
Valheim cheats
To access the cheat console commands, you need to type ‘imacheater’ into the console. Typing ‘help’ once more into the console will display a longer list of commands, this time with every cheat command. Once you’ve enabled the cheat console commands, you will have to enter ‘imacheater’ again to disable them.
