VALHEIM CONSOLE COMMANDS & CHEATS
Valheim’s world can be brutal. There is danger around every corner, and death loves to surprise you. If you need to manage your server better or avoid getting killed, you can use the Valheim console commands and cheats.
Valheim’s console command gives server owners some extra tools to help them decide who can join and who cannot. Cheats are only available in single-player mode and provide additional powers that can be difficult to acquire through traditional methods or don’t belong in your arsenal. Cheats can have unexpected effects on your game, so we recommend backing up your data before activating them.
