Valheim offers a fun and exciting experience where players can fight bosses, build extensive bases, or explore the massive map. It’s easy to sink hours into the game, especially when grinding for better gear or working on a large project. But there’s another option for players who have less time or just want to get straight into the action.

Players can enable cheats, dev commands, and console commands in Valheim to spawn every item in the game and change settings in single player and multiplayer servers. While this significantly changes gameplay, it’s a fun and accessible option to use as needed.
To enable dev commands, you need to adjust your Valheim launch options in Steam. Right-click Valheim in your Steam library, select Properties, and find Launch Options under the General tab. In this field, type “-console” (without quotes) to unlock commands in Valheim. Once you load into your world, press F5 to open the console and type “devcommands” (without quotes) to enable cheats. You can disable cheats by typing “devcommands” again.
You can also spawn every item in Valheim with spawn commands, including some cut and removed items. To spawn an item, you need to type “spawn” followed by the item and an amount. For example, you would type “spawn Bronze 100” to spawn 100 Bronze ore. Thankfully for players, the Valheim community has curated a list of all available spawn commands, which is also included below.
Players who want to access Valheim’s version of a creative mode can use the debugmode. This command allows players to build without resources, fly, and kill nearby enemies as needed. Once the mode is activated, press B to toggle building without needing a workbench or resources. You can press Z to fly and toggle your altitude with the spacebar and return to the ground with ctrl. K kills all nearby enemies and creatures.
Enabling cheats can significantly impact your gameplay experience and is not recommended in most cases. If you have a world specifically meant for messing around, use these commands at your own risk. Additionally, the cheat commands only work in a single-player mode, so you should not encounter cheaters on a multiplayer server. Finally, some items that are not currently in the normal game can be spawned with a command, so be careful when experimenting with these items.
Here is a complete list of all cheats, console commands, and spawn commands in Valheim, courtesy of the game’s wiki. All commands are case-sensitive.
