Valheim has a command console where you can enter codes to remove your beard, spawn items, and almost anything you can imagine. These range from little quality-of-life improvements to full-on invulnerable god mode. There are just a couple of caveats attached to using console commands to cheat in Valheim. First off and as always, we can’t guarantee that using cheats to alter your game won’t cause issues with your save. It’s probably a good idea to back your save file up somewhere before doing anything drastic with console commands. Secondly, console command cheats can only be used in a single-player game, with a few specific exceptions for server admins. Now, how do you go about using console commands and cheats in Valheim? We’ve everything that you need to know right here!

How to enable console commands in Valheim
To enable console commands in Valheim, go to the game in your Steam Library, right-click it, and select ‘Properties’. Next, go to ‘General’, and look under ‘Launch Options’. In the empty box here, type ‘-console’. You can now launch Valheim and simply press F5 on your keyboard to bring up the command console. Then type “devcommand” (without the quotation marks) and hit Enter. You’ll see a message which reads “Cheats: True”. The command used to be “imacheater” but it changed earlier in 2021.
Valheim console commands - Utility and admin
Not every console command in Valheim is a cheat, strictly speaking. Quite a few of them just give you easier access to game functions that can be quite important under some circumstances. As such, they can be used in multiplayer as well as single player, as long as you’re the admin.
You can enter the following console commands to help with running your game:
help: Shows all available server commands. info: Displays the current system information. ping: Pings the server and displays the delay (in milliseconds). save: Saves the game. (The game usually only saves automatically on logout.) loadbias [1-5]: Sets draw distance. Enter “0” or leave number blank to display current draw distance.
The following admin-related console commands are available to the host in multiplayer:
ban [name/IP/userID]: Bans the named user from the server. kick [name/IP/userID]: Kicks the named user from the server. unban [name/IP/userID]: Unbans the named user from the server. banned: Displays a full list of users banned from the server.
Valheim console commands for creative mode
Valheim doesn’t currently have an official creative mode, but you can use console commands to access debug mode. This essentially does the same job, allowing you freedom to build without being tied to a workbench or worrying about resources.
Enter debugmode into the console to enable this mode, which allows you to:
Press “B” to toggle free building (no workbench/resources needed). Press “Z” to toggle flying. Press spacebar to fly up, Ctrl to fly down. Press “K” to kill all nearby enemies.
Valheim console commands: Cheats list
Now onto the really good stuff. Enter these cheats into the command console to gain in-depth control over your game. Just remember, cheats are used at your own risk! Valheim character cheats

Enemies ignore you. raiseskill [skill name] [value]: Raises the named skill by the amount entered. resetskill [skill name]: Resets the named skill to zero. heal: Heals your character to full health. puke: Resets hunger and restores default health and stamina. model [0/1]: Switches character model between masculine and feminine body types. beard: Removes your character’s beard.

Valheim console commands - Spawn items list
Finally, you can use Valheim’s command console to spawn just about any item in the game. Enter spawn [ItemName] [Amount] [Level]. Item name and amount are both self-explanatory. Level is only applicable in certain circumstances, e.g. when spawning an enemy or creature. Below is a full list of items you can spawn in Valheim:
