Valheim Dev Commands: Full list and how to activate

As with most PC games, Valheim features an extensive list of console commands that make the game fully open to players. This means god mode, killing any nearby enemy and even spawning all items. 

Naturally, players who are more interested in building or sheer exploration in Valheim want to know the full list of these console commands, also known as dev commands. Luckily, the full list is accessible to any player and can be entered in-game with no limit.

How to activate Dev Commands in Valheim

First and foremost, players need to know how to actually activate the console to enter the dev commands. Irongate Studios locked this in-game by default so players now need to manually activate it through Steam.

Once in-game, type “devcommands” in your text box and hit Enter. You can then enter the following commands.
