The complete, categorised list of Rust admin and console commands — moderation, server settings, spawning and teleport — plus how to run them via F1 console and RCON.
Updated 2026 with the full command set, sourced from live RCON output. Works on any current Rust server, including after the “Built Different” update.
This is the complete, categorised reference for Rust server admin and console commands — moderation, convars, spawning, weather, events and anti-cheat — plus how to run them from the in-game F1 console and over RCON.
How to run Rust commands
F1 console — press F1 in-game. You must be authed (admin/owner) to run admin commands.
RCON / WebRCON — connect with RustAdmin or WebRCON to run commands remotely. RCON uses your RCON port (default 28016). See our RCON setup guide.
Make yourself admin with ownerid <SteamID> "name" (full owner, auth level 2) or moderatorid <SteamID> "name" (moderator, level 1), then run server.writecfg to save it.

FAQ
How do I open the console in Rust?
Press F1 in-game. If admin commands don’t work, you aren’t authed — add your SteamID with ownerid from RCON first.
Do these work on Oxide/Carbon servers?
Yes — these are vanilla server commands and work on modded servers too. Plugins simply add extra chat commands on top.
