Don't Starve Together Admin Console Commands Reference

Complete admin console command reference for Don't Starve Together — c_save, c_rollback, c_spawn, c_give, c_shutdown, kick, ban, and more.

Once you're an admin on a Don't Starve Together server, the in-game console (~) gives you a Lua REPL with access to the entire game state. This page is the complete reference for the day-to-day admin commands you actually need: rolling back grief, force-saving, spawning items, kicking, banning, and shutting down cleanly.

Prerequisites

Before any of this works:

Your Klei ID (KU_xxxxxxxx) must be in Cluster_1/adminlist.txt — see Adding Admins
cluster.ini must have console_enabled = true under [MISC]
You must be connected to the server in-game

Opening the Console

Press the tilde key (~) to open the console. Type a command and press Enter.

By default commands run client-side only. To run a command on the server (which is what most admin actions need), press Ctrl+Enter instead — or toggle the "Remote" mode by clicking the icon at the top of the console.

Save & Rollback

The most-used commands. These are how you protect against grief.

Command	Description
`c_save()`	Force a save right now
`c_rollback()`	Roll back to the most recent save
`c_rollback(N)`	Roll back N snapshots (default max is 6)
`c_reset()`	Reload the world from the last save (no rollback)

Workflow: before something risky (boss fight, mod test, big build), run c_save(). If it goes wrong, c_rollback(1).

Server Lifecycle

Command	Description
`c_shutdown()`	Save and shut the server down
`c_shutdown(true)`	Same — saves before exiting
`c_shutdown(false)`	Shut down without saving (use only if save is corrupted)
`c_announce("message")`	Broadcast a message to all players
`c_regenerateworld()`	Wipes the current world and generates a new one. No undo.
`c_regenerateshard()`	Regenerate just the current shard (Master or Caves)

Spawning Items & Creatures

Command	Description
`c_spawn("prefab")`	Spawn a single entity at your cursor
`c_spawn("prefab", N)`	Spawn N entities
`c_give("prefab")`	Give yourself one item
`c_give("prefab", N)`	Give yourself N items
`c_give("prefab", N, AllPlayers[1])`	Give the item to a specific player by index

Examples:

c_give("log", 40)
c_give("twigs", 40)
c_give("rocks", 20)
c_spawn("deerclops")
c_spawn("pigman", 5)

The full prefab name list is on the DST wiki.

Player Management

Command	Description
`TheNet:GetClientTable()`	List every connected client (returns a Lua table)
`TheNet:Kick("KU_xxx")`	Kick a player by Klei ID
`TheNet:Ban("KU_xxx")`	Permanently ban a player by Klei ID
`TheNet:GetUserID()`	Print your own Klei ID (run as a player to see your ID)
`c_listplayers()`	Print the player list to the console (shorter alias)
`c_kick(N)`	Kick the player at index N in the player list
`c_ban(N)`	Ban the player at index N

c_kick(1) is faster than TheNet:Kick("KU_...") when you just want to boot the most-recently-joined player.

Time & Weather

Command	Description
`LongUpdate(N)`	Skip N seconds of game time forward
`LongUpdate(480)`	Skip one in-game day
`TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_setseason", "winter")`	Force change the season
`TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_forceprecipitation", true)`	Start rain
`TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_setphase", "night")`	Force night
`c_godmode()`	Toggle godmode on yourself

Health, Sanity, Hunger

Command	Description
`ThePlayer.components.health:SetPercent(1)`	Heal yourself to full
`ThePlayer.components.sanity:SetPercent(1)`	Restore sanity to full
`ThePlayer.components.hunger:SetPercent(1)`	Fill hunger
`c_godmode()`	All three at once + invincibility
`c_supergodmode()`	Godmode + free crafting + revive on death

Useful One-Liners

-- Give every connected player 20 logs
for i,v in ipairs(AllPlayers) do v.components.inventory:GiveItem(SpawnPrefab("log"), 20) end

-- Set everyone's HP to full
for i,v in ipairs(AllPlayers) do v.components.health:SetPercent(1) end

-- Find your Klei ID
print(TheNet:GetUserID())

-- Print the player list
for i,v in ipairs(AllPlayers) do print(i, v.name, v.userid) end

Common Issues

Problem	Cause	Fix
"You don't have admin privileges"	Not in `adminlist.txt`, or didn't restart after adding	Add yourself, restart
Commands have no effect	Running client-side, not server-side	Press Ctrl+Enter instead of Enter, or toggle Remote mode
`c_rollback(N)` rolls back fewer days than expected	DST keeps a max of 6 snapshots by default	Increase `max_snapshots` in `cluster.ini [GAMEPLAY]`
`c_spawn("prefab")` spawns nothing	Wrong prefab name (case-sensitive)	Check the DST wiki
`c_regenerateworld()` regenerated everything you wanted to keep	There is no undo.	Always back up before running this. See Backup & Restore
