# Don't Starve Together Admin Console Commands Reference (/docs/dont-starve-together/admin-commands) import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps'; 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 [#prerequisites] Before any of this works: 1. Your Klei ID (`KU_xxxxxxxx`) must be in `Cluster_1/adminlist.txt` — see [Adding Admins](/docs/dont-starve-together/adding-admins) 2. `cluster.ini` must have `console_enabled = true` under `[MISC]` 3. You must be connected to the server in-game Opening the Console [#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 [#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 [#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 [#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: ```lua 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](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Console/Don%27t_Starve_Together_Commands). Player Management [#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 [#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 [#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 [#useful-one-liners] ```lua -- 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 [#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](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Console/Don%27t_Starve_Together_Commands) | | `c_regenerateworld()` regenerated everything you wanted to keep | There is no undo. | Always back up before running this.
