# Eco Admin Commands & /serverui Reference (/docs/eco/admin-commands)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Once you're an admin on an Eco server (see [Adding Admins](/docs/eco/adding-admins)), all admin actions happen through chat slash commands or the in-game `/serverui` panel. This page covers the verified day-to-day commands.

Open the Chat [#open-the-chat]

Press **Enter** to open chat. Type a slash command and press Enter again. Commands are case-insensitive.

Meteor Control [#meteor-control]

The most-used admin commands. The meteor settings file (`Disasters.eco`) only applies to **new** worlds — for live worlds, use these:

| Command                | Description                                                     |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/meteor destroy`      | Permanently remove the meteor from this world                   |
| `/meteor addhours <n>` | Add `n` hours to the impact timer (negative to bring it closer) |
| `/meteor addhours 240` | Example: push impact 10 in-game days further out                |

See [Meteor & Disasters](/docs/eco/meteor-disasters) for the full meteor workflow.

Teleport [#teleport]

| Command                    | Description                                               |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/teleport <x>,<y>,<z>`    | Teleport to absolute coordinates                          |
| `/tp <x>,<z>`              | Short form — teleport to X,Z (Y auto-resolves to surface) |
| `/teleportplayer <player>` | Teleport to another player by name                        |

Coordinates are world units. Use `/serverui → Map` to find a spot to teleport to.

Give Items [#give-items]

| Command                     | Description              |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| `/give <itemname>,<amount>` | Give yourself items      |
| `/give Lumber,10`           | Example: 10 lumber       |
| `/give StoneBlock,64`       | Example: 64 stone blocks |

Item names are PascalCase (`Lumber`, `StoneBlock`, `IronOre`). The full list lives in the [Eco wiki](https://wiki.play.eco).

Manage Admins [#manage-admins]

| Command                        | Description                       |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `/admin <player>`              | Grant admin to a connected player |
| `/manage removeadmin <player>` | Remove admin status               |

Granting admin in-game is faster than editing `Users.eco` and restarting.

/serverui — The In-Game Settings Panel [#serverui--the-in-game-settings-panel]

This is the killer command most Eco admins don't know about:

```
/serverui
```

It opens an in-game UI exposing **almost every config file** for live editing — without stopping the server or touching files. From here you can:

* Edit `Difficulty.eco` (skill costs, XP rates)
* Adjust `Network.eco` (server name, description)
* Configure `Disasters.eco` for new worlds
* Inspect the world map and player list
* View live ecosystem stats

Most changes apply immediately. World generation settings still need a wipe regardless.

World & Time [#world--time]

| Command              | Description                                    |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `/serverui`          | Open the admin panel (covers everything below) |
| `/setdaytime <hour>` | Set in-game time of day                        |

The chat help (`/help`) lists every command available on your specific server version — Eco's command set evolves with each release.

Useful Workflows [#useful-workflows]

Check who's connected [#check-whos-connected]

```
/serverui
```

Then click the **Players** tab. Shows everyone with online status, location, and skills.

Quick balance test [#quick-balance-test]

```
/admin yourself
/give Lumber,1000
/give StoneBlock,1000
/give IronIngot,200
```

Grants you starter materials to test recipes without grinding.

Push back the meteor by 5 days [#push-back-the-meteor-by-5-days]

```
/meteor addhours 120
```

(120 hours = 5 in-game days)

Limitations [#limitations]

* **No traditional RCON** — Eco does have an RCON-like remote interface but it's API-based, not the standard Source RCON protocol. Most third-party RCON tools don't work.
* **No script access** — admin commands are limited to what's in `/help`. Eco doesn't expose a console REPL like Don't Starve Together.
* **Per-server command sets** — installed mods can add their own commands. Run `/help` on your specific server to see the full list.
