# Console Commands (/docs/stardew-valley/console-commands)



You manage the server from the panel **Console** tab. It's connected directly to the SMAPI console, so you can type SMAPI and JunimoServer commands.

Using the console [#using-the-console]

<div />

1. Open your server and go to the **Console** tab.
2. Type a command and press **Enter**.
3. Output appears in the console log.

Useful commands [#useful-commands]

| Command     | Description                           |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `help`      | List available SMAPI/console commands |
| `list_mods` | Show loaded mods and versions         |
| `players`   | Show connected players                |

> JunimoServer adds its own commands for managing the farm and farmhands. Type `help` to see everything available on your version.

Player chat commands [#player-chat-commands]

These are typed by players in the in-game **chat**, not the panel console:

| Command             | Who     | Description                                 |
| ------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `!login <password>` | Players | Authenticate on a password-protected server |

Stopping & restarting [#stopping--restarting]

Use the panel's **Stop** / **Restart** buttons rather than a console command. The server auto-saves and keeps backups, so restarts are safe.
