How to Add Admins on Your Valheim Server

Adding Admins

Edit adminlist.txt in the save directory — one SteamID64 per line:

76561198012345678
76561198087654321

Find SteamIDs at steamid.io.

Enabling the Console

Players must add -console to their Steam launch options (right-click Valheim → Properties → Launch Options).

In-game, press F5 to open the console. Type devcommands to enable cheat commands (admin only).

Admin vs Dev Commands

• Admin commands (kick, ban) work in multiplayer for admins
• Dev commands (spawn, god, ghost) require devcommands to be enabled — only needed for singleplayer-style cheats

See Console Commands for the full list.
