Administrative Superpowers
By default, Valheim dedicated servers restrict advanced commands like “fly” or “ghost” to singleplayer sessions only. Even if you are listed in the adminlist.txt, the standard game engine prevents these “cheats” for security reasons. This guide explains how to bypass these locks safely.

Enabling Admin Commands
To use flight or invisibility on a multiplayer server, you must install a specific middleware mod on both the server and your local client.- Install Mod: Download and install the “Server Devcommands” mod (by JereKuusela).
- Setup Admin: Ensure your SteamID64 is added to the server’s
adminlist.txt. - Login: In-game, open your console (F5) and type
devcommands. - Activate Features: Use
debugmodeto toggle advanced shortcuts.
Command Shortcuts
Oncedebugmode is active, you can use these hotkeys:
- Z Key: Toggle Flight (Fly/Debugfly).
- B Key: Toggle No-Cost Building (Build anything for free).
- K Key: Kill all nearby hostile entities.
ghostCommand: Makes you invisible to enemies; they will ignore your presence.
Mod Requirement
Without the Server Devcommands mod, the server will ignore any attempt to toggledevcommands, even if the console superficially displays “True.”Support Channels
