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.
  1. Install Mod: Download and install the “Server Devcommands” mod (by JereKuusela).
  2. Setup Admin: Ensure your SteamID64 is added to the server’s adminlist.txt.
  3. Login: In-game, open your console (F5) and type devcommands.
  4. Activate Features: Use debugmode to toggle advanced shortcuts.

Command Shortcuts

Once debugmode 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.
  • ghost Command: Makes you invisible to enemies; they will ignore your presence.

Mod Requirement

Without the Server Devcommands mod, the server will ignore any attempt to toggle devcommands, even if the console superficially displays “True.”
