About Valheim Cheats

A fan-maintained reference for Valheim's console commands, item IDs, character codes, and the rest of the data tucked inside the game's developer console.

Valheim Cheats is an independent reference site for the developer console built into Valheim. We collect every console command and every game ID — items, creatures, locations, events, global keys, skills, environments, and status effects — in one searchable place so you don't have to dig through forum threads, Steam guides, or a half-broken wiki to find a single spawn code.

The site is not affiliated with Iron Gate Studio or Coffee Stain Studios. We're a fan project, written by people who like the game enough to keep the data accurate.

What you'll find here

The site covers two kinds of content:

  • A complete console-command reference — every cheat, admin command, emote, and player command available in Valheim, with syntax, parameters, examples, and copy-paste-ready command strings. See the commands list for the full set.
  • A complete ID reference — the in-game identifiers you need to use those commands. That's roughly 900+ items, 60+ creatures, 140+ locations, and a long tail of skill, event, global-key, environment, and status-effect codes. Each ID has its own page with the spawn command, related entries, and any drops, biome, or resistance data we have.

On top of the reference, we publish how-to guides and tutorials on the blog — opening the console, enabling cheats, spawning bosses, running a dedicated server, and similar.

Where the data comes from

The data on this site is compiled from a mix of primary and community sources, in roughly this order of authority:

  • Valheim's own files and console output. Spawn IDs, command syntax, status-effect codes, and global-key names are pulled from the game's data tables. The internal name (e.g. gd_king for The Elder or Dragon for Moder) is what actually works in the console — so that's what we list.
  • The Valheim Wiki and community guides. Drops, damage resistances, biome notes, and other descriptive data are cross-referenced against the community-maintained Valheim Wiki and Steam guides.
  • Our own playtesting. Anything that's only true in a specific patch — boss-spawn behavior, raid triggers, weather commands — is verified in-game before it goes up.

How the data is maintained

The site updates whenever Valheim ships a content patch (Mistlands, Ashlands, and the smaller hotfixes in between). When new biomes, creatures, or commands arrive, we add them to the dataset and the new pages appear in our sitemap on the next build. Existing pages get a date-stamped review when their underlying data changes — we don't silently rewrite history.

We rebuild and publish the site on every change, so the version you're reading right now reflects the latest published commit.

Accuracy and corrections

We work hard to keep the reference correct, but Valheim is a living game and we don't catch everything. If you find an ID that's outdated, a command that no longer works, a missing entry, or a description that's wrong, the fastest way to get it fixed is to send us a note from the contact page. Reports that include the patch number you're on, plus the command you tried and what happened, are gold.
