Valheim console commands and item IDs

Everything the console can do: player commands anyone can use, the devcommands cheat set, server admin commands, and a searchable table of every spawnable item and creature ID in the game.

How to enable the console

On Steam, right click Valheim in your library, open Properties, and type -console into the launch options field. In game, F5 opens and closes the console. On PC Game Pass, make a shortcut to Valheim.exe and add -console to the shortcut target instead. On Xbox, hold LB, RB and the menu button together while in game.
