Creative Mode Quickstart Guide

To use “Creative Mode” you need to play Solo or Host a server. If you’re not the host, you’ll need to get the host to follow these steps. First, we’ll unlock the ability to use console commands and debugmode.

• Right-click Valheim in your Steam Library and add [-console] under Launch Options.
• Launch, and in-game press F5 to lower the console window.
  • To enable Console Commands type: [devcommands]
  • To enable Debug Mode type: [debugmode]

• Once Debug Mode is enabled, we now have Creative Mode.
  • To enable building without resources, press: [B]
  • To enable flying, press: [Z]

There are some drawbacks to this mode that we can fix with console commands. Here are a few simple console commands you’ll want to remember.

• Useful Console Commands:
  • [remove drops]: Removes all item drops in the area around your character.
  • [tod .4]: Sets the Time of Day to early afternoon. Change the number to anything between 0-1 for different times of day.
  • [spawn bread 99]: Spawns 99 bread. Even in Debug Mode, your Stamina will drain. Fill up with plenty of food.
