Every item, creature, and structure in Valheim has a single prefab name. The console spawn command takes that name plus an optional count and level. This page lists the prefabs admins reach for most often, grouped by category, so you can copy the exact identifier without alt tabbing into the wiki.

Enabling the console

  1. In Steam, right click Valheim and choose Properties.
  2. Under General, set Launch Options to -console.
  3. Launch the game and press F5 to open the console.
  4. Type devcommands and press Enter to enable cheat commands like spawn.

spawn command syntax

Valheim console
spawn [prefab] [amount] [level]
# A single item at default level 1
spawn Coins
# 50 stacks of iron
spawn Iron 50
# One level 4 iron sword
spawn SwordIron 1 4

amount respects the stack size for that item. Spawning more than the stack will scatter the overflow on the ground next to you. level only matters for weapons, armor, and creatures (where level controls difficulty and drops).

  • god toggles invulnerability. Useful while testing spawns near a boss altar.
  • fly toggles noclip flight. Pairs well withtod 0.5 to lock the time of day.
  • removedrops clears every dropped item in your loaded area. Run after a stack overflow.
  • tame sets every tameable creature in render distance to tamed. Friendlier than spawning a hundred wolves.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the console in Valheim?

Add -console to the Steam launch options for Valheim, then launch the game. Press F5 in game to open the console. To enable cheat commands, type devcommands and press Enter.

What is the syntax for the spawn command?

spawn [prefab] [amount] [level]. Amount defaults to 1, level defaults to 1. Example: spawn SwordIron 1 4 spawns a single level 4 iron sword.

Do these prefab names work on a dedicated server?

Yes. Console commands run client side, but the spawn command produces real networked items that persist in the world the server is hosting. Admins can also issue spawns from the server console when their SteamID is in adminlist.txt.

Why does my spawn command return Object not found?

The prefab name is case sensitive and must be exact. Common typos: WoodSword instead of SwordWood, IronPickaxe instead of PickaxeIron. Use the in game tab autocomplete (start typing the prefab and hit Tab) to confirm spelling.
