Console commands are one of the easiest ways to bypass game systems and experience everything in Valheim.

A few things before you dabble into these cheats, though.

All cheats work in single-player, and while some also translate to multiplayer, your success may vary. Cheat at your own risk!

Right click Valheim in your Steam Library, go to Properties, and then add “-console” to the Launch Option window. Open up your game, and once loaded, pressF5to open the console command, and type

0.150.3 Update

0.150.3 Update

The 0.150.3 update added a new terrain system to Valheim. The new terrain modification system was made to reduce the number of network instances and make loading faster and smoother. All terrain modifications after this patch (using the hoe, pickaxe or cultivator) will automatically use the new modification system.

For existing areas where heavy terrain modifications have been made before this patch, you’ll want to use the special console command “optterrain” to basically convert all the old terrain modifications in the nearby area to the new system.
