Console commands (server admins)

These need devcommands, like Valheim's own spawn command.

  • vdw_give <item> [amount]: gives an item, for example rod_copper, hook_small, tackle_egg_sinker, tacklebox_t2, cooler_c1, buff_angler_minor, worm or a fish id.
  • vdw_debug catch <fish id>: the next cast brings that fish straight to the bait (for trying a fish out).
  • vdw_debug bite: the next cast gets a bite straight away.
  • vdw_debug listrods | listhooks | listbait | listfish | listbuffs: lists the item ids.
  • vdw_debug resetlog: clears your catch log.
  • vdw_debug tokens: exports the mod's text for translating (see Translations below).
