Valheim – The Complete Guide to Trainers, Console Commands, and Mods

About This Mod

Introduction

Valheim is a brutal survival sandbox game inspired by Viking culture, where players explore a procedurally generated world, build bases, and battle mythological creatures. The game features a vibrant modding ecosystem built around the BepInEx framework, a comprehensive console command system, and a variety of third-party trainers and Cheat Engine tables . This guide provides a detailed overview of the available console commands, trainer options, mod installation methods, and essential considerations for using these tools safely in single-player and private server environments.

Console Commands and Built-In Cheats

The developer console provides the safest built-in solution for cheating without external software. The system offers a comprehensive set of commands covering god mode, spawning, teleportation, and world manipulation.

Activation

To enable console commands on Steam, add the launch option "-console" to Valheim in Steam Properties. Launch the game, open the console with F5, and type devcommands to enable cheat mode . A mod is also available that enables the console by default and provides a convenient F5 shortcut for opening and closing it .

Modding Framework: BepInEx Installation

BepInEx is the essential modding framework for Valheim, required for most script-based mods and trainers. It provides the foundation for loading .dll plugins into the game .

Manual Installation

Download the latest BepInEx release from the official GitHub page. Extract the archive into the Valheim game installation folder. For Steam: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim. Launch the game once to generate the required folder structure .

Server Installation

For dedicated servers, stop the server, locate the Non Workshop Mod icon in the control panel, click Install next to BepInEx. After installation, upload .dll mod files to BepInEx\Plugins\ on the server. Start the server to load mods .

Important Note: Crossplay Compatibility

If your Valheim server has crossplay enabled for Xbox or Game Pass players, BepInEx will not load, and mods will not run. Iron Gate's crossplay backend uses PlayFab and hooks the same DLLs as BepInEx. Choose either crossplay with no mods, or mods with no crossplay (all players on Steam) .

Mod Installation and Management

Thunderstore / r2modman

The easiest method for mod management is through Thunderstore and the r2modman mod manager. The manager automatically handles dependencies and mod updates. Players can browse and install mods with a single click .

Server vs. Client Mods

Every Valheim mod is either server-side only, client-side only, or both. Always check each mod's documentation. Mismatched server/client mod sets are the primary cause of connection issues .

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will using a trainer get me banned in Valheim?
A: Valheim does not have a centralized anti-cheat system for single-player or private servers. Trainers and cheats are designed for personal enjoyment. Using them on public or community servers may result in being kicked by server admins.

Q: Can I use mods in multiplayer?
A: Yes, but all players must have compatible mods installed, and the server must have any required server-side mods installed. Crossplay must be disabled for mods to work .

Q: What is the difference between a trainer and a Cheat Engine table?
A: A trainer is a standalone executable with pre-defined hotkeys. A Cheat Engine table requires Cheat Engine software and offers more granular control over specific memory values .

Q: Why doesn't my trainer work after a game update?
A: Game updates change memory addresses. Trainers and tables must be updated for specific patches. Check for updated versions compatible with your current game build .

Q: Why doesn't a mod load on the server?
A: Verify that the .dll file is placed directly in BepInEx\Plugins\ and not in a subfolder. Check that crossplay is disabled (mods do not work with crossplay) .
