AdminMenu

Admin Menu

A panel for Valheim's console commands. You tick a box or press a button instead of typing in F5. Every item runs the game's own console command, so rights (devcommands, host, adminlist) and messages stay vanilla. The panel is in English and Russian.

Features

• Player: god, ghost, fly, no stamina, no cost, debug mode, skills, item sets, hair and beard, heal, free camera

that loads the world around it.

• World: position and teleport, your own bookmarks, map reveal and reset, kill or tame creatures, AI off, remove

drops, events, wind, difficulty, save, time of day on a slider, weather (vanilla and mods).

• Spawn: an icon grid like a creative mode, with categories, search and vanilla tooltips. Exact amounts in

pieces or stacks, quality, to yourself or any player online. Creatures show a picture of their model; level, count and tamed can be set.

• Effects: every status effect of the game and mods, on yourself, the target you look at, or any player.
• Search (locations): bosses, Vegvisir hints, dungeons, camps, runestones, traders. It marks them on the map

and teleports you. Mods' bosses and dungeons are sorted into these groups automatically.

• Server: ping, players with rights. You can give admin rights without a restart (adminlist), kick and ban,

and look into a player's inventory.

• Server characters (off by default, Rules tab): players' characters are kept on the server and saved there every

15 s.

• Rules apply to everyone with AdminMenu. They are saved for this world or for the whole game (a file

in BepInEx/config, which the host sends to players when they join):

• inventory rows and stack sizes;
• chest sizes;
• repair radius;
• crafting and production speed per station and level;
• plant growth;
• recipes and creature drops.
• Recipe editor: change the station, its level, the amount made and the resources of any recipe, mods'

recipes too. You can also create a recipe for an item that has none. Valheim 1.0's upgrade-only resources (taken only by the upgrade station) are shown apart, with an explanation.

• Drop editor: each creature's drops, with amounts and chances.
• Search box under the tabs finds panel functions and every item, creature and effect, including mods' ones.

It searches by name, key, description, numbers (=fire>20; weight<5), mod (@) and names in other languages (~). A click opens the result; for items and creatures, +1 gives or spawns one.

• Favourites: right-click a switch or button to pin it to a bar under the tabs.
• Reload systems: re-reads and re-applies every rule and list without restarting the game.
• Main menu: recipes, stack rules and whole-game rules can be edited before loading a world.
• Mod tabs API: other mods can add their own tab without referencing this DLL (see ADMINMENU_TAB_API.md in

the source).

• Modpack lock: a modpack author can set Access.PanelLocked = true. Players who get the pack then cannot open

the panel until they unlock it for themselves (Access.UnlockedFor).

Controls

• F7, or the arrow at the screen edge, opens the panel. Esc closes it. The key is General.Hotkey in the

config.

• Hover any item to see what it does, which command it runs and why it is greyed out.
• Dangerous actions (kill all, reset character, delete in radius, ban) need a second press within 4 seconds.

Requirements and install

• Valheim 1.0.17 or newer, with BepInExPack_Valheim.
• Install with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager. To install by hand, copy AdminMenu.dll to

Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.

• Config: BepInEx/config/chistix.adminmenu.cfg (settings from local.valheim.adminmenu.cfg of versions before 0.9.1 are copied over once).
• General.Language: Auto (Russian for a Russian game, English for any other language), English or

Russian.

• The config also holds the panel side, size and width.

Multiplayer

• Install on the host or dedicated server and on every player who should use the panel.
• Cheats work the vanilla way: the host has them. Other players get them when the host ticks them in Server →

Players and rights. They then need AdminMenu installed too.

• While any rule is active, the server lets in only players with the same AdminMenu version. Update the host and

all players together.

Compatibility

• Optional soft links, no hard dependencies:
• Jotunn: used to name the mod an item comes from in search;
• WackysDatabase: its commands get their own page;
• ValheimUnified: old drop rules are moved over from it.
• Rules write straight into the game's own data (Recipe, CharacterDrop, container sizes) once, with no per-frame

patches. Mods that rewrite the same recipes or drops after AdminMenu win.

Troubleshooting

• The log is BepInEx/LogOutput.log. AdminMenu lines are marked Admin Menu.
• If items look wrong after changing rules, press Reload systems in the panel header.

Uninstall

• Remove AdminMenu.dll. World rules stay in the world as unused global keys (adminmenu_*) and do nothing

without the mod. Whole-game rules are in BepInEx/config/AdminMenu.game-rules.txt.

По-русски

Админ-панель с галочками вместо консоли F7:

• спавн, эффекты, телепорты, поиск локаций;
• права игрокам без перезапуска;
• правила для мира или для всей игры;
• редакторы рецептов и дропа;
• поиск по всем предметам, существам и эффектам: по названию, ключу, описанию, числам (=огонь>20), моду (@)

и другому языку (~).
