Admin Commands for Don’t Starve Together
Using commands in Don’t Starve Together is an easy process.
You can use them from your client’s console in the main menu, in your server’s Console, such as the one we provide here at Nodecraft with Nodepanel, and finally in-game.
If you wish to use commands in-game, you’ll need to be made an admin of your server. Check out our other guide on how to make yourself and admin in-game.
Open the Console
For both the client main menu and in-game, to open the console so you can enter commands, press the tilde ~ key on your keyboard. It can be found just above the tab TAB key.
For the server console here at Nodecraft, you just need to go to the Console tab on the left-hand side.
We have the identifying information of a player joining the server crossed out in the screenshot below.
