Your 7 Days to Die server takes the game's own admin commands, typed straight into your dashboard. Here are the ones worth knowing, and how to find the rest.

Where to type them

Open the Console tab while the server is running, type a command and press Enter. The console is connected to the game itself, so a command runs on your server straight away and its answer shows underneath. You don't need to be in the game or be an admin to use it.

Commands that act on a player, like kick or give, need that player to be online. Most take a player's name, or the entity id that lpi lists.

Players and moderation

CommandWhat it does
lpLists the players who are on (listplayers in full).
lpiLists every player with their ids, for commands that need one.
kick <name> [reason]Kicks a player, with an optional reason.
kickall [reason]Kicks everyone.
ban add <name> <duration> <unit> [reason]Bans a player for a while, for example ban add Sam 2 days "Griefing". Units are minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.
ban remove <name>Lifts a ban.
ban listShows every ban and when it ends.
admin add <name> <level>Gives a player a permission level. 0 is a full admin.
whitelist add <name>Adds a player to the whitelist.

Banning, admins and the whitelist each have more to them: 7 Days to Die admins, bans and whitelist covers them, offline players included.

Talking to players

CommandWhat it does
say "message"Sends a message to everyone on the server.
pm <name> <message>Sends a private message to one player (sayplayer in full).

Items and teleporting

Warning

cm turns the creative menu on and dm turns the debug menu on, and typing either again turns it off. Leave them off unless you mean to use them.

Warning

shutdown saves the world and stops the server, the same as Stop in your dashboard. To bring it back up, use Start or Restart in your dashboard.
