7 Days to Die Admin & Console Commands — Full List (2026)
7 Days to Die console commands let you manage the server and use admin/creative tools — teleport, set time, give XP, spawn entities and more. Here's the list that matters, with syntax, opened from the F1 console or a telnet/web admin connection.
Press F1 to open the console. On a dedicated server, add your Steam ID to the admin list (via the web/telnet panel or admin add <steamID> <level>, level 0 = highest) so your commands are accepted. Many commands have a short alias shown in brackets.
Players & admin
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
listplayers (lp) | List connected players with IDs and stats. |
kick <name/id> [reason] | Kick a player. |
ban add <name/id> <duration> [reason] | Ban a player for a duration. |
admin add <steamID> <level> | Grant admin (level 0 = highest). |
say <message> | Broadcast a server message. |
saveworld | Force-save the world now. |
shutdown | Cleanly stop the server. |
Teleport & world
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
teleportplayer <name/id> <x y z> | Teleport a player to coordinates (or to another player). |
settime <day> <hour> <min> | Set the in-game time (e.g. settime 10 12 0). |
settime day / night | Quickly set day or night. |
spawnentity <id> <entityID> | Spawn an entity (zombie, animal) at a player. |
spawnairdrop | Trigger a supply airdrop. |
Cheats & creative tools
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
creativemenu (cm) | Toggle the creative menu (spawn any item). |
debugmenu (dm) | Toggle debug mode — flight, god, map teleport, dev tools. |
giveselfxp <amount> | Give yourself experience. |
giveself <item> | Give yourself an item. |
buff <name> / debuff <name> | Apply or remove a buff. |
debugmenu (dm) unlocks flight, god mode, map teleporting and developer tools — one of the most powerful commands in the game. Keep admin level restricted to people you trust. Also note: using settime repeatedly on a live server can break timers and blood-moon events.
