HexDevTools

HexDevTools adds an in-game developer tools panel to Valheim, providing quick access to common developer commands through a simple UI.

Features

• Toggle the DevTools panel with a configurable hotkey (default: F8)
• Enable devcommands and debugmode
• Quick access to common developer commands:
  • No Build Cost
  • Fly
  • Free Fly
  • God Mode
  • Day Time
  • Night Time
  • Reset Time of Day
• Spawn prefabs with autocomplete
• Close the panel with the Close button, F8, Esc, or by clicking outside the panel
• Uses Valheim-style UI through Jötunn

Dedicated Servers

Valheim restricts many developer commands on dedicated servers.

To use HexDevTools on a dedicated server, install Server Devcommands by JereKuusela on both the server and client, and ensure your Steam ID / PlayFab ID is listed in the server's adminlist.txt file.

HexDevTools provides a UI for developer commands but does not bypass Valheim's built-in server restrictions.

Default Hotkey

F8

The hotkey can be changed in the configuration file.
