Starbound PC Cheat Codes

In admin mode, commands can be used by typing a / followed by the keyword for the command. Admin mode can be toggled on and off using the command /admin.

On multiplayer servers, there are several settings that can block players from gaining admin privileges.

Note: These commands are executed from the chat. Some of them do not work or are broken, however, the majority of them do work, although they may require some trial and error to use properly.

Command	Description
/admin	Enables or disables admin mode, which enables all crafting recipes, prevents damage or energy loss, and allows access to admin-only commands.
/aiaction	Usage /aiaction actionJson. Perform a SAIL action. Example of unlocking a tech: /aiaction {“action” : “showTech”, “techName” : [ “humanhoverbike” ]}
/aicommand	Usage /aicommand commandName. Executes the specified predefined AI command.
/aimessage	Usage /aimessage messageId. Triggers the player to receive the AI message with the specified id.
/cinema	Usage /cinema cinematicPath. Plays the specified cinematic for testing.
/clearaimessages	Resets all history of received AI messages, allowing the player to see these messages again.
/clearstagehand	Despawns any stagehands with broadcast areas containing or positions close to the current cursor position.
/coordinate	Displays the current coordinate of the world you are on or orbiting.
/disableSpawning	Disables automatic monster spawning planet-wide until you leave the planet or logout.
/enableSpawning	Re-enables automatic monster spawning.
/entityeval	Usage /entityeval <lua>. Evaluates given script in the context of the closest scripted entity to the cursor.
/eval	Usage /eval <lua>. Evaluates given lua in script processor context.
/fixedcamera	Toggle locking the camera’s position; camera will not scroll. (May cause sectors not to spawn and monsters to spawn right next to or on top of you if offscreen. Useful for recorded demonstrations.)
/fullbright	Toggle disabling the lighting engine and show everything.
/gravity	Display the gravity at the player’s position.
/help	Shows a list of commands. Use /help commandName to get detailed documentation. Available commands are: %s.
/itemid	Displays item information in chat and the log.
/naked	Remove all gear. Useful in macros to give a character new gear replacing the existing gear, or you know, for fun.
/played	Displays how long you’ve played this character.
/reload	Reloads your local, client side assets. Will cause lag as they are reparsed.
/resetgravity	Undoes /setgravity. Begin using server gravity again.
/setgravity	Usage /setgravity level. Sets your local gravity to the level specified. Standard gravity is 80. Negative values will make you fall up but you can’t jump from your head. This change is local only, and looks pretty heinous on a server, because it screws very heavily with delta prediction.
/setspawnpoint	Sets the default spawn (beam down) point on the current world to your character’s position.
/settileprotection	Usage /settileprotection dungeonID [true or false]. Set a dungeon’s tile protection to true (unbreakable) or false (breakable). You can see the dungeon ID in /debug mode.
/snapshot	Usage /snapshot <file> xsize ysize. Render the view of the world centered on the player with x and y size, and store to the given sbscene file.
/spawngun	Usage /spawngun level [kind]. Spawn a randomized gun with the given level.
/spawnitem	Usage /spawnitem itemName [count] [variantParameters]. Spawn the specified item at the mouse cursor. If the item does not exist it will spawn aPerfectly Generic Item. Variant parameters are parameters passed to the item’s constructor. They are specified as JSON surrounded by single quotes.
/debug	Toggle debugging mode. This enables or disables all of the commands below.
/boxes	Toggle the display of collision and sensor debugging polygons.
/clearboxes	Toggle whether or not to clear boxes displayed with /boxes every frame. Useful for determining routes that enemies take, can get messy looking though.
/togglelogmap	Toggle the display of debugging text information on the screen.


/spawnliquid	Usage /spawnliquid liquidName [amount]. Spawn a quantity of liquid at the mouse cursor. If you want to spawn liquid as an item that you loot, use /spawnitem instead.
/spawnmonster	Spawns a specified monster type at the mouse cursor.
/spawnnpc	Spawns an NPC of the specified species and type at the mouse cursor.
/spawnshield	Usage /spawnshield level [kind]. Spawn a randomized shield with the given level. If kind is specified then the shield is limited to that kind (for instance, riotshield). If you want to spawn a non-randomly generated shield use /spawnitem instead.
/spawnstagehand	Usage /spawnstagehand type [parameters]. Spawn a Stagehand of the specified type. If parameters are specified (as a JSON object) they will be merged on top of the default configuration.
/spawnsword	Usage /spawnsword level [kind]. Spawn a randomized sword with the given level.
/spawntreasure	Usage /spawntreasure poolName [level]. Generates contents of a specified treasurepool at the mouse cursor.
/statistics	Displays collected statistics about the player (currently only includes total number of deaths; will be expanded in future versions.
/suicide	Kills the current character, incurring all normal death penalties (including permadeath!). This can be used as a last resort if you are irreversibly stuck.
/timewarp	Usage /timewarp timeInSeconds. Warp time ahead by X amount of seconds.
/togglelayer	Usage /togglelayer [number]. Toggle the visibility of the specified layer.
/showhunger	Usage /showhunger. Displays your hunger bar for several seconds.
