How do I change difficulty or cheat in Enshrouded?

Use the difficulty preset. Pick Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival, or — for full control — Custom. Custom unlocks every multiplier: enemy health and damage, XP and loot, durability off, peaceful mode, and more. On a dedicated server these live in enshrouded_server.json. One catch: the multipliers only apply on the Custom preset — set a named preset and your tuning is silently ignored.

Is there a god mode or item spawn command in Enshrouded?

No — because there's no console, there's no god, spawn, additem or fly command. The closest you get is the Custom difficulty levers: turn on peaceful mode (pacifyAllEnemies), crank player health, switch durability off, and raise the resource-drop multiplier. That's the only built-in 'cheat-like' control.

Enshrouded Console Commands — Why There Are None & What to Use Instead (2026)

Q: Does Enshrouded have console commands?

No. As of 2026, Enshrouded has no in-game console, no slash-commands, and no cheat commands — and unlike many Early Access survival games, the developers haven't promised one either. It's a deliberate design choice. The way you change the game is through the difficulty settings, not a command line.

Q: Is Enshrouded moddable?

There's no official mod support — the game shipped without it by design. A small community scene exists on Nexus Mods (Cheat Engine tables, an experimental mod loader for uncapped settings and XP tweaks), but it's all unofficial, single-player/private only, and can break with every patch. Back up your saves.

The Settings That Do the Job of "Cheats"

Enshrouded's only built-in "cheat-like" controls are its difficulty multipliers. Pick a preset at world creation — Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival — or choose Custom to unlock the full grid. These are the dials that get you closer to god mode, infinite loot, or a peaceful run.

What you want	The lever (Custom preset)
God-mode-ish / tanky	High playerHealthFactor + enableDurability off
No enemies / peaceful	pacifyAllEnemies (full peaceful mode)
Easier fights	Low enemyDamageFactor / enemyHealthFactor (+ boss versions)
Tons of loot	High resourceDropStackAmountFactor
Fast levelling	The three XP factors — combat / mining / exploration-quests
Keep gear on death	tombstoneMode → NoTombstone
No hunger / no gear wear	enableStarvingDebuff off · enableDurability off

The one trap: these multipliers only apply on the Custom preset. Pick a named preset (Default/Hard/etc.) and any values you set are silently ignored. If your tuning "isn't working," this is almost always why.

Don't hand-edit the JSON — generate it

All of these live in enshrouded_server.json on a dedicated server. Our Enshrouded server config generator turns every lever into a slider and hands you a ready-to-paste file, and the settings explained page covers the recommended value for each one.

"Admin Commands" on a Server — It's Passwords, Not Commands

Searching for Enshrouded admin commands? There aren't any to type. A dedicated server has a role system, and you become admin by the password you connect with — not by entering a command in-game.

Role	What they can do
Admin	Full control — kick/ban, edit the base & world, all chests. (The Admin password grants it.)
Friend	Build + chest access, but no kick/ban.
Guest	Explore only.

Under the hood the permissions are config keys — canKickBan, canAccessInventories, canEditBase, canExtendBase, canEditWorld — and you can define up to 10 roles. Set them in enshrouded_server.json; full breakdown on the settings page.

Set your Admin password. All role passwords are blank by default — an empty Admin password means anyone who joins can act as admin. Fill it in before you open the server up.

📅

Will Enshrouded Ever Get a Console?

Maybe — but not today. Enshrouded is in Early Access (currently v0.9.1.x "Forging the Path", the final major EA update before 1.0). A console could theoretically arrive at or after 1.0, but none exists now, and Keen hasn't announced one.

We'll update this page if that changes. Currency is the whole point — if a 1.0 build adds a real console or cheat commands, this page gets the commands and a fresh date. Until then, the difficulty levers above are the honest answer.
