Every Vintage Story command worth knowing, split the way the game itself splits them: client commands start with a dot and only affect you; server commands start with a slash and change the world. Gamemodes, time and weather, the full /serverconfig and /worldconfig sets, plus WorldEdit basics.
Open chat: press T (or / / . to open it with that prefix already typed).
Dot vs slash. . commands are client-side — camera, rendering, UI, your local view. / commands are server-side — they change the world, players, or config.
Admin is a role, not a checkbox. Single-player owners and self-host hosts already have the admin role. On a dedicated server, grant it with /op [playername]. To build and fly freely, switch yourself with /gamemode 2 (creative) — there's no "allow cheats" world toggle.
/gamerule — that's a Minecraft thing. The equivalent is /worldconfig (death penalty, hostility, HUD/map access, regen). And mind the prefix: .time / .weather only read values; /time / /weather change them. Test world and time commands on a throwaway world first — the wiki says the same.Type to filter, hit Copy, paste in-game. 61 commands. Placeholders in [brackets] are values you fill in.

/worldconfig for the same job: death penalty (deathPunishment drop|keep), creature hostility, whether the coordinate HUD and map are allowed, regen speed, and so on. Set them live on the current world.admin. Then /gamemode 2 (creative) lets you fly, place any block and stop dying. On a dedicated server, someone has to /op you first.. (dot) is client-only — camera, rendering, your local view. / (slash) is server — it changes the world, players, or config. .time reads the time; /time set changes it. Wrong prefix and nothing happens./giveitem [itemcode] [quantity] [player] for items, /giveblock [blockcode] [quantity] [player] for blocks (admin). Leave the player argument off to give to yourself./we on (you need the privilege). Then /we ms marks a start corner, /we me the end, and /we mfill fills the selection with your selected hotbar block. /we undo has your back. The .we client command just opens the toolbar — it doesn't grant edit rights.Console open? Here's the rest of the toolkit.
