Avorion has numerous commands available to administrators and server owners. These commands offer various functions, such as server settings, player management, or spawning items. While using console commands is slightly less intuitive than the DevMode menu, some exclusive functions must be done with commands. Users can get the most coverage for settings by using both the Dev Menu and console commands.
Requirement: Console commands can only be used by admins and may require DevMode.
