Admin Manager

Manage your Valheim world from an in-game panel: toggle player abilities, run world actions, moderate players, and choose who can use each command.

Press F4 to open the menu. Built with a Valheim-style interface, with separate Commands, Players, Permissions, and Bans tabs.

At a glance

• Player abilities: God, Fly, Ghost, and No Cost.
• Two camera modes: a detached Build Cam and a free-roaming Free Fly camera.
• Player tools: Heal, Repair, Clear Status, Kill, and Respawn.
• World tools: Remove Drops, Tame, Stop Event, Sleep, Kill All, Kill Enemies, and Skip Time.
• Moderation: Kick, Ban, and Unban, with a player list and live 3D preview.
• Permissions: grant individual actions globally or per player, or promote a player to mod Admin.
• Persistent settings: permissions are saved on the server for each world's unique ID.

Commands

Quick access to abilities, camera modes, and world actions.

Players

Select a player, view their character, and apply player actions or moderation tools.

Permissions

Choose which actions everyone can use, then add grants for individual players.

Installation

Requires BepInExPack Valheim. The package declares this dependency for mod managers.

With a mod manager

Install Admin Manager into your Valheim profile, then launch the game through that profile.

Manual installation

With the game or server stopped, copy AdminManager.dll into:

BepInEx/plugins/AdminManager/

Multiplayer

Install the same Admin Manager version on the host or dedicated server and every player who uses the panel. The server handles permission checks and world actions; clients display the panel and apply authorized local effects.

Getting started

1. Load your world and press F4.
2. Use Commands for your own abilities and world actions.
3. Use Players to select a player and manage their abilities or apply moderation actions.
4. Use Permissions to grant actions to everyone or to a selected player.
5. Use Bans to review the ban list and unban players.

The menu shortcut can be changed in the mod's BepInEx configuration.

Permissions and saved settings

The host and Valheim server admins have full access. Other players can receive individual action permissions or be promoted to mod Admin, which grants full access within Admin Manager.

Global permissions apply to everyone. Per-player permissions add access for that player. Removing a per-player grant does not override a permission that is still enabled globally.

Permissions are stored in BepInEx/config/AdminManager/ on the server and restored when the world loads. You can stop playing and continue on the same map later with the same grants. Renaming a world retains its settings; separate worlds with identical names use separate files. Copies of a world that retain its unique ID also retain that identity.

When a permission update removes access to an active ability or camera mode, the mod turns that effect off for non-admin players.

Camera modes and action range

Tool	Behavior
Build Cam	Detaches the camera while your character stays in place. Building and removal are limited to workbench areas; the camera can roam a little beyond them.
Free Fly	Detaches the camera for exploration, without a workbench restriction. Hold Alt and use the scroll wheel to adjust movement speed. Toggle it off to return to your character.
Kill All	Affects non-player creatures within 30 m of the acting player, including tamed creatures.
Kill Enemies	Affects non-player creatures within 30 m, excluding tamed creatures.
Tame	Tames eligible creatures within 20 m of the acting player.
Sleep	Skips to the next morning.

The host is protected from the panel's Kill, Respawn, Kick, and Ban actions.

Initial release — 1.0.0

The first public release includes the Commands, Players, Permissions, and Bans tabs, Build Cam and Free Fly, server-validated actions, and permissions saved by unique world ID.

Troubleshooting

• The menu does not appear: launch the modded profile and check the BepInEx log to confirm Admin Manager loaded. Check the configured menu shortcut.
• A multiplayer action does not work: check that the host/server and affected client have the same mod version installed, and confirm the player's permissions.

Building from source

The project references local Valheim and BepInEx assemblies. Set GameDir and ThunderstoreBepInEx in AdminManager.csproj for your installation, then run:
