List of client commands

This page was last verified for Vintage Story version 1.15.

Commands offer advanced features and configuration abilities for your game. There are really 2 lists of commands - Client and Server. The client is what displays your game on the screen, plays the sounds, takes in your controls and lets you connect to a game server (single or multiplayer). Client commands are those that usually just affect the appearance of your game, while server commands allows you to modify the world or configuration of the game.

All commands are typed in the chat window in order to execute them. A client command always starts with a dot ., while a server command always starts with a slash /.
