Why Admin Commands Matter đ§
Running a successful Unturned server isnât just about good mods or maps, itâs about control. Admin commands give you the power to manage players, fix problems, and create fun events in seconds.
Whether youâre spawning items, kicking troublemakers, or setting the time of day, knowing the right commands will save you countless hours.
Letâs go through the essentials every server owner should know.
1. Managing Players đ„
Keep your community organised and fair with these quick commands:
| Command | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
/kick [player] [reason] | /kick Alex griefing | Removes a player from the server |
/ban [player] [duration] [reason] | /ban Jamie 2h toxic chat | Temporarily bans a player |
/unban [steamID] | /unban 76561198000000000 | Removes a playerâs ban |
/p [message] | /p Welcome to the server! | Sends a message to all players |
Pro Tip: Always include a reason when banning or kicking. It keeps your admin team transparent and avoids confusion later.
2. Spawning Items and Vehicles đ
Need to test something or reward your players? Use these:
| Command | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
/give [itemID]/[amount] | /give 363 2 | Spawns two Maplestrikes |
/vehicle [vehicleID] | /vehicle 52 | Spawns a vehicle (e.g., Police Car) |
/i [itemName] | /i medkit | Quick item spawn shortcut |
You can find all item and vehicle IDs on the official Unturned Wiki or through Workshop descriptions.
3. Environment Control âïž
Perfect for creating atmosphere or running themed events:
| Command | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
/day or /night | /night | Instantly switches time |
/time [value] | /time 1800 | Sets specific in-game time |
/weather [value] | /weather storm | Changes weather conditions |
Bonus Tip: Use /day before big PvP or RP events so everyone has clear visibility.4. Teleportation and Movement đ§
Get around the map quickly or help stranded players:
| Command | Example | Description |

/tphere [player] | /tphere Chris | Brings another player to your position |

/shutdown | /shutdown | Safely closes the server |
