Spawning items on my dedicated server

I can't seem to get items to spawn on my dedicated server. I've added my ID to the adminlist file on my server. I've enabled devcommands, but it if type in say "spawn Coins 100" it tells me "spawn is not a valid command in this context."

I'm just trying to spawn in some food for me and my buddies so we don't have to waste time gathering ingredients. We all work and have limited time to play, so I figured that would save some time.

I could always go to my own, solo world and bring food back from there, but I'm just wondering if I can do it all on the dedicated server.

For most of the devcommands, you only need it client-side. It only needs to be applied to the server for devcommands that deal with time/timing and raid events.

Though, yeah, reading the directions is always a good idea in general anyways.

So I've done a bit of research and still can't really figure out how to get it on the server. Is there a simple solution to doing that? I assume I download the file and drop it into a specific folder on the server?

EDIT: Would that also require putting BepInEx on the server?

Copy the entire modded bepinex folder and paste it into the main Valheim dedicated server folder. When updates happen, copy and paste those in manually too.

into here:
\Valheim dedicated server\

so it becomes:
\Valheim dedicated server\BepInEx

Yes, BepinEx provides the framework that allows mods to patch into Unity-based games and servers (like Valheim) and is a prerequisite for most such mods.

Devcommands do not work on dedicated servers, period, without a mod - it's only available for single-player or when acting as the host of a multiplayer map through the client. Adding someone to the admin list just means that they have the power to kick or ban other players, among a few other things.

You said without a mod? If you don't mind me asking, which mod might help with this?

Server devcommands[valheim.thunderstore.io]

Updated just a couple of weeks ago. Just remember that the game is still being worked on - any given mod could break on any given update and IG/CS has no responsibility on making sure they stay compatible.
