Valheim cheating

Greetings

Is there a way to stop players adding stuff to their inventory by using the console without banning them? I've put a server up to play with my friends, but two of them are always using the console to add themselves items. it just ruins the progress and the fun for the rest of the players.

hope you can help, thanks a lot

All hail to Odin

Just ban them if it's a big deal to you. Your server, your rules. Simple.

You've asked, they do it anyway, obviously they don't care about keeping the game fun/balanced with the rest of the players. Toss 'em, they can go start their own server and cheat together.

They joined agreeing to play fair, broke their promises, and completely disrespect you and everyone else involved. Those aren't friends, they aren't trustworthy people.

While this is correct for purely vanilla servers - anti cheat mods do exist.

For example, https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/269.

Features:
Anti-Fly/Speed
Admin Bypass
Anti-Debug Mode
Anti-Damage Boosting Hacks
Kick or Ban on Trigger

Planned Features:
Anti-Item Spawn
Chat Filters
Anti-Ghost Mode
Dedicated Server Support
Mod Blacklist

Would like to see a mod which would check your inventory on logout and again on login to prevent the going to alternate worlds to fill up on stuff.

Those aren't friends. If they can't stay within the norms of the majority, blacklist them.
