Let’s be real: spending your first ten hours in Craftlings acting as a glorified lumberjack isn’t everyone’s idea of fun. You want to build massive castles and automate magical workshops, not hit rocks with a stick until your stamina bar depletes.

Whether you are stuck trying to find rare Star-Metal Ore or just want to experiment in a pseudo-“Creative Mode,” using Craftlings console commands is the fastest way to bypass the early-game grind.

However, accessing the developer debug menu isn’t straightforward in the release build. Developer PixelForge Games has hidden these tools to ensure multiplayer stability. Below is the complete guide on how to try and force the console open, the essential cheat list, and the safer, easier alternative – XMODhub trainer.

Editor’s Note: The Reality of Crafting Game Cheats

“Like many modern survival-crafters, Craftlings is built on the Unity Engine. In the current Early Access build (v0.8.4), the standard Tilde (~) debug overlay is disabled by default.
While you can try to enable it through launch options (guide below), it’s hit-or-miss. Furthermore, forcing commands like ‘spawn item’ often breaks the game’s intricate crafting progression tree—meaning you might get the item, but not the recipe unlock that should come with it.
At XMODhub, we usually recommend using an external memory trainer for these types of games. It’s cleaner to just toggle ‘Infinite Resources’ than to manually type dozens of item codes.”
Catherine Hu, Senior Modding Specialist at XMODhub

How to Enable the Console in Craftlings (Unity Engine)

If you are determined to access the command line, you can try these standard Unity developer methods:

  1. Steam Launch Options (Easiest):
    1. Right-click Craftlings in your Steam Library > Properties.
    2. In the General tab, find Launch Options.
    3. Type: -console -force-debug.
    4. Launch the game and try pressing Tilde (~) or F1.
  2. Config File Edit (Advanced):
    1. Navigate to the game’s installation folder.
    2. Look for a file named boot.config (usually in the Craftlings_Data folder).
    3. Open it with Notepad and add the line: wait-for-managed-debugger=1.

(Note: If these methods do not bring up the console window, the developer has hard-coded it out of the public release. Skip to the XMODhub Solution below.)

Essential Console Commands List

If you manage to open the debug menu, these are the most useful commands for survival and building.

Survival & Player Cheats

  • god or dmg_godmode 1 – Grants invincibility against monsters and fall damage.
  • refill_stats – Instantly refills Health, Stamina, and Hunger bars.
  • infinite_stamina – Never get tired while sprinting or mining.
  • noclip or fly – Allows you to fly through walls (essential for large builds).

World & Resources

  • give [item_id] [amount] – The most sought-after command. Adds specific items to your inventory (requires Item IDs, see below).
  • set_time [hour] – Changes the time of day (e.g., set_time 12 for noon).
  • instant_build 1 – Removes crafting timers at workbenches.
  • killall – Clears all hostile mobs in the loaded chunk.

Craftlings Item IDs (The Hard Part)

The biggest hurdle with console commands is that you can’t just type “give wood”. You need the specific internal name. These change frequently with updates.

Examples of internal IDs looks like this:

  • Basic Resources: res_wood_oak, res_stone_granite, res_fiber
  • Rare Materials: mat_ingot_starmetal, mat_gem_ruby_polished
  • Tools: tool_pickaxe_t3, tool_axe_t3

(Finding the correct ID for the hundreds of items in Craftlings is tedious. The XMODhub Trainer features a searchable visual menu, so you don’t need to memorize text codes.)

Where is the Save File Located? (Backup First!)

Before experimenting with dangerous commands like killall or mass-spawning items, always backup your world.

  • Windows AppData: C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\LocalLow\PixelForgeGames\Craftlings\Saves\
  • Steam Userdata: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourUserID]\[GameAppID]\remote\

The Risks: Broken Progression & Achievements

Using the developer console is not without consequences in survival games:

  1. Broken Recipes: Spawning a high-tier item directly might prevent you from unlocking the crafting recipe logically, potentially soft-locking your progression.
  2. Achievement Lock: Typing any cheat command usually flags your save file, disabling Steam Achievements permanently for that world.
  3. Multiplayer Bans: Never attempt to open the console on a public server. It will likely result in an automated anti-cheat ban.

The Better Alternative: XMODhub Trainer (No Typing)

Stop alt-tabbing to look up item wiki pages. XMODhub acts as a visual overlay that lets you control the game safely.

FAQ

Q: Can I use console commands in Craftlings multiplayer coop?

A: Usually, no. Console commands are server-side. Unless you are the server host and have admin privileges enabled, they won’t work. XMODhub is recommended for single-player use only.

Q: How do I turn on Creative Mode?

A: There isn’t a single command for “Creative Mode.” You would need to combine god, infinite_stamina, and spawn items manually. The XMODhub Trainer has a single “Creative Mode Toggle” that activates all these features instantly.

Q: Does this work on Steam Deck?

A: Yes. Typing console commands on the Steam Deck virtual keyboard is painful. The XMODhub Trainer works in Desktop Mode and offers a much easier touchscreen-friendly interface.

Conclusion: Build Smarter, Not Harder

Craftlings is a fantastic game of creativity, but sometimes the resource grind gets in the way of your vision. You shouldn’t have to risk corrupting your 50-hour world save just to get a few extra stacks of stone.

Instead of struggling with unstable console commands and hunting down Item IDs, try the XMODhub Trainer.
