Enabling Cheats
Once in a world, press F3 on your keyboard. This will bring up a menu, on which you can see
"
  • Disable Console"
    Press F8. This should bring up another menu, showing a mouse. Click the box to the left of "Disable Console" to enable it.


















    Once completed, press F3 and F8 again.
    Then, you can press ~ or Enter to bring up a box in the bottom left that you can type in.


List of Cheats and what they Do
if I put ITEM, that means put the name of desired item. If I put #, put number of desired items. If I put X Y Z, put coordinates.
For the sake of this list, I will NOT include event commands.

Thanks bro! This really helped me to try and do cheats on PC, If u wanna do console, press the 2 shoulder buttons at the same time, PS4 and 5, XBOX, Switch, Steam Deck, and some others that i dunno about, press the 2 shoulder buttons, like the L and R, and a tab that shows Developer pops up, Thx for the PC commands!!!:steamthumbsup:

For some reason Nintendo demanded that they specifically remove the check box for the Switch release. Because Nintendo is incapable of not pointlessly being a prick for five minutes. Anyway now you access it with either SHIFT + ENTER or SHIFT + ~.
