Sons of The Forest
Admins on a Sons of the Forest server can use in-game commands like godmode, superjump, and item spawning to help manage the game and troubleshoot issues. Granting admin access is done by editing a single whitelist file on your server. This guide walks you through it.
Always make sure your server is completely stopped on your MintServers panel before editing the whitelist file. Editing files while the server is running can cause your changes to be lost or ignored.
Step 1: Finding a Steam64 ID
Before editing the server files, you will need the exact Steam64 ID for each player you want to make an admin. This is a long 17-digit number unique to their Steam account.
You can easily find a Steam64 ID by copying the player's Steam profile link and pasting it into an online Steam ID lookup tool such as steamid.io. It will usually start with the numbers 7656...
Step 2: Editing the Owners Whitelist File
serverconfig folder, then open the ownerswhitelist.txt file:📁 server (your main server directory)
📁 serverconfig
