About

EnableCheats activates cheat mode on your server, allowing you to run commands that would otherwise be blocked. You must provide your ServerAdminPassword, the same password configured in your server settings, as the command argument.

Once cheats are enabled, you can use the full suite of admin commands like GiveItem, Summon, SetTimeOfDay, and others. This command is useful when you need to perform administrative tasks during gameplay or testing. The effect persists until you restart the server or disable cheats through other means.
