About

The cheat Kill command terminates the life of the player who runs it or, if used with a target crosshair reticle on a creature, kills that creature instantly. No inventory is dropped, no death animations play, and no experience or taming progress is lost, the entity simply ceases to exist.

This is useful for removing stuck creatures, testing respawn mechanics, or cleaning up unwanted tames without the mess of combat. Because it requires cheat mode, only admins and whitelisted console users can execute it. Use it to bypass normal survival mechanics when administrative action is needed.
