Frequently Asked Questions

Which game is the Birthday Candle from?

The Birthday Candle is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

What is the GFI code for the Birthday Candle?

The GFI code for the Birthday Candle is PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

What do the numbers in the Birthday Candle spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 0 0, the code identifies the Birthday Candle, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Birthday Candle.

What's the full blueprint path of the Birthday Candle?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle.PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle.PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

How do I give myself the Birthday Candle with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 0 0. That gives you one Birthday Candle instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

What's the Birthday Candle class name?

The class name for the Birthday Candle is PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

Is the Birthday Candle spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Birthday Candle's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.

How do I spawn the Birthday Candle as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).

How do I spawn a higher-quality Birthday Candle?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Birthday Candle. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

How do I open the console to spawn the Birthday Candle?

On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Birthday Candle spawn code from this page.

Does the Birthday Candle spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Birthday Candle then spawns the same way.

Is the Birthday Candle blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle.PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

Why isn't my Birthday Candle spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_BirthdayCandle 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
