About

Sand is a common resource found in sandy areas near water on most maps. It serves as a ingredient in a variety of crafting recipes and is often needed in bulk for industrial-scale production.

Spawn it on your server using its GFI code. Sand stacks in your inventory, so you can accumulate it quickly for large projects without inventory management headaches. Like most basic resources, it respawns naturally at its collection points, so you can also direct players to harvest it themselves when you need to seed supply or teach resource farming.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Sand?
In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Sand spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
What is the Sand?
A basic resource gathered from beaches and riverbeds, used in crafting and industrial recipes across the ARK.
Is the Sand blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Sand.PrimalItemResource_Sand'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
What is the blueprint path for the Sand?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Sand.PrimalItemResource_Sand'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Sand.PrimalItemResource_Sand'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Can I get the Sand without spawning it?
Yes. The Sand can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.
What do the numbers in the Sand spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0, the code identifies the Sand, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Sand.
What is the Sand used for?
Sand is a common resource found in sandy areas near water on most maps. It serves as a ingredient in a variety of crafting recipes and is often needed in bulk for industrial-scale production.
How do I add the Sand to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.
What is the GFI code for the Sand?
The GFI code for the Sand is PrimalItemResource_Sand. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What's the Sand class name?
The class name for the Sand is PrimalItemResource_Sand_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.
How do I spawn the Sand as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 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).
What is the Sand class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Sand by its class PrimalItemResource_Sand_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_Sand. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Can I spawn the Sand over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
Is the Sand spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Sand'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 a higher-quality Sand?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Sand. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
How do I open the console to spawn the Sand?
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 Sand spawn code from this page.
Does the Sand 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 Sand then spawns the same way.
When was the Sand data last updated?
The Sand entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.
How do I spawn multiple Sand at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Sand. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What is the admin command to spawn the Sand?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0. That gives you one Sand 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.
Where can I copy the Sand spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Sand command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
Which game is the Sand from?
The Sand 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's the difference between the Sand GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemResource_Sand is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Sand.PrimalItemResource_Sand'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Sand.
Why isn't my Sand spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemResource_Sand), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sand 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
