The Forest Item IDs and How to Spawn Items With Console Commands

A complete The Forest console reference covering developer-mode activation, single-item and bulk commands, common item IDs, story-item scope and spawn troubleshooting.

The Forest uses numeric item IDs with four primary console commands: additem puts one item in your inventory, spawnitem drops one item on the ground near you, removeitem removes an item from your inventory, and the bulk commands add or remove whole groups. To enable them, type developermodeon on the title screen, then press F1 in a game to open or hide the developer console.

The reference range most commonly documented is item ID 29 through 310, but it contains gaps, alternate names, story entries and IDs that have no usable item. Use the exact number from the table below, and treat a failed spawn as a possible ID or item limitation rather than automatically as a syntax error.

How do you activate The Forest console?

The developer console must be enabled before any item command can work. Activation happens from the title screen, not from inside a save.

  1. At the title screen, type developermodeon.
  2. Start or load a game.
  3. Press F1 to toggle the console.
  4. Enter a command followed by a space and the numeric item ID, then press Enter.

The activation command does not use a visible text field on the title screen; type it directly while that screen is active. If F1 does not show the console, return to the title screen, enter developermodeon again, load the game and retry.

Which command should you use?

The four single-item commands differ by destination and reversibility. Select the command before selecting an ID.

Command Result Best use What it does not do
additem <item ID> Adds one identified item to your inventory. Getting an item for immediate use without searching the map. It does not place a physical pickup on the ground.
spawnitem <item ID> Places one identified item on the ground near your character. Creating a visible world object or pickup. It does not guarantee that every item type can be spawned.
removeitem <item ID> Removes the identified item from your inventory. Undoing an item added with additem. It does not remove a world object already dropped by spawnitem.
addallitems Adds non-story items in bulk. Quickly filling inventory with ordinary equipment and supplies. It excludes story items.
addallstoryitems Adds story items in bulk. Obtaining key story objects, including keycards. It is not a replacement for a precise non-story item command.
removeallitems Removes inventory items in the ordinary-item group. Clearing a large set of non-story items. It is not the same as removing story items.
removeallstoryitems Removes story items from inventory. Undoing a bulk story-item grant. It does not clear ordinary supplies.
spawnallpickups Respawns pickup items. Restoring pickup objects in the world. It does not simply fill your inventory with every item.

For a single item, additem is the most predictable choice because the result goes directly to inventory. Use spawnitem when the physical object matters. Bulk commands save typing but give up precision and have separate story-item scopes.

What are The Forest item IDs?

An item ID is the number placed after additem, spawnitem or removeitem. The following quick reference combines the commonly used entries. Names are normalized where lists use aliases; the number is the value that matters.

The two documented entries for Energy Mix (100 and 213) illustrate why an ID list should be treated as a version-sensitive reference rather than a perfect one-to-one name index. If one entry does not produce the expected result, try the other documented number or use the inventory command instead of a ground spawn.

How to spawn a specific item

Once the console is active, replace <item ID> with the number from the table. Do not type the angle brackets.

  1. Stand where you want the object to appear if you are using spawnitem.
  2. Press F1 and enter the command in lowercase.
  3. Use a single space between the command and number.
  4. Press Enter and look at the ground near your character for a spawned pickup, or open your inventory for an additem result.
  5. Repeat the command for each separate item unless a bulk command meets your needs.

Useful examples

  • additem 44 adds the Flare Gun to inventory.
  • spawnitem 44 places a Flare Gun on the ground nearby.
  • additem 51 adds a Flashlight.
  • additem 54 adds Rope.
  • additem 180 adds the Katana.
  • additem 230 adds the Flintlock Pistol.
  • additem 261 adds the Chainsaw.
  • additem 306 adds the Crossbow.
  • additem 307 adds Crossbow Bolts.

Use removeitem with the same number if you need to remove an inventory copy. For example, removeitem 54 removes Rope from inventory; it is not a command for deleting a rope object that is already lying in the world.

How do the bulk item commands work?

Adding ordinary items

addallitems grants non-story items. It is useful when you want a broad set of supplies and equipment without entering dozens of IDs, but it deliberately does not include story objects.

Adding story items

addallstoryitems handles the separate story-item group. Keycards are an example of a story object, so use this command when your goal is to obtain story progression items in bulk rather than ordinary equipment.

Removing groups

removeallitems removes ordinary inventory items, while removeallstoryitems removes story items. Their separate scopes let you clear one category without assuming the other has also been changed.

Respawning world pickups

spawnallpickups is for pickup respawning. It repopulates pickup objects in the world and should not be confused with either inventory-grant command.

Why does spawnitem sometimes do nothing?

A command that produces no visible object is not always a typing mistake. The documented item lists include IDs marked N/A, and the official wiki notes that some item types do not work with spawn commands. It also records restrictions affecting different arrow types and reports that sticky bombs may not be addable.

Check the ID and alias

Confirm that the number is in the documented range and that you did not substitute an item name for its number. Names such as “Spear” versus “Weak Spear” and “Cloth” versus “Fabric” are aliases; the command still requires the numeric ID. For Energy Mix, two documented IDs exist, so try the alternate entry if one fails.

Try inventory placement

If the object does not need to appear physically, retry with additem. An item may be valid for inventory placement but unavailable as a ground-spawn object. This is the quickest way to distinguish a spawn limitation from a bad ID.

HUANUO FlowLift™ Dual Monitor Stand, Fully Adjustable Gaming Monitor Desk Mount for 13–32″ Computer Screens, Full Motion VESA 75x75/100x100 with C-Clamp & Grommet Base, Each Arm Holds 4.4 to 19.8 lbs
  • Compatible with Wide Screens - To ensure compatibility with the dual monitor mount, your each monitor must meet three conditions at the same time: First, computer screens size range: 13 to 32 inches. Second, screen weight range: 4.4 to 19.8 lbs. Third, the back of the monitor screen must have VESA mounting holes with a pitch of 75x75mm or 100x100mm.
  • Regarding the compatibility with desks - Your desk must meet three conditions at the same time: First, desk material: Only wooden desks are recommended, plastic or glass desks cannot be used. Second, desk thickness range: 0.59" - 3.54". Third, the bottom of the desk should not have any cross beams or panels, as this will interfere with installation. We recommend carefully checking that your desk and monitors meets all above conditions before purchasing.
  • Dual C-Clamp Hold - Worried your dual monitors might wobble or slip? Our upgraded base uses a larger platform plus a dual C-clamp structure to lock the dual monitor arm firmly to your desk. Each arm safely keeps your screens steady while you type, click and game—no shaking, no sliding, just a clean and secure setup you can trust every day.

The monitor stand offers +85°/-50° tilt, ±90° swivel and 360° rotation. Raise your monitor up to 15.75″ to support a healthy sitting posture. Whether you’re working from home, gaming through the night, or switching between video calls and documents, getting the screens to your natural line of sight helps relieve neck, shoulder and back strain so you can stay focused longer with less fatigue.
  • Keep Your Desk Organized: By lifting both screens off the desktop, this dual monitor stand opens up valuable space for your keyboard, notebook, docking station or a simple, clutter-free work area. Built-in cable management guides wires along the arms, keeping cords out of sight and out of the way. Enjoy a tidy, modern workstation that looks as good as it feels to use.

Check for an N/A entry

An ID marked N/A has no attached item. No command variation can create an object from such an entry; choose a different documented ID.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Separate story and ordinary scopes

If you used addallitems and expected a keycard or another story object, nothing is necessarily broken: that command excludes story items. Use addallstoryitems instead, or enter the specific story-item ID.

Verify console activation

Return to the title screen and repeat developermodeon, then load the save and press F1. A command typed without an active developer console cannot produce the expected result.

Account for game version and mode

Item references and command behavior can change with patches or differ by mode and platform. The documented 29–310 range is a practical reference, not a promise that every number behaves identically in every installation. If a previously working command stops responding after an update, retest the ID with additem and consult a current list for that version.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Typing developermodeon after loading the save instead of at the title screen.
  • Forgetting to press F1 to open the console.
  • Using an item name, a table row number or a quantity where the command expects one numeric ID.
  • Expecting spawnitem to put an item in inventory.
  • Expecting addallitems to include story objects.
  • Using removeitem to delete a pickup on the ground.
  • Treating a failed special-item spawn as proof that every command is disabled.
  • Assuming every number between 29 and 310 is a valid item; the range has gaps and N/A entries.

A practical decision guide

Your goal Command Reason
One item immediately usable from inventory additem <ID> Direct inventory placement is the least ambiguous result.
One visible pickup beside your character spawnitem <ID> Creates the world object when that item type supports spawning.
Undo one inventory grant removeitem <ID> Targets the same item number in inventory.
Most ordinary equipment and supplies addallitems Fast, but excludes story items.
Story objects such as keycards addallstoryitems Uses the story-item scope.
Clear ordinary inventory in bulk removeallitems Removes the ordinary-item group.
Clear story inventory in bulk removeallstoryitems Removes the story-item group.
Restore pickups in the environment spawnallpickups Respawns pickup objects rather than granting inventory.

What to remember about The Forest item IDs

  1. Enable the developer console with developermodeon on the title screen, then press F1.
  2. Use additem for inventory, spawnitem for a nearby ground object and removeitem for inventory removal.
  3. Most references use IDs from 29 to 310, but the range contains gaps, aliases, story entries and unusable values.
  4. High-demand IDs include 44 for the Flare Gun, 51 for the Flashlight, 54 for Rope, 180 for the Katana, 230 for the Flintlock Pistol, 261 for the Chainsaw and 306 for the Crossbow.
  5. If spawnitem fails, check activation and the ID, try additem, and consider whether the item type, patch or mode has a documented limitation.
