If you’re playing in a multi-player mode and items don’t spawn, the server you’re playing on most likely doesn’t allow cheats. In this case, find another server or create a server on your own and enable cheats.

Finally, if you’re trying to spawn workshop or modded items, the IDs could be overlapping with official item IDs. Item IDs can be changed only by the item’s creator. If you’re the creator, change it through the mod folder on your computer.

What Are Items IDs in Unturned?

Every item in Unturned has a unique number. Ordinary items from the official game version have IDs that start with “2” and up to “2000.”

Modded and workshop items generally have IDs above 2000, however, they are set by item creators and may vary. Sometimes, official item and workshop item IDs overlap – this can only be fixed by item creators. The full list of official item IDs, as well as the most common modded item IDs, can be found here.
