How do I open the Rust console to use these commands?

Rust Console Commands

Console commands for the F1 menu or RCON. Source: a community-maintained export of Rust's own generated command metadata - treat this as a helpful reference, not an exhaustive one.

3,590 commands

Command	Description	Category	Type	Default	Permission
`indirect_instancing.streaming_use_min_mip_level`	Disable to set mip levels as requested mip levels, potentially overwriting results of Unity's streaming system.	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.streaming_use_unity_hardcoded_camera_params`	Enable to use hardcoded 60Â° FOV camera parameters that normally only get used when there are no cameras.	indirect_instancing	variable	`False`
`indirect_instancing.streaming_use_vertex_area_scales`	Disable to force all vertex area scales to be 1	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.tc_max_iterations`	Set max iterations for terrain culling. Controls how far the raycasts will walk across the terrain height map	indirect_instancing	variable	`512`
`indirect_instancing.transform_apply_job`	Disable to apply transforms of moving instances synchronously on the main thread	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.update_buffers`	Disable to forcefully prevent the instancing system from updating any GPU buffers	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.use_instance_mask`	Disable to skip distance/LOD culling. This may cause all instances to be culled	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.use_min_mip_level`	(Generated) When enabled, applies a minimum mip level floor to instanced renderer texture streaming calculations; prevents over-sharpening of instance textures at close range	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`indirect_instancing.use_pre_culled_mask`	Disable to ignore pre-culling of underground objects or culling volumes.	indirect_instancing	variable	`True`
`injure`	wounds the player	Admin	None		Yes
`input.ads_sensitivity`	(Generated) Mouse sensitivity multiplier applied when aiming down sights (ADS); typically set lower than base sensitivity for precise aiming	input	variable	`1`
`input.alwayssprint`	(Generated) When enabled, the player always moves at sprint speed without needing to hold the sprint key	input	variable	`False`
`input.autocrouch`	(Generated) When enabled, the player automatically crouches when moving under low ceilings or through tight spaces	input	variable	`False`
`input.bind`	bind <key> <commands> - runs commands whenever the given key (or key combo) is pressed, prefix command lists with ~ to cycle instead	input	client
`input.bind_default`	bind_default <key> <commands> - like bind, but translates the key token from US-QWERTY convention to the active layout. Used by keys_default.cfg so AZERTY/QWERTZ players get sensible binds out of the box	input	client
`input.clearbinds`	(Generated) Resets all key bindings to their defaults, removing any custom bind configurations	input	client
`input.flipy`	(Generated) When enabled, inverts the vertical mouse axis so moving the mouse forward looks down and pulling back looks up	input	variable	`False`
`input.holdtime`	(Generated) Seconds a button must be held before it registers as a hold action rather than a tap; affects hold-to-place and hold-to-interact	input	variable	`0.2`
`input.map_mode`	(Generated) Controls how the in-game map is opened; 0 = hold to view, 1 = toggle open/close	input	variable	`0`
`input.printbinds`	(Generated) Prints all current key bindings to the console, listing each action and the key or button assigned to it	input	client
`input.radial_menu_mode`	(Generated) Controls how the radial action menu is opened; 0 = hold, 1 = toggle; affects crafting and interaction quick menus	input	variable	`0`
`input.sensitivity`	(Generated) Global mouse sensitivity multiplier applied to all look input; higher values make the camera rotate faster	input	variable	`1`
`input.toggleads`	(Generated) When enabled, pressing the aim button toggles ADS on/off rather than requiring the button to be held	input	variable	`False`
`input.toggleduck`	(Generated) When enabled, pressing crouch once toggles crouching on/off rather than requiring the key to be held down	input	variable	`False`
`input.vehicle_flipy`	(Generated) When enabled, inverts the vertical control axis for vehicles; moving the mouse forward pitches the vehicle nose down	input	variable	`False`
`input.vehicle_sensitivity`	(Generated) Mouse sensitivity multiplier applied when operating vehicles such as helicopters and boats	input	variable	`1`
`instruments.clearautoplayoverride`	Clears the overriden autoplay recording of the current instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.clearmidibinds`	Clears any binds for the current instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.debugmidi`	Prints incoming midi notes to the console while using an instrument	instruments	variable	`False`
`instruments.debugnotes`	Prints notes being played	instruments	variable	`False`
`instruments.midiinfo`	Prints out all the notes that can accept midi inputs on the current instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.overrideautoplay`	Override the autoplay recording of the current instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.playnote`	Plays a note on the current instrument. Eg. playnote c#7, playnote d, playnote f#	instruments	client
`instruments.playrecording`	Plays a saved Instrument recording. Arg0 is filename (no extension)	instruments	client
`instruments.printmidibinds`	Prints all current rebinds for the current instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.printrecording`	Prints a debug readout of a recording	instruments	client
`instruments.printrecordingpath`	Prints the path of the autoplay recording for this instrument	instruments	client
`instruments.processsustainpedal`	Enables support for sustain pedals	instruments	variable	`True`
`instruments.rebindmidi`	Rebinds signal A into signal B. eg. rebindMidi 67 48	instruments	client
`instruments.startrecording`	Starts an instrument recording. Must supply a filename (no extension)	instruments	client
`instruments.stoprecording`	Stops the current instrument recording	instruments	client
`inventory.addownership`	Add ownership to item	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.clearinventory`	Clears the inventory of a target player. eg. inventory.clearInventory jim. Can take container names as arguments: --belt --wear --backpack	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.convertownership`	Reduce ownership to item to allow new ownership to be added	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.copyto`	Copies the players inventory to the player in front of them	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.defs`	(Generated) Prints the names of all Steam inventory item definitions currently loaded from the Steam backend; useful for verifying skin/item definition state	inventory	client
`inventory.deleteloadout`	(Generated) Deletes a named admin loadout file from the server; requires admin or developer permissions; loadout name is passed as the first argument	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.deployloadout`	Deploys the given loadout to a target player. eg. inventory.deployLoadout testloadout jim	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.deployloadoutinrange`	Deploys a loadout to players in a radius eg. inventory.deployLoadoutInRange testloadout 30	inventory	server		Admin
`inventory.disableattirelimitations`	Disables all attire limitations, so NPC clothing and invalid overlaps can be equipped	inventory	variable	`False`	Admin

This is a searchable reference of Rust console and admin commands, covering both commands available to any player and the admin/server-owner-only ones.
