How to Kick and Ban Players on Your The Forest Server

Kick and ban players on a The Forest server

2 min read
Jul 30, 2026

On a The Forest server you remove players with chat commands inside the game. What you always enter is the player's SteamID64 – a 17-digit number starting with 7656.

Use commands in the game

  1. Join as an admin
    Enter the admin password when joining, otherwise the commands are ignored.

  2. Open the chat
    Press Enter in the game to open the chat.

  3. Enter a command
    All admin commands start with /, for example:

    /ban 76561198012345678
    

Kick a player

/kick <SteamID64>

The player is disconnected from the server but can rejoin at any time.

Ban a player

/ban <SteamID64>

The player is kicked from the server and can no longer connect.

Remove a ban

/unban <SteamID64>
