7 Days to Die: Zombie and spawn commands

In 7 Days to Die, killall clears zombies with one command, and according to the game's own help text it does not touch players. If you want a challenge, spawnw h calls a wandering horde and spawnscouts calls screamer zombies. Air drops and supply crates also come by command. To pick zombies or animals one by one, turn on debug mode with dm and use the entity menu on F6.

Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.

Zombie and spawn commands: Common questions

What is the kill zombies cheat in 7 Days to Die?
Type killall in the console and every enemy dies. To clear animals too, type killall alive. According to the game's own help text the command does not kill players; old guides say otherwise, so type help killall to check your version.
How do you spawn zombies?
The easiest way is debug mode: Type dm in the console, close the console and press F6. Pick the entity you want from the list that opens. If you prefer commands, spawnw h brings a wandering horde and spawnscouts brings screamer zombies.
When is the next wandering horde coming?
Type shownexthordetime in the console to see when the next wandering horde is due. The command shows the hordes that roam the map, not the blood moon horde.
Why does spawnwh from old guides not work?
The command was renamed in the current version. Wandering hordes are now called with spawnwandering h or its short form spawnw h.
