Do Dropped Items Despawn in Valheim?

Items Do Not Despawn
Odin does not let his resources rot in Valheim! Sadly, items do not despawn even if you leave it on the ground for several days. This could lead to a very messy environment if not controlled!

Do items Despawn Valheim?

If you truly want to get rid of items, there's no way to destroy them, but they can despawn and disappear from your game. Leaving objects outside of the influence of a workbench, like somewhere in the woods or just in a random hole in the ground, will make them disappear over time.

How long until dropped items disappear in Valheim?

In short, to destroy items in Valheim, you have to throw them on the ground away from your base, and they will disappear after about two full game days. You can also press f5 to open the console and then type imacheater to activate cheats, and then removedrops to get rid of any item you threw on the ground instantly.
