# Changing Player Character's On Your Don't Starve Together Server

Information on how to Change a Player Character on Your Don't Starve Together Server

## Summary

Sometimes, a player on your **Don’t Starve Together** server may want to change their character after they’ve already joined. This guide explains how to help them do that as an administrator.

> **Error:** Note:
> You must be connected as an administrator to perform these steps. If you’re not yet set up, see our guide on [Adding An Admin To Your Don't Starve Together Server](https://help.chiphead.tech/en/articles/380-adding-an-admin-to-your-dont-starve-together-server.md).

## Drop a Player’s Inventory

Despawning a player will remove their inventory items, so it’s best to have them drop everything first.

1.  Open the developer console by pressing the **~ (tilde)** key.
    
2.  Run the command:
    
    ```javascript
    c_listallplayers()
    ```
    
    This will show each player’s ID.
    
3.  Drop the player’s items using:
    
    ```javascript
    AllPlayers[number].components.inventory:DropEverything()
    ```
    
    Replace **number** with the player’s ID.  
    Example:
    
    ```javascript
    AllPlayers[3].components.inventory:DropEverything()
    ```
    

## Despawning a Player

To allow a player to reselect their character, they need to be despawned, which will return them to the character selection screen.

1.  Open the developer console again using the **~ (tilde)** key.
    
2.  Run the command:
    
    ```javascript
    c_listallplayers()
    ```
    
    to view the player’s ID.
    
3.  Despawn the player by entering:
    
    ```javascript
    c_despawn(AllPlayers[number])
    ```
    
    Replace **number** with their ID.  
    Example:
    
    ```javascript
    c_despawn(AllPlayers[3])
    ```
