Important disclaimer
PC only. Morrowind's console commands are powerful — setting quest stages or forcefully leveling skills can cause scripts to break if used carelessly. Back up your save before experimenting.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind uses a developer console similar to later Bethesda games. Press tilde (~) to open it. Commands use a slightly different syntax than Skyrim or Oblivion — some use Player-> prefix and others target the player directly through context.
Press tilde (~) to open the console. Most player-affecting commands in Morrowind use the Player-> prefix. Commands are not case-sensitive.

Commands verified against Bethesda Softworks Morrowind documentation and UESP wiki.
Many Morrowind commands use the format Player->CommandName Value. If a command does not work, try prefixing it with Player->. The console is case-insensitive.
Press the tilde key (~). Type your command at the prompt and press Enter. Close with tilde again.
Many commands need the Player-> prefix in Morrowind (e.g., Player->AddItem "gold_001" 1000). Try adding Player-> if the command without it does nothing.
