Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Opening the console Magic Game World and Gameplay.tips turn the console on in the game itself: Options, Keyboard, Advanced, enable developer console. Gamertweak uses the -console launch option instead and then binds a key with bind p toggleconsole, which its own page misspells as toggelconsole. Magic Game World: Black Mesa PC Console Commands
- sv_cheats 1 Gamertweak says its give commands for items, weapons and ammo can be used without activating sv_cheats. Magic Game World and Gameplay.tips enter sv_cheats 1 first, which Magic Game World says is what allows commands flagged as cheats, such as god and noclip.

- Achievements Gamertweak says the commands can be used to earn achievements. None of the three sources says whether turning on sv_cheats switches achievements off, so that part is undocumented here. Gamertweak: Black Mesa Console Commands 2022 - Cheats
- Game version No source names a game build. Gamertweak's list is dated December 2021 and the Gameplay.tips one February 2023, and the two print different item names for ammo, for example ammo_9mmclip against item_ammo_glock. Gameplay.tips: Black Mesa cheat codes (console commands)
