How to Add Mods to Your Palworld Server ​

Palworld officially supports server mods through its built-in mod system. Mods are placed in the Mods/Workshop/ directory and then enabled in the PalModSettings.ini file.

Warning

Mod support in Palworld is considered experimental and can cause crashes or corrupted save data. Back up your savegame before installing mods, and stop the server before making any changes.

Note

Server mods only work on the Windows dedicated server. Only mods whose Info.json contains "IsServer": true can be used.

Finding mods ​

You can find mods at the following sources, among others:

Add mods ​

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  3. Upload the mod
    Create a subfolder for the mod inside /Mods/Workshop/ and upload the mod files into it. The Info.json file must be located directly in this folder:

    /Mods/Workshop/<ModFolder>/Info.json
/Mods/Workshop/<ModFolder>/...
    /Mods/Workshop/<ModFolder>/Info.json
/Mods/Workshop/<ModFolder>/...

  4. Enable the mod
    Open the file /Mods/PalModSettings.ini and add the mod. Use the PackageName from the mod's Info.json – not the folder name:

    ini
    [PalModSettings]
bGlobalEnableMod=true
ActiveModList=YourModPackageName
    [PalModSettings]
bGlobalEnableMod=true
ActiveModList=YourModPackageName

    For multiple mods, add one additional ActiveModList= line per mod.

  5. Start the server
    Start your server. The mods are deployed automatically on startup.

Remove mods ​

To disable a mod, remove the corresponding ActiveModList= line from PalModSettings.ini and restart the server. To remove it completely, also delete the associated folder from /Mods/Workshop/.

Note

Many mods must also be installed client-side by every player in order for their content to be visible in-game. Check the description of each mod for details.
