Before You Start

  • Make sure you have admin access to your server.

  • Upload your .pak mod file into this folder.
  • On your PC, put the same .pak file into your Palworld game’s Pal/Content/Paks/ folder.
  • Restart your server to activate your mods.
That’s it! Enjoy customizing your Palworld server.
