How To Install Mods On Your Palworld Server

If you’re looking to mod your Palworld server, here’s how to do it. This guide covers installation for most .pak, .lua and UE4SS mods. You can find plugins and mods from sites like Nexus Mods.

Installing Mods

Palworld mod websites mix in client mods with server mods, so you need to make sure they’re going to work on a server. You must read the description of each mod as they will tell you if it will work on a server there.

Here are some things to consider before installing mods.

  • Make sure to install UE4SS before starting, UE4SS contents are installed into Pal/Binaries/Win64. As of 2025, it’s currently recommended to install the experimental_latest version of UE4SS. Some mods require specific versions, and certain UE4SS patches, this is something you’ll need to keep an eye out for, modding Palworld can be a process of trial and error, if a certain version doesn’t work as expected, double-check mod configuration or try another version of UE4SS.

  • Make sure they’re compatible with servers (UE4SS mods, .pak or .lua). Client servers are NOT the same as servers.

  • Only install one mod at a time and test it to make sure it works. If it doesn’t then remove the files from your server.

  • Make sure the mod is compatible with the correct server version (type info into the console to get your version).

  • Some mods are required to be installed on the SERVER and CLIENT. This means you would need the mod installed locally on all your players games (including UE4SS) as well as the server itself. Refer to the mod documentation.

  1. Download the mods you want from Nexus Mods. (Make sure they’re server side mods!)
  2. Extract the downloaded .zip file on your PC.
  3. Access your Palworld server using SFTP.
  4. Upload your extracted mod folder to the location as specified by the Mod author.
    • The experimenal version of UE4SS uses Pal/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods. Whereas for pak mods Pal/Content/Paks/LogicMods or Pal/Content/Paks/~mods, again refer to the mods documentation.
  5. Start your server.
