How To Install Mods On Your Palworld Server

At Game Host Bros, we make it easy for you to mod your Palworld server by installing UE4SS automatically. This means you can install 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 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. Navigate to Pal/Binaries/Win64 and upload your extracted plugin folder.
    • There are other locations too, consult the mod/plugin documentation, common locations are Pal/Binaries/Win64 and Pal/Binaries/Win64/Mods. Whereas for pak mods Pal/Content/Paks/LogicMods, Pal/Content/Paks or Pal/Content/Paks/~mods, again refer to the mods documentation.
  5. Start your server.

Some mods will also need to be enabled in the Pal/Binaries/Win64/Mods/mods.txt file, you’ll need to add the name of the mod and enable it on a new line.
