How to Add Mods to Your Palworld Server

Palworld mods come in different types – and not every type runs on a Linux server. Our Palworld servers run on Linux, so the following applies:

Install a .pak mod on the server

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

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

3. Create the mod folder
   Go to the folder Pal/Content/Paks/ and create the subfolder ~mods there if it does not exist yet:

   /Pal/Content/Paks/~mods/
   

4. Upload the mod
   Upload the mod's .pak file into the ~mods folder.

5. Start the server
   Start your server. The mod is loaded automatically on startup.

Remove a mod

Delete the .pak file from the /Pal/Content/Paks/~mods/ folder (with the server stopped) and restart the server.

Client-side mods

Many mods are purely client-side (for example visual, sound or UI tweaks) and work independently of the server. Each player installs these locally on their own PC:

• Steam Workshop – subscribe to the mod and it is loaded automatically in-game
• Nexus Mods and CurseForge – install according to the respective mod description
