How to Kick and Ban Players on Your Palworld Server

As an admin you can kick or permanently ban players using commands.

Show player list

Enter the following command in the chat to display all connected players with their SteamID:

/ShowPlayers

Kick a player

/KickPlayer <SteamID>

The player is removed from the server but can rejoin.

Ban a player

/BanPlayer <SteamID>

The player is permanently banned from the server.

Unban a player

/UnBanPlayer <SteamID>

You can find the player's SteamID in the banlist.txt or from a previously noted /ShowPlayers output.

Alternative: edit the ban list manually

If no admin is currently online, you can also edit the ban list directly:
