In Palworld, you are not just a player, but the manager of an entire world. Effective server administration guarantees order, stability, and a better gameplay experience for your community.

By mastering administrator commands, you get full control: from properly saving the world to instantly removing rule-breakers. This article is your indispensable reference.

Using Commands

After successfully logging into the server with the command /AdminPassword, you are ready to act!

How to enter commands:

  1. In-game (chat): Press ENTER and enter the command starting with a slash (/). Ideal for quick actions (kick, ban, teleport).

  2. Through the panel console: Use the "Console" tab in the server control panel. Here, commands are entered without a slash (/) and are suitable for global operations (shutdown, message broadcasts).

Important: For commands targeting a specific player (for example, /KickPlayer), use their UID (Palworld unique identifier) or SteamID64. To find these IDs, simply use the command /ShowPlayers.

Administrative Recommendations

  • Always begin any scheduled maintenance with the command /Save.

  • To stop the server, it is always preferable to use /Shutdown with a time buffer (for example, /Shutdown 300 Please leave the server. Maintenance in 5 minutes.).

  • If you are unsure about the correctness of a player ID, use /ShowPlayers to avoid accidentally banning the wrong person.
