How To Install Mods On Your Palworld Server - UE4SS, Pak & Lua Mods Guide

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.

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.

• Dedicated servers run the Steam version of Palworld, Game Pass mods should not be installed.

• 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.

Installing UE4SS

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Settings.
3. 3
   Under Modding, enable Enable Modding (UE4SS Framework). This installs the latest experimental release of UE4SS from the official UE4SS-RE repo.
4. 4
   (Optional) Enable Auto Update UE4SS to automatically update UE4SS on server start. Updating won't remove your existing UE4SS mods.
5. 5
   Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Installing Mods

1. 1
   Download the mods you want from Nexus Mods. (Make sure they're server side mods!)
2. 2
   Extract the downloaded .zip file on your PC.
3. 3
   Upload your extracted mod folder to the location as specified by the mod author.

   • Our installer 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.
4. 4
   Restart your server.
