Introduction

Since Palworld's release, more and more cool mods have appeared online that improve gameplay and make the game even more fun. This guide shows you how to install game modifications (mods) on your Palworld game server and/or in the game client.

Important Information

Currently, you can view and download available mods from external modding sites. We recommend sites like Nexus Mods or Curseforge, which have a good reputation in the modding community. Mods from the Steam Workshop cannot be downloaded at this time.

Info

ZAP-Hosting assumes no liability for any changes or damage to your server files or worlds caused by installing mods. We strongly recommend creating backups beforehand. You can find more information in our dedicated Managing Savegames guide.

Info

We currently only support PAK mods (.PAK files). Mods requiring an executable file cannot be used for security reasons.

Server- & Client-Side Mods

Before selecting mods, you need to determine whether they are server-side or client-side. The easiest way is to read the description on the mod website or contact the mod author directly.

Server-side scripts can be installed directly on the server; players do not need to do anything further. Client-side mods must be installed locally by each player who wants to join the server.

Info

Make sure the mod is compatible with the current Palworld game version.
