Palworld: Enable Global Palbox

Introduction​

The Global Palbox in Palworld allows players to transfer Pals between servers by using Palworld's global cloud-based Pal storage system. In this guide, you will learn how to enable Global Palbox import and export on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld server by editing the correct configuration file manually.

Preparation​

Before you begin, make sure that:

  • you have access to your Palworld game server in the ZAP-Hosting web interface
  • your server is currently stopped or can be restarted after the changes
  • you can access the Configs section in your game server administration
Configuration File Access

For ZAP-Hosting Palworld servers, the relevant settings can be edited through the game server administration under Configs. You do not need external file access if the configuration editor is available there.

Open the Palworld Configuration File​

To enable the Global Palbox feature, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

Find the Config File in the ZAP Interface​

  1. Log in to the ZAP-Hosting website.
  2. Open your Palworld game server administration.
  3. Navigate to the Configs section.
  4. Open the file named PalWorldSettings.ini.

This file contains the main server settings used by Palworld, including the Global Palbox options.

Manual Configuration Required

The Global Palbox setting is configured manually through the server configuration file. If you do not see a separate toggle for this feature in the interface, editing PalWorldSettings.ini directly is the correct method.

Enable Global Palbox Import and Export​

Once you have opened PalWorldSettings.ini, you need to locate the server option list and adjust the Global Palbox entries.

Required Configuration Keys​

The following settings control Global Palbox behavior:

Config keyValueFunction
bAllowGlobalPalboxImportTrue or FalseAllows players to import Pals from the Global Palbox
bAllowGlobalPalboxExportTrue or FalseAllows players to export Pals to the Global Palbox

According to current third-party reference material, bAllowGlobalPalboxImport is disabled by default with False, while bAllowGlobalPalboxExport is enabled by default with True. If your file already contains these values, you only need to adjust them as required.

Set the Values​

To fully enable Global Palbox transfers between servers, set both values to True.

bAllowGlobalPalboxImport=True
bAllowGlobalPalboxExport=True

If these options already exist in the file, replace the existing values. If they are not present, add them to the server settings section in PalWorldSettings.ini.

Keep Existing Syntax Intact

Palworld configuration files are sensitive to formatting. Only change the required values and avoid removing commas, brackets, or other existing entries if these options are part of a larger settings line in your file.

Save the Changes​

After editing the file:

  1. Save the changes in the PalWorldSettings.ini editor.
  2. Confirm that both Global Palbox values are present and set correctly.

If your server panel offers a save button only, use that first before restarting the server in the next step.

Restart the Server​

After changing the Global Palbox settings, you need to restart the Palworld server so the new configuration is loaded.

Apply the New Settings​

Restart your server from the game server administration after saving the file.

ActionRequired
Save PalWorldSettings.iniYes
Restart the serverYes
Run additional console commandsNo

No additional commands are required after editing the configuration file. A normal server restart is sufficient to apply the new Palworld global palbox server setting.

Verify the Feature In-Game

After the restart, join your server and test whether players can import and export Pals through the Global Palbox. This is the easiest way to confirm that the setting was applied successfully.

Troubleshooting​

If the Global Palbox does not work after the restart, check the following points.

Confirm the Values Were Saved Correctly​

Open PalWorldSettings.ini again and verify that these values are still present:

bAllowGlobalPalboxImport=True
bAllowGlobalPalboxExport=True

If the values reverted, the file may not have been saved correctly.

Check for Formatting Problems​

If you inserted the values into an existing settings block, make sure the surrounding syntax is still valid. Incorrect formatting in PalWorldSettings.ini can cause Palworld to ignore settings or fail to load them properly.

Restart the Server Again​

If you saved the file while the server was running, perform another full restart to make sure the new configuration is applied.

Feature Availability Depends on Game Version

Global Palbox is a game feature provided by Palworld itself. If the setting does not work even though the configuration is correct, the feature may depend on the current Palworld server version or temporary game-side limitations. In that case, check whether your server is fully up to date.
