Install mods on your Palworld server by uploading .pak files to the mods directory. Some mods also require the UE4SS scripting framework, which only works on Windows servers.

Installing .pak Mods

Download the .pak file for the mod you want to install
Stop your server using the GCP
Take a backup of your server
Open the File Manager
Navigate to Pal/Content/Paks/~mods
Upload the .pak file to that directory
Start your server using the GCP

If a mod file is larger than 100MB, use SFTP to upload it instead of the File Manager.

Where to Find Mods

Nexus Mods - Largest collection of Palworld mods
Thunderstore - Another popular mod repository
CurseForge - Some mods are hosted here as well

Most mods are distributed as .pak files. Some come as .zip archives - extract them first and upload just the .pak file.

Client-Side Mods

Some mods need to be installed on both the server and the client. The mod’s description page will tell you if client installation is required. For client-side installation, the .pak file goes in the same relative path on your PC: Palworld/Pal/Content/Paks/~mods. Create the ~mods folder if it doesn’t exist.

Removing Mods

Stop your server
Navigate to Pal/Content/Paks/~mods in the File Manager
Delete the .pak file for the mod you want to remove
Start your server
