How to Set a Palworld Server Password

Before we begin, it’s necessary to know that you must stop your server before making configuration changes. This is required when editing any Palworld server settings.

2. Then, on the left under “Settings”, click “Config Files”.
   
3. In the PalWorldSettings.ini config, search for and locate “ServerPassword”:
   
4. After finding that, instead of PASSWORD you can edit this to your password.
5. Finally, press “Save changes” and start your server.

Upon startup, your server will now require a password when a player attempts to join.

How to Use a Palworld Password on Your Server

1. Once your server is online, on the Palworld menu click “Join Multiplayer Game”.
   
2. Next, click on the “Recent Servers” tab to find your server.
   
3. Lastly, click on your server, enter the password, and press “OK” to join.

Common Issues

My Palworld server password isn’t working.

When your server password refuses to work, this can be quite frustrating. There are a few reasons for this occurring including that the password change did not save accordingly, or that the server was still online during editing. Due to how Palworld servers operate, the server must be shut down prior to making any setting changes such as changing the Palworld server password. To avoid these issues, turn off your server fully and then edit your server options. From there, start your server to enjoy a customized Palworld experience with your friends!
