How to enable Palworld console commands
Palworld's admin console is opened in-game and unlocked with the server's admin password. Without that password the console accepts only harmless local commands, which is why moderation starts with the server config file.
- ✓Set an admin password
- ✓Open the console
- ✓Single-player vs server
Useful admin commands for moderation
The commands worth memorising are the ones that keep a server running: player listing, kick and ban, save-on-demand, broadcast and shutdown with warning.
- ✓Player listing
- ✓Kick and ban
- ✓Save on demand
Cheats, testing worlds and fair play
Admin power is a moderation tool, not a progression shortcut. If you want to test builds or spawn items, do it on a throwaway world so your main server's economy stays intact.
- ✓Use a test world
- ✓Server rules should be written down
- ✓Third-party trainers
Config file tuning vs commands
Commands change the live session; the config file changes the rules. Use commands for incidents and the settings file for anything you want to persist across restarts.
- ✓What belongs in the config
- ✓What belongs in a command
- ✓Edit safely
