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.
Updated for the current Palworld patch
- ✓Player listing
- ✓Kick and ban
- ✓Save on demand
- ✓Broadcast
Player listing
List connected players with their identifiers before any kick or ban. Acting on a display name alone gets the wrong person removed.
Kick and ban
Kick for a fixable problem such as a stuck client; ban for griefing. Announce the reason so the rest of the server understands.
Save on demand
Force a save before restarts, before large builds and after resolving an incident. It costs a second and prevents rollback arguments.
Broadcast
Announce restarts and maintenance to everyone online. Silent shutdowns are the fastest way to lose regulars.
Graceful shutdown
Use a timed shutdown with a broadcast rather than killing the process, so the world saves cleanly and clients disconnect properly.
