Palworld mod server FAQ
Yes, you can run mods on a Palworld dedicated server, mods do not disable achievements on your own server, and clients only need to install mods that change visuals or UI — pure server-side logic mods work without any client download.

Do players need the same mods?
Only for client-visible mods. Rate, spawn and loot changes live server-side and need nothing installed locally.
Will mods break my save?
Removing a mod that added items can orphan those items, but the world itself survives. Always back up SaveGames before removing anything.
Can I mod a rented host?
Only if the host exposes file access. Managed hosts without FTP or file manager access cannot load UE4SS.
Do mods work on Xbox or Game Pass?
No. Modded dedicated servers are Steam Windows and Linux only; crossplay clients can join an unmodded server but not a UE4SS host.
How many players can a modded server hold?
32 is the engine cap; 8 to 16 is the realistic ceiling once automation mods and large bases are running.
