How to ban a player on your Palworld server

Banning a player is a necessary step to maintain the enjoyment of the game server and remove someone when they break the rules of your server. This guide provides instructions on how to ban a player by editing a file on your Palworld server hosting.

 

Steps to Ban a Player on Your Palworld Server

In Palworld, banning a player is done by manually editing the banlist.txt file, as there is no in-game command for this action. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Locate the Banlist File
    • The banlist.txt file is located in your Palworld server directory. Find it at Pal/Saved/SaveGames/banlist.txt.
    • This file can also be found in the configuration files section of your control panel, and can be edited using the text editor.
  2. Open the File
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to open the banlist.txt file if not using the control panels text editor.
  3. Add the SteamID
    • Identify the SteamID of the player you wish to ban. You can use https://steamid.io to find this ID.
    • Add the SteamID to the banlist.txt file.
  4. Save the File
    • After adding the SteamID, save the changes to the banlist.txt file.
  5. Wait for Changes to Take Effect
    • It may take up to 2 minutes for the ban to take effect after the file has been saved.

 

Important Considerations

  • Accuracy is Key
    • Be precise when editing the banlist.txt file. Ensure that you add only the specific SteamID of the player you intend to ban.
  • Regular Backups
    • Create a backup of the banlist.txt file before making any changes to avoid unintended data loss.
  • Server Restart
    • A server restart might be necessary for the ban to take effect.

 

Banning a player in Palworld requires careful addition of the player's SteamID to the server's banlist.txt file. By following these steps, server administrators can enforce bans effectively and accurately.
