Add a server password when you want your Palworld server to be private or limited to invited players. The password is set in PalWorldSettings.ini and applies after a restart. This is separate from the admin password, which is only used for admin commands.
- Open your Palworld server in the control panel.
- Click Configuration Files.
- Find
PalWorldSettings.ini, then click Config Editor.
- Enter the password in Server Password.

- Click Save & Exit.
- Restart the server.
Share the password only with players you want to join. If players still see the old password requirement, wait a few minutes for the server browser to refresh and then try again. To remove the password later, clear the Server Password field, save, and restart.
