PvP allows players to fight each other on the Palworld server. Enable it only if your community wants player-versus-player combat, and check the nearby damage/drop settings before restarting.

  1. Open your Palworld server in the control panel.
  2. Click Configuration Files.
  3. Open PalWorldSettings.ini with Config Editor.

  6. Review nearby options such as death penalty drops, friendly fire, and guild damage rules.
  7. Click Save & Exit, then restart the server.

To turn PvP off later, untick PvP Enabled?, save, and restart again. Take a backup before changing combat rules on an active world: How to Backup your Palworld Server.
