Applies to: Palworld on the Gravel Host Panel · Time: about 10 minutes · Difficulty: Beginner
Set up a Palworld server with crossplay for PC, Xbox, PS5 and Mac, add mods, and fix settings that won't stick.
- Go to gravelhost.com and pick Palworld.
- Your plan sets RAM, not players. 4GB covers a small group. 6GB suits bigger bases with Pals working around the clock. You can upgrade later.
- Check out. Your server is built before the confirmation email arrives.
¶ Start it and join
- Log in to the Game Panel and click Start.
- On PC: open Join Multiplayer Game, paste your server address into the box at the bottom and join.
- On Xbox, PS5 and Mac: crossplay is on by default. Search your server name in the community server list.
- Set your server name and password on the Startup page.
- Change capture rates, day length and death penalty on the Config page.
- Restart the server to apply your changes.
- Open Palworld Mods and search CurseForge.
- Click Install on the mod you want.
- Check the mod page first. Some mods need players to install them too.
Your server shows in the community list under its name, and your new rates apply after the restart.
An old single-player world brings a hidden file, WorldOption.sav, that overrides your server settings.
- Stop the server.
- Delete
WorldOption.sav from the world folder.
- Start the server. Your world stays and your settings apply.
