Setting up a Palworld server for playing with friends and family can be a lot of fun, but unwanted players might spoil the experience. This can be frustrating as it opens the door to griefing or other disruptive behavior. Such issues can arise when players discover your server through the Palworld community list or by using the IP address. Fortunately, there's a way to prevent this: you can create a server password that only authorized players know. This method involves a bit of configuration, which might be unfamiliar to those new to hosting. This guide was created with the following products: Gravel Host Palworld

Passwords help keep harmful or random players out of your Palworld server, which is useful for creating a private world for friends and family. They also allow you to "whitelist" the server if you want to build without interference before others join. Protecting your Palworld server is crucial for any administrator or owner. Keep in mind that you can change your password at any time, so if it gets leaked, you can swiftly and securely update it.
