Palworld Admin Commands — Full List (2026)
Palworld admin commands let you manage a dedicated server from in-game chat — once you've logged in with the admin password. Here's the full list with exact syntax, plus the two things everyone gets wrong: commands are case-sensitive, and only /Save actually saves.
Set AdminPassword in PalWorldSettings.ini, then in the in-game chat type /AdminPassword YourPassword to authenticate. Commands are case-sensitive — /Save works, /save does nothing and gives no error.
Logging in
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/AdminPassword <password> | Authenticate as admin for this session. |
/Info | Show server information (name, version). |
/ShowPlayers | List connected players with their IDs. |
Player management
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/KickPlayer <SteamID> | Kick a player. |
/BanPlayer <SteamID> | Ban a player. |
/TeleportToPlayer <SteamID> | Teleport yourself to a player. |
/TeleportToMe <SteamID> | Bring a player to you. |
Server & messaging
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/Broadcast <message> | Send a message to everyone on the server. |
/Save | Save the world now (the one command to remember). |
/Shutdown <seconds> <message> | Shut down after a countdown with a warning message. |
/DoExit | Force-shut the server immediately. |
Neither /Shutdown nor /DoExit saves on its own — run /Save first or you'll lose recent progress. Also note: Pocketpair has deprecated RCON in favour of a REST API, so prefer in-game admin commands or the REST API over RCON going forward.

Frequently asked questions
How do I become admin on a Palworld server?
Set AdminPassword in PalWorldSettings.ini, then type /AdminPassword YourPassword in the in-game chat. Once accepted, you can run all admin commands that session.
Why do my Palworld commands do nothing?
Palworld commands are case-sensitive. /Save works but /save does nothing and gives no error — match the exact capitalisation shown. Also make sure you've authenticated with /AdminPassword first.
How do I save a Palworld server manually?
Type /Save (capital S). It's the one command to remember, because neither /Shutdown nor /DoExit saves on its own — always /Save before shutting down.
How do I kick or ban a player in Palworld?
Use /ShowPlayers to get their SteamID, then /KickPlayer <SteamID> or /BanPlayer <SteamID>. You must be logged in with /AdminPassword first.
How do I restart a Palworld server with a warning?
/Shutdown <seconds> <message> counts down and shows players your message before shutting down. Run /Save first so no progress is lost, then bring it back up.
Does Palworld still support RCON?
Pocketpair has deprecated RCON in favour of a REST API, and RCON is scheduled to stop working in a future update. Prefer the in-game admin commands or the REST API for managing your server going forward.
How do I teleport to a player in Palworld?
/TeleportToPlayer <SteamID> moves you to that player, and /TeleportToMe <SteamID> brings them to you. Use /ShowPlayers first to get the SteamIDs you need. You must be logged in with /AdminPassword.
How do I restart or shut down a Palworld server safely?
Run /Save first (nothing else saves), then /Shutdown <seconds> <message> to warn players and shut down after a countdown, or /DoExit for an immediate stop. Never shut down without saving or you lose recent progress.
How do I broadcast a message to a Palworld server?
/Broadcast <message> sends a message to everyone on the server. It's an admin command, so authenticate with /AdminPassword first. Note that spaces in the message are supported.
