MINECRAFT HOSTING
GAME SERVERS
Game PanelThese are the options on the Settings, Game Settings page of a PlayNHost Palworld server, taken from the panel's own definitions. Rows marked read only are set by your plan or the server and cannot be changed.
All settings

|---|---|---|---|

| Admin Password | Players must provide this password (via the in-game chat or RCON) to gain access to administrator commands on the server. Also used by the panel's own console/RCON relay - an empty value breaks the console and the Stop button. | 1 to 30 characters, letters, numbers, dashes and underscores | a default is set, change it |
| Server Name | The name shown in the server browser and to joining players. | up to 64 characters, no double quotes or backslashes | A PlaynHost Palworld Server |
| Server Password | If specified, players must provide this password to join the server. | 1 to 30 characters, letters, numbers, dashes and underscores | empty |

| Max Players (read only) | The player limit included with your plan. This field is read-only.

Good to know
- The fields in Settings, then Game Settings take effect on the next start or restart. All other Palworld options, such as rates and the death penalty, live in Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini in Files. Stop the server, edit that file, and start it again. The panel sets the name, passwords, player limit, crossplay and remote console itself at every start, so change those in Game Settings, not in the file. The free Palworld settings generator writes the whole file for you.
- The panel saves a value when you leave its field. If the value is not allowed, the panel tells you and keeps the old one.
- Passwords and tokens are not listed with a value. Each server starts with one set for you, or with none, as the row says. Change any password before you invite players.
