How to Change Your Palworld Server Name

Your server name is the first thing players see when browsing or connecting to your Palworld world, so choosing a clear and memorable name can make your server easier to recognize. Whether you’re creating a private world for friends or hosting a larger community server, updating your server name is a quick and straightforward process.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to change your Palworld server name using the Physgun server panel or by manually editing your dedicated server’s configuration file.

How to Change Your Palworld Server Name Using Physgun

Changing the name of your Palworld server is simple enough as is, but Physgun made it even simpler. We provide a comprehensive menu of all potential server settings that you would usually put in your server’s config file. This way you don’t have to look up all of the different fields and arguments. To change your server name in the Physgun panel:

1. Visit your Physgun game panel.
2. Shut off your server. We automatically prevent you from editing the config this way while it’s on so we can prevent corruption or memory loss.
3. Navigate to the Palworld Settings tab and locate the ServerName field.
4. Set the name to whatever best represents your server.
5. Restart your server to apply the changes.

How to Change Your Palworld Server Name Using the Config File

If you’re not a Physgun client, you can still pretty easily change your server name in the configuration file. To change your Palworld server’s name on a dedicated server:

1. Shut off your server to prevent unforeseen issues.
2. Open your server files using an SFTP or FTP client or your Windows File Explorer depending on how you’re hosting.
3. Navigate to Pal/Saved/Config followed by either LinuxServer or WindowsServer.
4. Open the `PalWorldSettings.ini` file.
5. If your file is already populated, just add ServerName="MyNameHere" into the OptionSettings list. If your config file is blank, paste the following line into the file:

OptionSettings=(ServerName="MyNameHere")

Lastly, just restart your server to apply the changes!

Conclusion

Changing your Palworld server name only takes a few minutes and is an easy way to personalize your world or reflect changes to your community. Whether you use the Physgun server panel or edit your configuration files manually, the process is simple and only requires a server restart for the new name to take effect.

Once your server is back online, players will see your updated server name the next time they connect, making it easier to identify your world and giving it a more professional or personalized touch.
