Running a Palworld server means keeping your community enjoyable for everyone. Whether you’re dealing with disruptive players, griefers, or simply need to remove someone temporarily, Palworld includes built-in admin commands that let you kick or ban players in just a few seconds. This guide covers how to give yourself admin privileges and use the kick, ban, and unban commands.
How to Obtain Admin Privileges
Before you can use any kick or ban commands, you need to make sure you have admin privileges on the server. To grant yourself permissions:
-
Open your Physgun server panel.
-
Navigate to Server Options
-
Click on the Admin Password server setting to reveal it.
-
Copy the password.
-
Press Enter to open the chat box.
-
Type
/adminpasswordfollowed by your password. -
Hit enter to send the message.
-
Now you have admin permissions!
How to Kick and Ban Players In-Game
Once you have the right permissions, kicking and banning players from your server is incredibly simple.
The Difference Between Kicking or Banning
There is a big difference between a kick and a ban. Kicking is a temporary solution often used for minor issues. Players who are kicked can immediately join back whenever they want. Banning, on the other hand, is permanent until a ban is removed.
Using the Kick, Ban, and Unban Commands
-
Kicking players - /kickplayer [Name or Steam ID]
-
Banning players - /banplayer [Name or Steam ID]
-
Unbanning players - /unbanplayer [Name or Steam ID]
Note: You can obtain a player’s ID by typing /showplayers in chat. You can also find a log of banned players at Pal/Saved/SaveGames and find the banlist TXT file.
Conclusion
With admin permissions enabled, you can quickly moderate your Palworld server using the built-in kick, ban, and unban commands. Whether you’re removing a disruptive player for a few minutes or permanently banning repeat offenders, these commands make it easy to keep your server running smoothly. If you ever need to reverse a ban, simply execute the unban command to allow the player to join again.
