Palworld Admin Commands: The Complete List

Becoming admin

You need a set admin password (at RespawnHost it’s a startup variable in the panel, see server setup). Then open the in-game chat (Enter) and type:

/AdminPassword YOURPASSWORD

All admin commands are now available to you.

Notes on RCON

• Via RCON, commands are sent without the leading slash (Save instead of /Save).
• Known limitation: Broadcast via RCON cuts the message at the first space — use underscores: Broadcast Restart_in_5_minutes.
• Important: Pocketpair has officially marked RCON as deprecated — it is scheduled to stop working in an upcoming update. The official successor is the REST API (RESTAPIEnabled, default port 8212, HTTP Basic auth). For day-to-day admin work, the in-game commands above are all you need.

What does NOT exist

A command like ChangeSettings (changing server settings at runtime) circulates in some guides — it does not exist in the official command list and does nothing. Change settings via the config editor and a server restart.
