How to Ban Players on Your Palworld Server

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these instructions to ban disruptive players and maintain a positive gaming environment on your Palworld server:

1. Log in as an Admin

Ensure you have admin privileges on your Palworld server. Use your admin account or execute the command to log in as an admin within the server.

2. Open the Admin Console

Press the key assigned to open the in-game console (typically ~ or / on most servers). If the console isn’t visible, check your server settings to enable it.

3. Identify the Player

Use the command /list or /players to see all players currently on the server. Note the exact username or player ID of the individual you want to ban.

4. Issue the Ban Command

Type the following command in the console:

/ban [username] [reason]

Example:

/ban Griefer123 Disruptive behavior

5. Confirm the Ban

The system will confirm the player has been banned. They will be immediately disconnected and unable to rejoin.

6. Temporary Ban

To issue a temporary ban, include a duration:

/tempban [username] [duration] [reason]

Example:

/tempban Griefer123 7d Cheating

7. Unban a Player

To lift a ban, use the following command:

/unban [username]

Example:

/unban Griefer123

Tips for Fair Server Management

• Use Warnings First: Before banning, consider issuing a warning to give players a chance to correct their behavior. Use /warn [username] [message].
• Document Incidents: Keep a record of ban reasons and evidence (e.g., screenshots, logs) for transparency.
• Update Rules: Ensure your server rules are clear and accessible to all players.
