5. Save the file and Start your server.

Banning Via Admin Commands

1. Join your server and authenticate as admin by typing /AdminPassword yourpassword.
2. Get the player's SteamID by using /ShowPlayers.
3. Ban the player with /BanPlayer {SteamID}.

Unbanning Players

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Palworld server.
2. Open the File Manager and navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames/.
3. Open banlist.txt.
4. Delete the line containing the player's SteamID you want to unban.
5. Save and restart your server.

Finding Player SteamIDs

There are several ways to find a player's SteamID:
