How To Ban And Unban Players On Your Palworld Server

You can permanently ban disruptive players from your Palworld server using either the banlist file or in-game admin commands.

Banning Via Banlist File

1. Log into your GhostCap panel and stop your Palworld server
2. Navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames/
3. Edit or create banlist.txt
4. Add the player's SteamID, one per line:

   76561198123456789
   

5. Save and start your server
6. Ban takes effect within 2 minutes

Banning Via Admin Commands

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

Unbanning Players

1. Stop your server
2. Open banlist.txt
3. Remove the player's SteamID line
4. Save and restart your server

Finding SteamIDs

• Use /ShowPlayers command while in-game as admin
• Check server logs
• Use steamid.io with their profile URL

Notes

• Bans are permanent until manually removed
• File-based bans require server restart
• Command-based bans take effect within 2 minutes
• Banned players cannot rejoin under the same SteamID
