How To Set Up Whitelist On Your Palworld Server

Configure whitelist to restrict server access to approved players only

A whitelist allows you to control exactly which players can join your server by their Steam64 ID. This is more reliable than passwords due to known password bugs in Palworld.

Enabling Whitelist

  1. Log into your GhostCap panel and stop your Palworld server
  2. Navigate to File Manager
  3. Go to Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ (or WindowsServer/)
  4. Edit PalWorldSettings.ini
  5. Add or modify: bEnableWhitelist=True
  6. Save the file

Adding Players to Whitelist

  1. In the same config directory, create or edit whitelist.txt
  2. Add Steam64 IDs, one per line: 
    76561198123456789
76561198987654321
  3. Save the file
  4. Start your server

Finding Steam64 IDs

Players can find their Steam64 ID at steamid.io by entering their Steam profile URL.

Notes

  • Whitelist works alongside server passwords
  • Changes require server restart
  • Non-whitelisted players will be unable to connect
  • More reliable than password-only protection
