Enable crossplay on a Palworld Server
This guide explains how to get cross platform connections on your Palworld server, and have it show up in the community list.
You will need to start your server at least once for the necessary files to generate, and then configure your palworldsettings.ini file. We have a guide on that here.
To enable crossplay on your Palworld server, you only need to modify three settings in your server configuration.
Locate the config file
- Login to the Server Dashboard.
- Click on the server you would like to enable crossplay on.
- Click on the Files tab.
- Go to
/palworld/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.iniand click on the file to open it. Make sure that the config has been set up. If the config file is blank, read this guide to set up server configuration.
Edit the config file
Once you have the config file open, add the following details to the file. You may need to use the browser's search function using the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut.

Make sure you enter your own details for PublicPort and PublicServer, these are examples. See the screenshot above for where to find these.
1) Set a Server Name
Setting a server name will make your server easier to search. The more unique the name, the quicker it will be to find in the server browser.
Locate the ServerName setting and enter your desired server name:
ServerName="Help Article's Palworld Server"
2) Set the Server Port
This will need to be set to your server's Port. The port can be found by locating the server's IP Address and copying the last 5 digits. For example, if the IP Address is 87.98.186.129:16217, the last 5 digits will be 16217.
Locate the PublicPort setting and enter the port you want to use:
PublicPort=16217
3) Set Public IP to your server address
This will be your server's address. You can use the server's friendly address in this field. Alternatively, the server's IP Address can be used. If the IP Address is used, only the first four numbers are used. For example, if the IP Address is87.98.186.129:16217, the first 4 numbers will be 87.98.186.129.
Locate the PublicIP setting and enter your server's public IP address:
PublicIP="example.g.akliz.net"
Saving the changes
After making these changes:
- Save your configuration file.
- Restart your Palworld server
- Players should now be able to find and join your server through the Community Servers list.
Your server is now ready for crossplay! Players on different platforms will be able to connect and play together.
