Enabling PvP on Your Palworld Dedicated Server

Player vs. Player (PvP) combat lets players and their Pals battle each other - a fun and competitive feature for community servers.

⚙ Enabling PvP (New Worlds)

You can enable PvP in your server’s Config tab when creating a new world.

1. Log in to the ChipHead Panel.

   

2. Stop your server.

   

3. Open the Config tab.
   (We recommend clicking on </> Raw to view this config file.)

4. Set "PvP" to True.

5. Set "Player to Player Damage" to True.

6. Navigate back to Dashboard and start your server.

   

Your new world will now have PvP enabled.

🔧 Enabling PvP (Existing Worlds)

If your server already has a world running, config changes may not apply automatically.

You’ll need to update the world options directly.

1. Stop your server.

2. Go to the Files tab and navigate to:

   1. Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

3. Open "PalWorldSettings.ini" and copy all its contents.

4. Visit https://palworldoptions.com/

5. Click on Import Settings

   

6. Paste the contents into the editor and click Load Config.

   

7. Set both of these to True:

   1. bIsPvP=True

      

   2. bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=True

      

8. Click "Generate WorldOption.sav".

   

9. Upload the new WorldOption.sav to:

   1. Navigate to Management > Files on the ChipHead Panel

      

   2. Navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/<YourSaveString>/

      

   3. Upload the WorldOption file from step 8.

      

10. Start your server.

    

Your existing world will now have PvP mode enabled.
