A downloadable Palworld Manager

Take control of your Palworld dedicated servers with Palworld Server Manager, a Windows application designed to make installing, configuring and maintaining one or more servers easier.

Palworld Server Manager is an unofficial third-party application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Pocketpair.

Palworld Server Manager, or PSM, brings the tools needed to run your servers together in one convenient interface. Whether you are setting up a private server for friends or managing several servers for a larger community, PSM aims to reduce the amount of manual work involved and make everyday server administration more straightforward.

PSM is designed to be simple enough for first-time server owners while still providing the features experienced administrators need. Instead of relying on separate scripts, manually editing configuration files and repeatedly running SteamCMD commands, you will be able to manage your servers from a single application.

Palworld Server Manager will allow you to:

  • Manage Multiple Servers with Ease: Install, configure and manage multiple Palworld dedicated servers from a single application. Each server can have its own settings, ports, startup options and maintenance schedule, while common actions can be carried out across several servers when required.
  • Install, Start, Stop and Update Your Servers: Set up new Palworld servers and manage their operation with just a few clicks. Server updates can be installed through PSM, with optional shutdown countdowns giving players advance warning before a server is stopped.
  • Automatic Restart and Update Checks: Unexpected shutdowns do not need to mean extended downtime. PSM can monitor your servers and restart them automatically following a crash. Automatic update checks can also detect and install new Palworld dedicated server updates without SteamCMD needing to be run manually.
  • Scheduled Restarts and Maintenance: Schedule regular server restarts for selected days and times, helping to keep your servers running smoothly. Countdown warnings can be sent before shutdown, and restart times can be staggered when several servers are running on the same computer.
  • Backup and Restore with Ease: Create and restore backups of your server data, helping to protect your worlds and player progress. Backups can be created manually or automatically, with options for choosing where they are stored and managing older backups.
  • Custom Startup Options: Configure each server with its own ports, player limits and other supported command-line options. This makes it easier to run multiple Palworld servers on the same machine while keeping each server's configuration separate.
  • Modify Server Settings and Files: View and edit Palworld server settings from within PSM rather than manually working through the PalWorldSettings.ini file. PSM handles the formatting required by Palworld when settings are loaded and saved, while still allowing configuration files to be opened directly when manual editing is needed.
  • Install and Manage Palworld Mods: Install and manage Palworld server mods from within PSM, keeping each server's mod configuration organised alongside its other settings.
  • Automated Webhook Notifications: Keep track of important server events without constantly watching the application. PSM can send webhook notifications when servers start, stop, restart, update or shut down unexpectedly.

Palworld Server Manager is being developed to take the repetitive work out of running dedicated servers. Whether you manage a single world or several servers, PSM will give you one place to control their settings, updates, backups and day-to-day operation.

Early Development and Beta Testing

Palworld Server Manager is currently in early development and is not yet available as a public release. Some of the features described above are still being developed and may change as testing continues.

If you would like to help test PSM and provide feedback during development, you can send me a direct message through the community Discord or email me at support@creativedd.co.uk.

Beta testers should be prepared to use early development builds, report any problems they encounter and provide feedback as PSM progresses towards its first public release.
