Actual Players page with no recorded players on this server. Sessions and playtime build as HaruHost observes activity.
Your mods, your way
Browse the Steam Workshop catalogue and manage your server’s mod list through SteamCMD. Prefer installing compatible mods manually? Choose the GitHub UE4SS setup instead.
Search Workshop content by name or ID before adding it to your server’s mod list. Check each author’s dedicated-server and client requirements.
The captured server uses GitHub UE4SS with PalSchema and HaruHost Core installed. Manage the loader here; install other compatible manual mods according to their authors’ instructions.
- SteamCMD: search the catalogue, add Workshop IDs, and install, reinstall or remove supported mods
- GitHub UE4SS: set up the loader and HaruHost Core for a server using compatible manually installed mods
- Choose one mode at a time—Workshop mods do not load while GitHub UE4SS is selected
- Mod Manager requires a HaruHost subscription; SteamCMD Workshop downloads also need a Steam account that owns Palworld
See the world your community is building
See the latest observed player locations and explore your server’s world with searchable layers and entity details. Additional world telemetry uses HaruHost Core. Free access is limited to one player; guild view and sharing require a subscription.
- ✓Find players, bases and guilds in your server world
- ✓Explore boss, dungeon and effigy information when available
- ✓Share a guest map with your community on a supported subscription

Guided Setup for a New Palworld Server
The real Palworld wizard takes you from Select Game to Server Name, Create New Server, install path, optional features, and connection settings before you ever click Create Server.
Open Add Server, search for Palworld, and start the wizard from the real game card instead of a generic template.
HaruHost generates a starting name, and you can change it before moving deeper into the setup flow.
This is the split point. New servers continue through the guided install flow, while existing installs use the separate import path.
Keep the default folder or switch to a custom directory before HaruHost prepares the server files.
The wizard continues into optional Discord and related extras so setup decisions stay in one place.
Connection is the last pre-create step. Choose Tunnel or Firewall plus Port Forwarding before clicking Create Server.
- Start from Add Server, filter the game list, and choose Palworld
- Name the server, choose Create New Server, and review the install directory
- Finish with Features and Connection so the final create step is not a blind install click
