Technical Infrastructure Hardening

By default, Palworld dedicated servers possess minimal protection against client-side modifications and third-party trainers. In a public environment, malicious actors can easily exploit this lack of verification to grant themselves infinite experience, teleport across the map, or instantaneously delete every structure within your world. PalGuard is a strong, community-developed security framework designed to neutralize 99% of these common exploits by implementing server-side request validation. This guide walk you through the professional installation of the PalGuard anti-cheat suite.

Technical Prerequisites

PalGuard operates via DLL injection and requires a specialized modding environment to interface with the game engine.
  • UE4SS Framework: You must have the UE4SS Modding Framework correctly installed and verified before proceeding with the PalGuard deployment.

Installation & Activation Workflow

Follow these steps to deploy the security layer to your server binaries.
1

Acquire Latest Build

Download the most recent PalGuard distribution from the official technical repository.
2

Deploy to Mods Directory

using the Game Panel File Manager, upload the PalGuard folder and associated .dll assets into: /Pal/Binaries/Win64/Mods/
3

Update the Registry

Open the mods.txt file situated within the same Win64/Mods/ directory.
4

Authorize Execution

Input the following line to initialize the plugin: PalGuard : 1
5

Initialize the Shield

Restart your server. Monitor the console logs to confirm that the PalGuard initialization handshake has successfully concluded.

Technical Security Features

Once active, PalGuard enforces several critical security policies automatically.
The plugin intercepts all structural “Delete” and “Build” packets. If a player attempts to modify geometry they do not own (outside of their guild), the request is silently discarded at the network layer.
