Do mods disable achievements?
No — Palworld does not use Steam achievements gated by mod detection as of the 1.0 build. Anti-cheat has not been added.
Are mods safe on dedicated servers?
Yes if applied to both server + all clients. See /guides/palworld-mod-server-guide for the exact folder layout.
Will my save break?
Not for pak-based cosmetic mods. Data mods that add Pals may leave orphaned entities if uninstalled — always back up /Saved before removing.
Can I mod on Xbox Game Pass?
Limited — UE4SS supports the Microsoft Store build with extra setup. Follow the Nexus wiki page for the current shim.
