QUICK ANSWER

There is no single Palworld Mods folder. Use the platform and install type to distinguish server Mods/Workshop from client UE4SS directories and Workshop-managed content.

This page keeps platform, version, dependency, and source boundaries visible so a safe test has a clear result.

BEFORE YOU START
01Write the platform beside every path.
02Confirm whether the Mod is Workshop, UE4SS, or server-side.
03Back up before moving or removing a manual directory.
DO / VERIFY

Follow the smallest useful path.

01

Label the platform

Do

Record Steam Win64, PC Game Pass WinGDK, or Windows dedicated server before opening a folder.

Verify

The path note includes a platform label and source ID.

02

Separate install types

Do

Keep Workshop flow, UE4SS Mods, and server Workshop directories as separate branches.

Verify

The selected folder matches the Mod type rather than a search result or old tutorial.

03

Verify the project layout

Do

For a server project, check the documented project folder and its Info.json relationship before enabling it.

Verify

The project metadata and folder relationship match the server source.

A copied folder is never read.Check whether it belongs to a client loader, Workshop item, or server root.Move it back to the backup and follow the platform-specific source again.
Old files keep affecting UE4SS.Inspect the log and known leftover files before adding a new version.Remove only confirmed leftovers, one change at a time.
FAQ

Questions this source set can answer.

Can the server Mods/Workshop path be used on a client?

No. The official server guide is a server-side flow and cannot be copied into a client install.

Why does a path from an older article differ?

UE4SS directories change between releases and platforms; prefer the current official guide and identify Win64 versus WinGDK.

If the current source disagrees with an older tutorial, pause the change and re-check the release, platform, and original Mod page before continuing.
