Getting started

1. 1Sign in with Discord

   No account to create: authentication goes through Discord (identity only, no access to your Discord servers).

2. 2Create your server

   A server = a Palworld world shared with your tribe. Each account can create up to 3; each server has its own private URL.

3. 3Invite your friends

   From the server settings, generate an invite link: optional expiry and max uses, revocable at any time. Anyone with the link joins the server after signing in.

4. 4Claim your character

   After a first save import, the Import page lists the server's players: click "That's me" to link your character and see your personal progression.

5. 5Enable automatic import

   (Owner) Add your dedicated server's SFTP access in Settings → SFTP import: test the connection, the world folder is detected automatically, then the save is imported every 6 hours. Manual import remains available.

What data is shared?

Your progression is only visible to the members of your server. Each server is fully isolated.

• The import reads the server save: players, catches, unlocked technologies and effigies.
• The Paldex, map, technology and crafting pages show each member's and the group's progression.
• SFTP credentials are encrypted (AES-256-GCM), never displayed back, visible to no member, and can be deleted at any time.
• No data is shared across servers, nor with third parties.

Self-hosting
