Palworld users can install mods from a variety of places, including Nexus Mods, GitHub, or the Steam Workshop. When combining mods from various sources, issues can occur; however, they are not incompatible with each other. By installing a Workshop collection first, players can add mods from Nexus or other sources. This can allow players to utilize mods exclusive to one platform or the other. Users should note, however, that mods from Nexus are not automatically updated on a server, and may cause issues between game versions.

Requirement: Palworld Modded must be installed on the server. Learn how to here.
The Steam Workshop Collection must be set to public.
Clients must match the mods on the server.
