Prerequisites

Introduction to Modding Kit​

Palworld Modding Kit allows you to utilize Unreal Editor to create various mods that interact with the game, be it editing values, calling in-game functions to make actions happen or creating entirely new content for the game.

Do note that this is an unofficial Modding Kit which means that you won't have access to the full game's code or content. It is meant to be a skeleton project for interfacing with the game's API.

It is recommended to have a basic understanding of Unreal Engine and how to use the Editor and Blueprints, because the basics apply to Unreal modding regardless of which game it is. The only thing that changes is the API you're using, which in this case is Palworld.

Prerequisites​

You'll want to make sure you install all the prerequisites. If you skipped any steps, you will run into the "Pal could not be compiled" error once you launch the Modding Kit.

.NET 6​

For Unreal Build Tools to function correctly, you will need to have .NET 6 installed on your system.

Download

Once you've downloaded the installer, open it and install the runtime.

Visual Studio 2022​

You will need Visual Studio 2022 installed to be able to compile the Modding Kit, which is a process that happens when you first launch it. Community 2022 version will suffice.

Download

While installing it, make sure to check the following components under the Workloads tab in the installer:

You'll also want to navigate to the Individual Components tab, search for MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Build Tools (v14.38-17.8) and make sure it's checked.

Then press Continue, and wait for Visual Studio to install.
