Best Palworld mods
Below are our favourite Palworld mods, all of which are downloadable onNexusMods. They each have slightly different installation processes, so you’ll have to follow the included instructions for each. Most require inserting a few extra files into various places within Palworld’s file directories.
It’s also worth pointing out that this list does not include the most notorious mod to emerge in the wake of Palworld’s popularity - you know, the one that changes all of the Pals in the game tofuzzy creatures related to a certain Nintendo franchise. That mod has since been dramatically altered to avoid Nintendo’s wrath, and frankly isn’t as amusing as it once was. Nevertheless, if you’re still curious about it, you can find ithere.
Map Unlocker
Hurrah, the entire map is visible without needing to actually do anything! |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
The Palpagos Islands are vast, so why not speed things up with MapUnlocker? This handy mod shows the full map for your convenience, along with the locations of Great Eagle Statue Fast Travel points and Alpha Pals. Don’t worry, Map Unlocker doesn’t actually activate these Fast Travel points, so you can still enjoy the challenge of exploration. Using this mod in tandem with ourPalworld Interactive Mapand our heatmaps showingall Palworld Pal locationsis a surefire way to catch every Pal on your list.

Always Fast Travel
Using the Always Fast Travel mod, I happily teleported to the Unthawable Lake even though I was stuck on a beach halfway across the map. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
Perhaps you don’t care so much about seeing the entire Palworld map as you do about zipping around in a super speedy fashion. If this is the case, download the Always Fast Travel mod. You’ll be able to teleport to any Great Eagle Statue that you’ve already unlocked on your map without having to physically be at a statue (or a Palbox). Some might see this as breaking immersion - but if you’re already installing mods, why not go all the way? Combine this with the Map Unlocker mod above, and the entirety of Palworld will be your oyster.

Basic Minimap
It’s super handy to have a minimap always on your screen and makes you wonder why this feature wasn’t included in the game at launch. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
If you’re looking for a happy medium between “show me the entire map” and “let me teleport everywhere at will,” perhaps the Basic Minimap mod is right up your alley. This mod is subtle but life-changing, and does exactly what it says on the tin. You’ll have a nice little map that you can place in the top, bottom, or corners of your screen, giving you a better sense of where you are without having to press M all the time. You can even adjust the size and zoom in however you like!

Remove Flying Stamina Cost
With this trusty mod, never again will your flying mount get tired while crossing a vast ocean in the dead of night. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
Taking to the skies on the back of afast flying mountis undoubtedly one of Palworld’s more epic moments, but like all mounts, if you want to move fast you’ll burn through your stamina meter quickly. Considering that flying mounts make Palworld traversal 100% easier - especially if you want to obtain the best flying mount of all, the legendaryJetragon- the Remove Flying Stamina Cost mod is a great add-on that’ll keep you in the sky all the time.

Technology Free Unlocking
Normally, this thing costs a whopping 5 Technology Points. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Pocketpair
The Technology Tree in Palworld is a harsh mistress and keeps the coolest upgrades under lock and key until you acquire enough points. To do away with all that, install the Technology Free Unlocking mod, which makes the Technology Points requirement for everything 0. You’ll still need to reach the appropriate levels to unlock each upgrade, but there’s still nothing like seeing the game’s ultimate weapon - the Jetragon missile launcher, which lets you ride thefastest mount in Palworldand shoot a blaze of glory wherever you go - available for the sweet price of zilch.
