Likely safeLooking good. Skim the notes, then go.
Palworld patches often move the game's code and data, which breaks UE4SS, PalSchema and pak mods until they are updated.
⚠ Tracks the Steam PC version. Pocketpair forbids mods on official servers. Workshop mods ship their own UE4SS copy, so never also keep a manual dwmapi.dll install.
No sign of trouble with v1.0.5. UE4SS and PalSchema haven’t named this patch in a release, but there’s either a newer release or no breakage reports since. Probably fine — skim the notes before updating.

Statuses are inferred from public release data (Steam news, GitHub, Thunderstore, Mojang/Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Modrinth APIs). They are not guarantees — verify on each project's page before updating. Items marked “Check manually” are not counted in the verdict.
ModSafe has tracked 12 Palworld patches between 2025-11-10 and 2026-09-15, about one every 28.1 days. When a framework release named the patch, it arrived a median of 11 days after the patch post (1 case). Per-framework times →

Download UE4SS-Palworld.zip, not the zDev zip. Workshop mods bring their own copy, so don't install both.

Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 1623730), checked against Steam's public build (api.steamcmd.net); updates announced only off Steam are added by hand with cited sources. Framework data comes from GitHub releases. ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
No. Pocketpair's mod guidelines forbid mods on official servers and say accounts can be banned. Use mods in single-player, on your own world or on a community server that allows them.
Steam has no 'never update' option. In your Library, open Palworld > Manage > Properties > Updates and set Automatic updates to 'Wait until I launch the game', then launch through your mod loader or play in Offline Mode. Steam has no previous-version branch for Palworld (checked Oct 26, 2026), so back up the game folder before patches; rolling back otherwise means the Steam console's download_depot command.
