How To Edit Dropped-Item Maximum Value on a Palworld Server

Note:

This setting is one of the most effective ways to manage server performance. Reducing the DropItemMaxNum ensures that “world clutter” (like discarded stones or wood) doesn’t build up and cause your server’s RAM usage to spike or create significant “entity lag” for players as they explore the map

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Stop Your Server

---

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Open the ‘PalWorldSettings.ini’ File

Navigate to:

Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini

---

5. Adjust the Max Item Count

Tip: Use Ctrl + F to quickly find the required setting inside PalWorldSettings.ini

Search for DropItemMaxNum=

Setting Value	Limit Status	Best Use Case
500 – 1000	Aggressive	Best for high-population servers to maximise FPS and reduce lag.
3000	Default	The standard balance between convenience and performance.
5000+	High Capacity	Great for small private servers where players want to keep every drop.

6. Start Your Server
