The most downloaded mods for Palworld vary from quality-of-life changes to simplified gameplay and additional UI enhancements. Currently, many of the most downloaded mods tweak issues some players may feel frustrated with. These modifications can give many gamers a more enjoyable time playing the game and can even help players focus more on catching pals.

This list only features mods that directly affect the game and does not include mods that allow players to edit in-game data.

1 Map Unlocker

Map Unlocker Palworld

Palworld manages to create a perfect mix of exploration and survival. One downside to a locked map is that some players will have to unlock the map again on every new world. MapUnlocker, however, shows the full map and works on multiplayer.

The mod does not unlock fast-travel locations; they must be activated manually first. All bosses and fast travel locations can be seen by a new character, as the mod removes the initial fog from undiscovered regions.

2 Carry Weight Increase

In any resource management game, limiting inventory space can frustrate many players. Since Carry Weight Increase is the second most downloaded mod, it's a fair assumption to say that many Palworld players find the limiting inventory space to be too much of a hassle.

The mod adjusts the weight stat to raise the weight limit by 250 per level and increases the starting carry weight to 1000. Players also have the option to decrease the weight of all items by half or entirely if needed. The mod works on dedicated servers and single-player.

3 Pal Analyzer

Analyzing pals in the wild gives no info besides their name, type, and level. Pal Analyzer, however, integrates an analysis mechanic that progressively gets better as gamers keep playing. The analyzer uses vanilla UI to help the mod blend in with the base game.

The analyzer informs players of passive and active skills, the number of specific pals in the palbox, capture count, and pal stats. Seeing the capture count is a tremendous help when trying to level up quickly.

4 Faster Breeding

Breeding pals can be time-consuming when most of the task requires players to wait. Players can cut down on the waiting by downloading the Faster Breeding mod. Faster Breeding also provides players with the option to breed pals using berries instead of cake.

There are a ton of different Passive Skills to see in Palworld, and not all of them are good. However, these are the best ones to breed on new Pals.

The mod includes several time options for breeding that include 1, 10, 30, 60, and 150 seconds. Players can also revert to the default timer and eliminate the need for cakes and breed only using unbaked berries.

5 Basic Minimap

User Downloads: 154,098

Basic Minimap palworld

In a game full of exploration, having no minimap to guide the player can get annoying. However, gamers can install the Basic Minimap mod to add a minimap with quality-of-life features. Players can adjust the minimap to hide during battle, change opacity, and zoom inside caves. The minimap also changes brightness depending on the time in the game.

A great deal of Palworld players believe that having a minimap is crucial, as seen by the fact that Basic Minimap is one of the most downloaded mods for the game. Having a map in an open-world game improves the player's experience by making navigation easier, which is why it can be especially helpful in Palworld.

6 AlwaysFastTravel

Having access to the Always Fast Travel mod can significantly save time for busy gamers. With it, players can fast-travel from any location by using their map. The mod also includes a fast-move mode that allows players to explore areas faster.

AlwaysFastTravel offers the option for players to escape from a dungeon, which can be very useful for those who find themselves stuck in one. The ability to always fast travel gives players more time to focus on capturing new pals, farm resources, and enjoy the overall game.

7 Remove Flying Stamina Cost

Flying mounts offer players one of the fastest ways to traverse the map of Palworld. The stamina restrictions of flying, however, can hinder the enjoyment for some players, but the option to Remove Flying Stamina Cost is an excellent solution.

Players can now dart across the map and explore to their heart's content without having a stamina limitation. While this may feel like cheating to some, the option to increase one's base stamina to fly for longer periods is still available.
