Palworld Gender Settings Debunked: Body Type 1 vs Type 2 and What Pocketpair Actually Changed
Q1: Can you swap from a male body to a female body without restarting your Palworld save?
A1: Yes. Once you build an Antique Mirror (unlocked at Level 19 for 1 Technology Point), you can access the full creation screen at any time and switch freely between Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 without losing items, levels, or Pals.
Q2: Is there an actual Male or Female checkbox in Palworld?
A2: No. The game uses "Body Type 1" (masculine archetype) and "Body Type 2" (feminine archetype). Pocketpair does not utilize traditional biological sex markers or pronoun selectors in the UI.
Q3: Does changing your character's voice require special items?
A3: No special consumables are needed. Voice presets can be swapped alongside hair, face, and body sliders directly through the Antique Mirror interface at zero material cost after construction.
Q4: Why can't I access the Antique Mirror right away when starting a fresh world?
A4: The mirror is tied to the mid-tier survival progression loop. You must earn enough experience to hit Technology Level 19. If you are playing on a multiplayer server, however, you can use an Antique Mirror built by any guildmate at their camp immediately.
