How to change the difficulty on a Minecraft Bedrock server

Last updated on Jul 24, 2024

Minecraft Bedrock offers four main difficulty modes: Peaceful, Easy, Normal, and Hard. There are no hostile mobs in Peaceful mode, making it a non-threatening environment. Easy mode introduces hostile mobs with reduced health and damage, making survival easier. Normal mode is the standard difficulty with regular mob strength and challenge. As the name suggests, Hard mode ramps up the difficulty significantly, with tougher mobs and increased survival challenges.

Changing the difficulty in-game requires OP permissions. Learn how to grant OP here.
