How To Change the Difficulty on a Minecraft Server

Overview
Difficulty in Minecraft determines the level of challenge players encounter during the game. There are four difficulty settings: Peaceful, Easy, Normal, and Hard. Peaceful mode removes hostile mobs, and grants infinite health and hunger. Easy mode introduces weaker hostile mobs. Normal mode provides moderate challenges, while Hard mode increases mob strength and damage. Players can select the difficulty that best suits their playstyle and desired level of challenge.

Note: Changing the difficulty in-game requires OP permission. Learn how to give OP permissions here.
