Currently, there are four different settings to choose from, which are Peaceful, Easy, Normal, and Hard. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about them.
Here is a summary of the differences between each of the difficulty levels are.
Peaceful: Hostile mobs do not spawn naturally, except for a select few that do not deal damage to a player. When being on a higher difficulty and changing to Peaceful, all hostile mobs are automatically despawned. Additionally, player health is restored much quicker on this difficulty.
Easy: Hostile mobs do spawn on this difficulty, however, they do little damage compared to Normal level. Player health does not decrease when they are starving.
Normal: The default value, hostile mobs deal normal damage and a player's health will decrease by 1 heart when they are starving. Additionally, villagers have a 1/2 chance of becoming a zombie when they are killed by one.
Hard: Hostile mobs cause more damage than Normal and players can starve to death. Villages will become zombies when they are killed by one and zombies can break through doors.
