Frequently asked questions

What does /difficulty do in Bedrock?

Sets the difficulty level.

Why doesn't /difficulty work?

Commands require cheats: they are enabled in the world settings — after which achievements in this world are no longer awarded. This command can be executed by the world host or a command block.

How does /difficulty in Bedrock differ from Java?

In Java, there is a command /difficulty, but it is written differently: parameters, names, and order vary by edition. A Java command will not work as-is in Bedrock.
