Minecraft 1.8 introduced a new feature map feature: the ability to permanently lock the map's difficulty settings. While this is a great way to encourage yourself to play without cheating, it's also frustrating if the difficulty is locked in a setting you don't want. Read on as we show you how to both permanently change and unlock those settings.

What is lock difficulty?
Chances are, if you found this item via a search query, you know exactly what a difficulty lock is and you're ready to get rid of it. Keeping everyone else up to date: Difficulty locking is a feature introduced in Minecraft 1.8 that allows players to permanently lock the difficulty setting of a non-cheat-enabled survival game.
This feature was introduced after players requested it, as it prevents you from changing the difficulty to avoid a difficult situation. So, if you set the game up to survive, don't cheat, and have hard difficulties, you can't change the difficulty of the game with one touch to protect yourself (for example, all monsters Make it a "peaceful" difficulty. After missing you find yourself completely lost and hungry in an abandoned mine).
The game's difficulty isn't locked by default, but you can find a setting to do this by pressing the "ESC" key to open the Settings menu, and then navigating to the "Options" submenu.
The difficulty lock (seen in blue above) is located right next to the difficulty selection button. Once you hit the lock button and confirm your choice, the difficulty level for the map cannot be changed with the settings in the menu and only enable in-game cheats via some kind of backdoor hack. or by editing the actual game. file. Let us now have a look at both methods.
Changing the difficulty with the LAN cheat
If you just want to change the difficulty setting and don't care if you actually unlock it, there's a little trick that relies on opening your game for local LAN play. It doesn't matter if you're not playing with anyone else (or if you even have another computer on your network). When you open a game for LAN play, you have the ability to change the game mode (for example, Survival to Creative) and turn cheats on and off.
First, let's take a look at setting difficulties in our test world.
It is currently set to "Hard" and is locked. There's no way to change the options with the in-game menu and clicking the lock icon or the difficulty selection button doesn't produce any results. Time to bring the old open-to-lan trick to work around the lock.
To do this, press the "ESC" key to open the Settings menu, click "Open for LAN" and then when presented with the LAN game options, select "Allow Cheat" as shown in the figure below :on" select. Screenshot above.
Once cheats are enabled, you can use console commands to change the difficulty setting despite the lockdown. Go back to the game and press the "T" key to open the chat/console.
Enter the command "/peaceful difficulty" to change the difficulty level. (The designations for the difficulty levels are "peaceful", "easy", and "hard" or "0", "1", "2", respectively.)
Now when you look at the settings menu again, you will see that the difficulty level has been adjusted based on console command parameters.
Note, however, that the difficulty setting is still locked. Other than enabling cheats to open your game in a LAN and make any changes every time you restart the game, you won't be able to adjust the difficulty level.
If you just want to make a change, like if you find that you don't like the higher difficulty level and you want to dial it back to a lower level permanently, this hack is perfect and requires no external software. Not there; Changes will persist over time, even if you quit the game and lose the open to LAN cheat mode you've enabled. If you want to unlock the lock yourself (and don't want to adjust settings behind the scenes with just console commands) you'll need to use a Minecraft level editor.
Difficulty Lock Unlock
While the hack described above without any additional software required will be sufficient for most people who only want to change the difficulty setting once, for those of you who prefer to adjust the difficulty on the fly without resorting to commands. . Of console cheats, then a more permanent solution is in order.
To make permanent changes to Lockdown Mode, you'll need to edit the actual game file, level.dat. However, you can't just slap the file in a text editor, as Minecraft uses a specific format known as Named Binary Tags (NBT). To do that, we need to turn to a tool you can use in the previous Minecraft tutorial, How to Change a Minecraft World from Survival to Creative to Hardcore, NBTExplorer.
NBTExplorer is a free cross-platform specially designed for editing Minecraft NBT-based game files. You can find versions for Windows, Mac and Linux on the NTBExplorer GitHub page or read more about it in the official thread on the Minecraft forums.
Note: Although this technique is very safe and unlikely to harm your data, always back up your world data before editing. If you don't know how to do that, check out our guide to backing up Minecraft data here.
Download and run the app. By default, it looks for world data in your default Minecraft save folder, but if you want to edit a save located outside of the default directory, you can use the File -> Open command to locate the file. You can always browse through it.
