 Description   

I'm having an issue with peaceful mode I was on peaceful mode and I still saw mobs like Zombies,Creepers etc.

Gatharian added (from MCPE-20991)
I'm having 2 different problems.

  1. The game difficulty setting is not kept when you exit your world.
  2. While in world, I cannot select the game difficulty "Hard" until I have selected the difficulties Normal or Easy first.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a new world.
  • Set the game difficulty to Peaceful.
  • Create the world.
  • While you're in the world change your game difficulty to Hard.
  • You may not be able to select the game difficulty until you select Easy or Normal first.
  • Once the game difficulty is set open the menu again.
  • Notice that the game difficulty is correctly set to "Hard".
  • Close your world.
  • Edit your world.
  • Notice the game difficulty is set to Peaceful again!

Reopening - This is not fixed for Survival only worlds, no cheats enabled. You still cannot change the difficulty in-game.

Closing this as the bug that persists is slightly different, please see MCPE-21422

Since it is confirmed I won't have to post another report on it.

I've tested around this and it seems that when changing difficulty level "in game" the change does not take effect.
Editing the world difficulty level from the Worlds tab works before entering a world from the list.

However, once set and the world is loaded, any change to difficulty made by invoking the menu (back button on an android device), selecting settings and modifying the difficulty will not take effect.

This is true for transition from any difficulty to any other difficulty be it Peaceful, Easy, Normal and Hard to any different difficulty level.

Confirmed for 1.1.0.0 - changing the difficulty doesn't seem to work, and hostile mobs still exist and spawn even in 'Peaceful'.
