I want the game difficulties to be not just about combat, but to be essentially bundles of game rules+datapacks, to essentially feel like separate gamemodes. Make Peaceful easier (renewable everything, no tool durability), and Hardcore harder (no villages, harder early game progression etc)
When I first started out, I assumed this was more how it worked. I definitely thought that game difficulty affected resource generation. Easier settings meant more ores scattered around (and at higher levels) while harder made them super-rare, etc.
