||| To be able to use commands in-game you need to first OP yourself. [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-op-yourself-on-your-minecraft-server-1l4zakc/) is our guide for doing so.

|| NOTE: You don’t need to use `< >` and you need to choose one of the four alternatives.

**For example:  **

* If you want to remove all aggressive mobs, just type `/difficulty peaceful`.  
* If you want to put it in normal mode, you just need to type `/difficulty normal`.
