Make minecraft "hard mode" harder

Minecraft for years has had balancing issues, and a lot of the posts here discussing MC being harder don't tackle the real issues, they focus on endgame features, I want core gameplay fixes.

MC was balanced back in beta 1.7.3, the following updates added features making MC easier and now people get bored (you know the 2 week MC phase).

There are players who don't want MC to be too hard, which is why easy should stay the same.

Here are the features that make the game easier

-beds

-sprinting

-elytra

-netherite

-enchantments

-shields

-mob AI being easier to fight

Here are my proposals:

Add a game rule to disable the ability to sleep, disable elytra, disable netherite, disable enchantments (or be able to limit what level each enchant can be from within the game)

In hard mode, the mobs should actually be hard, so far all hard mode does is make villager trading easier and the mild inconvenience of mobs breaking doors (a few other things like mob spawns and hunger, but it's mostly not noticeable).

Hard mode should give mobs more health and higher attack damage in order to make up for enchantments and netherite

Mobs should also be faster in order to make up for sprinting (not as fast as baby zombies, but making it so zombies can run a little faster in hard mode will go a long way). Creatures should have more powerful explosions).

Mob AI needs to overall be fixed as when a mob is hit, it pauses for a moment before attacking whereas in MC beta the attacks were relentless, this completely breaks PVM

    having these gamerules can make minecraft more enjoyable for veterans who want more of a challenge and improve servers who want to disable netherite, sleeping, elytra etc etc

    sprinting can't really be removed so naturally the opposite end is to make it so mobs can sprint (not as fast as the player or baby zombie though)

    sprint jumping should also be nerfed

    And I know the guidelines suggest one feature in requests but these features are very small and the main takeaway is to make minecraft harder, also it seems more like a suggestion rather than rule

    this could easily be worked in jebs combat update (the combat snapshots we've been having if thats not going to be added in the next update)

    minecraft needs to be balanced, it's not a survival game anymore, now minecraft can allow you to become a god in your world and it gets boring
