Additional Peaceful Mode: All Mobs still spawn

There are a lot of items you really can't get a hold of (at least in usable quantities) in Peaceful mode, even if you raid every temple and dungeon you come across. A lot of suggestions to fix this involve adding new blocks, like fossils for bones and sulfur ore for gunpowder.

Instead of that, what if Peaceful mode still spawned every mob it normally would, but they just don't fight anything? Skeletons and Creepers still show up as often as in other difficulties, but they don't try to attack you, even if you attack first. Zombies don't even try to kill villagers (this is "peaceful" mode after all).

This new Peaceful mode solves a few issues:
a) every player will have access to every drop
b) switching to peaceful mode doesn't kill mobs with nametags like it does now (no more missing pet creepers, plus structures like igloos will make sense even in peaceful mode)

The only downside is that it makes it harder to outright prevent hostile mobs from spawning, but with the gamerules we have access to, it isn't that much more difficult.

    I think this will be an amazing idea. Although I agree it would make the game “too easy” there is a whole side of the Minecraft community that would would like or need this. It can be a toggled option. I like to play in peaceful, I like to build and adventure, I like a laidback game... but because of that I’m not allowed to fight skeletons that come in my home. I don’t get to play the way I’d like. Make this an option for those of us who want it.

    i would call this "Passive Mode"
    which could be enabled/disabled on any difficulty level
    minecraft creators surely missed the beat on this one :)
    perhaps it's by design to make sure players don't have the best experience possible xD

    so, there are several custom modifications available to make this happen!
    look for:
    - Passive Mobs [mod] (curseforge)
    - Apathetic Mobs Reborn [mod] (curseforge)
    - Neutral Hostiles [datapack] (curseforge)

    I agree, it's like you're being in Creative Mode and they just ignore you, even after attacking them. I did not thought about the Zombies should ignore Villagers, though, great idea.

    I'd like to call it "Peaceful Plus" or "Peaceful+"... whatever fits better; if someone else has a better name, go for it. :)
