Undead can only be killed by Smite or Fire!

I'm requesting a survival mode game rule that makes killing Undead mobs more challenging, increasing the damage type requirements. Physical damage types like fists and swords, can't kill them only knock them back, along with the other types of damage like from arrows, they don't take any damage from cactus just knockback, also drip stone, suffocation, drowning, powdered snow, and fall damage, and even other mobs can't damage undead with physical damage only. They can only be killed by weapons enchanted with smite or fire aspect or flame. Undead are already healed by the harming effect and they can be killed with instant healing effect like from tipped arrows. Also Undead can still die when they burn in direct sunlight unless they're wearing a helmet. Of course they can be killed by lava and fire and soulfire, as well as campfires and magma blocks, explosions, and the void. also ghast fireballs, blazes, dragon's breath. Part of the challenge is that undead in deserts like husks don't burn in sunlight, which makes deserts way more challenging because they have to use fire to kill them early game. Also Wither skeletons and Zombified piglins don't burn from fire so in order to kill them you need to have Smite or healing potions which gives people a reason to use them when they go to the nether making nether fortresses way more challenging.

    Axolotls can play dead to heal so what if potentially undead could fall onto the ground when they take enough physical damage to die they won't fully die unless their damaged by something that will kill them, but they don't regenerate like axolotls, so they're just crawling around on the ground or immobilized but still there to attack.
    maybe other zombies could even climb onto the immobilized zombies to get higher up, and climb over a fortress wall.

    Also to balance this out maybe skeleton can become bowless when they run out of arrows and then they have to punch only just like zombies.
    if all skeletons only have 64 arrows to shoot, unless they pick up more or the same arrows they shot.

    iron golems attack Undead but they don't deal the right kind of damage so what if iron golems could be enchanted with Smite, fire aspect.
    maybe the book it could just be clicked but that doesn't make any sense. carved pumpkins can already be enchanted with curses like cursive binding so if they were enchanted with Smite and fire aspect enchantments then the pumpkin would spawn an iron golem that can deal that to type of damage.
    this would potentially also allow for snow golems to be created with flame so they can shoot flaming snowballs lol.
    or they can just get destroyed by the undead with this game rule on because they can only knock them back.
