Game play for minors/ Mob control

I love this game! I've been playing for years.( x box 360, Nintendo wii, wii u, Nintendo switch) But I have a problem. I only play in peaceful mode. I would love to be able to play with OUT certain mobs. Zombies, witches, allays, vexes,husks,etc etc. So having the ability to turn individual mobs ON and OFF would be amazing! I want to be able to experience hunger. Or the danger of naturally occurring mobs such as wolves, spiders, and bears. These elements make the game more fun and life like.....I have a young child, I would like him to be able to enjoy these things too. But not other hostile mobs. Please PLEASE give us parents and players greater control over gameplay! Thank you!
