Casual Mode

Since I started playing Minecraft, a lot of new mobs have been added. There are now water monsters, sky monsters, deep dark monsters etc. Tons of new things to explore, though it's nearly impossible to explore a lush cave. Easy just isn't easy anymore. Peaceful mode is just not fun to me or anyone I play with, so please don't mention it. There are so many things you lose on peaceful. You lose skeleton horses if you have some, hostile mob farms are useless and there is no danger at all. This is not what I want. A scalable difficulty would be ideal, but I know that isn't going to happen, so how about a Casual Mode? Not peaceful but playable to those of us who want to explore and still have hostile mobs. An option to control spawn rates for every mob would be great. A slider perhaps?. We play on a realm on an Xbox so this would have to be in the game not an add on. I'm looking to unwind after work or play with the grandkids on the weekends. Introducing stress is not what I'm after, but some challenge is welcome.

    the mob spawning scales based on your difficulty already, on easy mobs barely spawn around you, but they still spawn. and on hard, they constantly spawn around you.

    there definitely needs to be a change to mob spawning overall to balance the game / mob farming, but for difficulty i think they're well balanced enough (except for hard becoming the easiest one after you hit end game)

    Apparently I did not successfully communicate the purpose of my message. Understand, I want this discussion to be constructive when I say this. I'm not looking for opinions from anyone who plays on higher difficulties. I understand some people want more challenge and I'm glad those options are available. I am looking for options to make the game easier since many of the updates in the last few years have made the game more difficult. It isn't a question of balance. It's a request for more options.
