Can someone please explain to me why this is happening? I've tried using both the Minehut Website Console and the in-game commands to change the difficulty but it is stuck on easy. If I look in the Website it says the difficulty is hard, but mobs won't spawn and when I log in to the game and use /difficulty it will still say "The difficulty is Peaceful". This is also after many server restarts and client-side relogs to troubleshoot this on my own. If anyone has a fix for this it would be much appreciated!
