While running in co-op speedrun, my friend thought if was able to do /difficulty hard then /difficulty easy since on the host player menu will go easy->normal->hard->peaceful->easy

you can go easy-normal-hard-peaceful

but if you're running LAN, you cannot turn on cheats, but you can do commands like /difficulty on a server with cheats on

not sure if you can do /difficulty without cheats

but for a timer start on lan wasn't supposed to do /time set 0 before starting moving? (just a note is co-op runs)

@LeafpoolSR is not correct. Cheats should be on in a coop run so that you are able to do /time set 0 before the start of the run and /difficulty whatever (besides peaceful obviously) is allowed.

@zt29

"For runs done on LAN, time can be started the same as singleplayer."

this means that you do NOT do /time set 0 for LAN runs

@LeafpoolSR "can be" is a possibility "must be" is a requirement. So isn't valid what u just said
