Expert Mode

Expert Mode is intended to provide an increased challenge to the average survival playthrough.

Features:

• Most options are configurable through a common config file and in game using the /expertmode command and enabling/disabling features on a per world basis from there.
• Make some negative potion effects last indefinitely until either the player characer dies or uses an antidote to clear the effect.
• Burning lasts indefinitely or until the flames are extinguished.  A new extinguish potion has been added to clear fire in places like the nether.
• Increased explosion damage.
• Added new versions of the protection enchantments that swap out in place of the vanilla variants.
• Monsters can spawn with increased health.
• Monsters at night can receive a damage and protection bonus.
• Guardians are now more dangerous.
• Environmental damages have been increased.
• Added new curses to armor.
• Added new bleeding effect.
• Added new wounded effect.
• Added new infection effect.
• The wither boss now applies effects to the player during the fight and will despawn if the player is out of range.
• Milk buckets removing negative effects is disabled and has been replaced with antidotes and milk bottles.
• Bonus Features: (disabled by default)
• Instant Death Mode: Any damage will kill the player.
• Exploding Mobs Mode: Any mob that is killed will explode.
• Disable XP from dropping.

I would recommend you play on difficulty HARD.
