To change a world's difficulty in Terraria, you actually gotta make a new world with your desired difficulty setting. Terraria locks in the difficulty when you create the world, so no mid-game switches. But hey, a fresh start can be a new adventure!
You're stuck with it, friend. The difficulty is set when you create your world. Next time, choose wisely!
Just start over, you can't change the difficulty of a world you've already made. Consider it a reason to try new strategies from the get-go!
