Why are mobs getting so strong?

[shuff]

So...
Today, I was mining, so then, I found a zombie spawners, I was like "YAY", but for my bad luck, zombies with iron armors and iron swords spawned infront of me, and killed me, WOW.
Kaise, you really have to make the survival normal, not hard!
Also, while I was in another faction (ambition), me and bluestar5 found a skeleton with a diamond armor, and other skeletons with gold and iron armors.
So please, I would be glad if you do something about it.
Thanks.

Those mobs are part of the standard game? I don't really see why we would want to get rid of them.

Exi could you come so that we can take care of it? in the base.

Mojang made it so that the longer you stay in one area the stronger the mobs will get.

Yeah, I can confirm that the Survival world is set to 'normal' difficulty and that there are no plugins affecting what mobs have equipped.

Honestly did not know that!

I want to go test it now. :3

I think they made that the longer you stay in one area, more mobs will spawn.
