Difficulty Lock adds an easy way to configure the difficulty in all (new) worlds. Can be useful for modpacks, or just in your singleplayer experience if you have a default difficulty you always play with. There are config options to force the Hardcore gamemode, disable cheats, or prevent Creative mode from being selected.
The Create World Screen is correctly updated with the config settings. Also works on (dedicated) servers.
All available config options:
Show Spoiler
The priority shows how the mod handles when multiple gamemodes are set to true in the config. E.g. if all are enabled all new worlds will be peaceful.
forceHardcoreMode default false
Sets the world game mode to hardcode mode and ignores the other difficulty settings when enabled.

Whether Creative Mode should not be possible to select in the world creation screen.

forceHard default true
Priority 4: Sets the difficulty in any world to hard when enabled.

The mod also allows users to be forced to play in Hardcore Mode, via the config:
