How to Change Terraria World Difficulty
Changing world difficulty in Terraria isn't something you can do on the fly within the same world. Each world is locked to its chosen difficulty (Classic, Expert, Master, or Journey) at creation. However, if you're playing in Journey Mode, you can adjust the difficulty slider, which affects enemy health and damage, anytime during gameplay!

Nope, can't change it. You pick the difficulty when you create the world, and that's it. Want a tougher challenge or an easier time? You gotta start a new world. Kinda like life, only with more slimes.
Actually, there's a workaround if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty with mods. TEdit is a world editor for Terraria that some players use to tweak their worlds in ways not officially supported by the game, including changing the difficulty. Be careful, though; always back up your world before dabbling with mods or external tools!
