Please reopen this, it is a parity issue with java

No need for a toggle, I simply don't see a situation where the numbers in the hotbar would get in the way

Comment by BeeTeeKay64 [ 08/Nov/20 ]

This issue should definitely be reopened, not only because of Java Parity but people may still need to see the numbers of items in their hotbar, especially since on the Windows 10 edition, you grab a stack of items/blocks instead of one individual item/block. At the very least there should be a toggle in the accessibility or video settings that shows the number.

Still affects 1.16.200.53. Please consider reopening this, as it breaks parity with Java

The fact that you consume a compass when using on a lodestone in creative mode also makes you need to know how many items you have. MCPE-96258

Mojang, please reopen this.

Comment by bugsbugsbugs [ 30/Jul/20 ]

However if you drop an item in creative mode, you will consume it, so you need to know how often you have it.

This is not an issue with the game's code as it's already been done through behavior packs (like this one made by @wildthegamer_ for example). Adding it to the game would help a lot in some scenarios when the amount of items you have matter

More than two years later it's safe to say the creative inventory has matured a lot, but this issue has never been addressed by the developers. Could this be reopened now?

Fixing this would bring the bedrock version one step closer to being equal with the Java version.

Comment by PHO [ 19/Feb/16 ]

Yes it's inconsistent. I completely agree with _0x10c. But since the creative inventory is still a work in progress, it is very likely that devs are aware of this inconsistency and will fix it later.

Comment by 8times9 [ 18/Feb/16 ]

Let me list my arguments:

1) This "feature" is not present in any other versions of Minecraft.

2) This is inconsistent. Showing items numbers only in your inventory or in a chest is not continuous.

3) This is just plain annoying. Making me open my inventory just to see how many dirt blocks I have is annoying.

Comment by HyperCamel [ 18/Feb/16 ]

I think I'm going to agree with the other commenters on this one, it's a WAI issue.

Comment by 8times9 [ 18/Feb/16 ]

Then item numbers should be visible nowhere.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 18/Feb/16 ]

I think this WAI. (You don't need multiples of items in creative, as the items don't get used up when placing them. However, you get a full stack when transferring the items in chests/inventory etc)

Edited for clarity.
