Suggestion: Add Table to Allow input of Integer Data

As of right now, unless I am missing things, (which is entirely possible!) there is no simple way for a student in a Minecraft world to enter a numeric value as a solution to a problem. Considering that a student can create chemical compounds, blocks and execute code, I was wondering if there were a way to have students enter a numeric value as an answer to a problem.

This would be extremely valuable to enhance the productivity of lessons in Minecraft worlds.

I was thinking that students could have a crafting-type table with sliders like the element creator to enter three digit values.

In this case, the operator of the world could have previously set this crafting table to have a particular value to be the correct integer response. A correct response could result in a consequence such as an electric charge, resulting in a opened door to progress in the game.

Another possible consequence could be that the table could distribute an item as selected by the operator as a reward. (with a message, as in, "You now have three emeralds!!!")

Thanks for considering this. Math teachers everywhere will love you.

Thank you for the great feedback Debbie Alexander. I'll share this with our team!

It would be possible to either create NPC's with multiple choice buttons. Or more advanced, can use slash commands to place redstone at a specific numbers to "solve" a problem ie. /place "redstone block" answer1, answer2, answer3 to get a reaction if correct

You could also use make code: create your own blocks that take numbers that do something to indicate weather they are correct or not.
