/gamerule NumberFormat

Most of the old players are still using 1.8, 1.7, or 1.12 because they really enjoy command shortcuts. 1.13 changed the entire format of commands, as /gamemode 0 is a Minecraft tradition nowadays. If a game rule allowing numerical ids for block, difficulties, commands, and game modes were re-added, older players would use newer versions of Minecraft. This will also lead to less stress among developers and computers using alphabetical code, and while it is easier to memorize, respecting all parties is the best way to be successful.

  Numerical IDs were removed to remove the upper ID limit, it's not much of a visual change more of a technical change.

  Yeah, no... these IDs are removed with good reason, they're arbitrary, and in case of blocks and items, actually completely gone.
  
  People need to learn to cope with changes.

  I don't think it's a good idea. The command is only decided by grammar, and almost all numeral ids are removed.
