Is it possible to jump to Nth buffer?

I'm seeing a "new" trend in tabline plugins and I don't understand it
It's also not a (super) new idea – my plugin is just a Lua ripoff of [vim-buftabline](https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline), which had its first commit in 2014, and I think Airline may have had it before then.

How do you work with buffers?
I use barbar.nvim for displaying buffers as tabs and whenever I feel like I have too many open I run :BufferCloseAllButVisible (from a mapping), and it closes every buffer except those I have currently visible
