CalcBar
by alex265
CalcBar puts a working calculator inside Minecraft, opened from the game interface, with support for complex expressions.
What it does
Players type expressions into an in-game calculator bar and read the result on screen. Common operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and parentheses are handled, so longer formulas can be entered in one line. Trigonometric and square root functions are included as well, which covers the math most builders and redstone players reach for when planning layouts.
The mod supports a set of constants used in common Minecraft calculations, so values tied to game mechanics do not have to be looked up and typed by hand. Results update as the expression is edited. The mod works with Mod Menu, which is optional and only offers a settings screen.
The mod is available on two loaders, and the latest file for each is version 1.0.0, released on 2026-03-07. The first release came out on 2026-03-06. It is not open source: the source code and issue tracker are public, but the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Standard arithmetic
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and parentheses can be combined in a single expression.
Trigonometric functions
SIN, COS and TAN are available for angle-based calculations, alongside square roots through SQRT.
Game constants
Built-in constants cover values that recur in common Minecraft calculations, saving manual lookups.
Live results
The result updates while the expression is typed, so a formula can be checked before it is used.
Stack conversion
A quarter stack shortcut, written qs, converts a count into a stack of 16 items.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who plan large builds or redstone designs and want to compute figures inside the game instead of switching to an outside calculator. The mod suits single-player worlds and clients on any server, since it does not need to run on the server.
