Expressions Provider
Expressions Provider lets server owners and modpack authors place evaluated math expressions into MiniPlaceholders text, so a single placeholder can carry calculated values.
What it does
Expressions Provider adds MiniPlaceholders placeholders that evaluate complex mathematical text expressions. The expression language supports operations such as division remainder and rounding down to an integer, and it follows operator precedence, so 2 + 3 4 evaluates to 14. Expressions are written inside placeholder tags and resolved each time the text is shown.
The mod requires MiniPlaceholders, which supplies the placeholder system that Expressions Provider plugs into. It is built for Fabric and Quilt, and it is also available for the Paper, Purpur, Folia, Sponge and Velocity server platforms. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Files cover 1.7.2 – 1.21.8 across 76 release versions, with 2.0.0 as the latest file for 1.21.8.
Key features

Round down integer
An operation rounds a value down to the nearest integer, keeping displayed numbers whole.
