ChatQalc
Powerful Qalculate! calculator now available directly in Minecraft chat. This mod integrates the full-featured console utility qalc into the game interface.
Main Features
When Minecraft starts, a portable version of the interactive qalc calculator is automatically installed and activated. Works directly in the chat window (opened with T or / key).
Chat Controls
- NumPadEnter or Ctrl+Enter — send message to calculator instead of chat
- Ctrl+Tab — convert last expression without spaces to calculated result (spaces escaped with backslash)
- Shift+Enter — send query to calculator and replace chat field with last line of result (you can review the result and send it to everyone by pressing Enter)
- Ctrl+Shift+Enter — similar to Ctrl+Enter, but result is broadcast from your name to the entire server without color formatting (convenient for multi-line results)
