Calculations are a string starting with a operator in `+-*/^%` and followed by a path. The order of calculation is like that on a basic calculator that cannot input expressions. All calculations is done in integer. Example: Show content for compact drawers in storage drawers mod ``` storagedrawers:compdrawers#single#BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.0.Item;BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Count;/BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.0.Conv storagedrawers:compdrawers#single#BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.1.Item;BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Count;/BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.1.Conv storagedrawers:compdrawers#single#BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.2.Item;BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Count;/BlockEntityTag.Drawers.Items.2.Conv ``` ###
