About this Mod

CUSTOM CHESTS adds ancient custom-made chests containing extremely old weapons, as well as surprisingly futuristic ones. These items are remnants of forgotten civilizations, stored away for centuries and now rediscovered by the player.

Open these ancient chests to obtain rare artifacts with powerful and unique abilities. Some of them are simple, some advanced, and some are dangerously unstable.

Features
Blowgun

A primitive but effective ranged weapon.

Soul Lantern

A mysterious lantern powered by soul energy.

Fog Bomb

Creates a thick fog to obscure vision and assist in escapes or ambushes.

Blowtorch

A high-heat tool capable of burning, melting, or cutting through obstacles.

Additional Weapons

The mod includes more weapons with unusual and powerful abilities, each behaving differently and providing unique advantages.

Ancient Artifacts

All weapons and tools added by this mod are ancient artifacts found inside the custom chests. Each chest generates with a mix of relics — some extremely old, others oddly futuristic — hinting at a forgotten era of advanced technology.

Special Villager

A specific villager with unique trades allows you to unlock several of the strongest weapons. Progressing through their trade tiers grants access to items that can be considered true weapons of mass destruction.
