Configuration

Basic chests configuration - data/actions/scripts/custom/cursed_chest.lua Here you can set chance to spawn given tier and text to be shown on spawned chest. Change item to ids of your chests if you want different chest look for each tier.

CURSED_CHESTS_TIERS = {
    {
        tier = CURSED_CHESTS_TIER_COMMON,
        chance = 70,
        text = "Common Cursed Chest",
        item = 1750
    },
    {
        tier = CURSED_CHESTS_TIER_RARE,
        chance = 50,
        text = "Rare Cursed Chest",
        item = 1750
    },
    {
        tier = CURSED_CHESTS_TIER_EPIC,
        chance = 30,
        text = "Epic Cursed Chest",
        item = 1750
    },
    {
        tier = CURSED_CHESTS_TIER_LEGENDARY,
        chance = 10,
        text = "Legendary Cursed Chest",
        item = 1750
    }
}
