Verity Mod for Minecraft
The Verity Mod brings a smiling yellow AI companion into your Minecraft world. It talks to you, remembers your builds, and slowly turns from friendly to sinister. Verity is real and free: a Java Edition mod called Verity JE by VarmiteYT, and a Bedrock add-on called VERITY BE by Utlover65. Both come from ThatMob’s “Something” horror series on YouTube. This guide shows you the real versions, the safe download sources, and how to install each edition without breaking your game.
Choose Your Edition First
Pick the edition you actually play. Java and Bedrock files are not interchangeable, and installing the wrong file is the most common reason Verity does not work.
| Your game | Get this | File type | You also need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minecraft Java Edition (PC) | Verity JE by VarmiteYT | .jar mod | Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, GeckoLib, free Groq API key |
| Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Windows, console, mobile) | VERITY BE by Utlover65 | .mcaddon add-on | Beta APIs ON, cheats ON, connect command from the project page |
| Minecraft PE / Bedrock on mobile | VERITY BE add-on | .mcaddon add-on | Same Bedrock setup; beware of Play Store catalog apps, which are collections, not the add-on itself |
Real Verity Versions (Last Checked October 24, 2026)
| Project | Minecraft version | Loader / format | Latest version | File size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verity JE (VarmiteYT) | 1.20.1 | Forge, .jar | 5.7.4 stable (August 18, 2026) | 235 MB |
| Verity JE beta branch | 1.20.1 | Forge, .jar | 6.0.0-beta | About 258 MB |
| Verity JE NeoForge build | 1.21.1 | NeoForge, .jar | Older release, marked deprecated | Check the project page |
| VERITY BE (Utlover65) | Bedrock 26.30 | .mcaddon | Current stable build | Check the project page |
| Verity Bedrock Edition (PnTMC) | Bedrock | .mcaddon | Separate project from VERITY BE | Check the project page |
Version numbers change. Always confirm the latest file on the official project page before downloading, and never trust a site that lists a version like “v1.12.2” — no such Verity release exists.
What Is Verity Mod?
If you are wondering what is Verity, it began as a character in ThatMob’s scripted Minecraft horror series “Something,” where a mysterious presence invades a survival world. The Verity Mod in Minecraft turns that character into a small smiling yellow sphere that appears in your world and claims it only wants to help.
At first, Verity feels like a friend. It talks to you with a real voice and in chat, remembers past conversations, notices changes to your builds, and reacts to how you treat it. As in-game days pass, its smile changes, strange anomalies appear, and the companion you trusted starts to feel wrong. That slow turn from helpful to sinister is the whole idea of the mod.
Two things to understand before you install it. First, the horror story is fiction, but the software is real third-party code made by community developers with ThatMob’s permission. Second, the Java and Bedrock versions are separate projects by different creators. They share the character, not the code, so guides and files for one edition do not apply to the other.
Verity Mod Features
A Companion That Talks Back
Verity speaks with a voice and in chat, answers questions, and comments on your world. On Java it needs an AI connection to generate dialogue (a free Groq API key, or a local Ollama setup). On Bedrock it connects to an external AI server, which is why Beta APIs and cheats must be enabled.
It Remembers You
Verity remembers past conversations and notices when your builds change. That memory is what makes it feel alive at first — and unsettling later, when it mentions things it should not know.
Four Phases, From Friendly to Hostile
The longer Verity stays in your world, the more its dialogue tone, facial animations, and behavior shift. The Bedrock version uses a four-phase personality system that changes how Verity acts toward you over time.
Darker Forms
As the corruption grows, Verity can change into darker forms, including Falsity, Cruelity, and Lovity, with jumpscares and true-form transformations. Some versions let you morph into Verity forms yourself.
Totem, Skins, and Items
Verity-themed extras include a Verity totem with its own activation sound, Verity skins for your character, and a spawn box with a battery-powered flashlight in the Java version.
Built for Survival Worlds
Verity is designed for single-player survival, but it works in multiplayer too, as long as every player has the same files installed. Always test it in a new world first, never your main long-term world.
Is Verity Mod Safe?
Short answer: the official projects are real community software, but they are not risk-free, and fake copies are everywhere. Follow these rules:
- Download only from the official project pages linked above. Never use APK mirrors, EXE installers, or “download managers” — Verity needs none of those.
- Know what the mod accesses. The Java version can use your microphone, and the Bedrock add-on connects to an external AI server. Read the project page’s privacy notes before installing.
- Guard your API key. Your Groq key is yours alone. Never paste it into a random site or share screenshots that show it.
- Back up your worlds before installing any mod, and test Verity in a new world first. A mod that changes entity behavior can damage an existing save.
- If a download page shows no creator name, no version history, and a version number that does not exist anywhere else, close it. That is a mirror, not the mod.
How to Install Verity Mod (Summary)
Java Edition in 5 Steps
- Install Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and launch the game once to create the mods folder.
- Download GeckoLib for Forge 1.20.1 and the Verity JE .jar file from the official project page, and place both in the mods folder.
- Get a free Groq API key from the Groq console and paste it into the mod’s AI settings (in-game: Options, Mods, Verity JE, Config, AI Settings).
- Start a NEW world. You will spawn with a chest containing the Verity entity and a flashlight.
- Talk to Verity in chat. If it does not answer, your API key is missing or wrong — that is the most common Java setup problem.

Bedrock Edition in 5 Steps
- Download the VERITY BE .mcaddon file from the official project page and import it into Minecraft.
- In your world settings, turn on Experiments (Beta APIs) and turn on cheats.
- Enable the behavior pack and resource pack in the world settings.
- Run the connect command from the project tutorial in chat.
- Address Verity by name in chat. If it does not respond, Beta APIs or cheats are off, or the wrong build is installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Verity Mod real?
Yes. Verity is a real, free, downloadable mod. The Java version (Verity JE by VarmiteYT) and the Bedrock add-on (VERITY BE by Utlover65) are public projects on CurseForge. The character comes from ThatMob’s scripted horror series, but the software itself is real.
Is Verity Mod free?
Yes. The official Java and Bedrock projects are free. Be suspicious of any site charging for Verity or bundling it with a paid installer.
Does Verity Mod work on Java and Bedrock?
Both editions have a version, but they are different projects. Java uses the Verity JE .jar mod with Forge. Bedrock uses the VERITY BE .mcaddon add-on. Files are not interchangeable.
Does Verity Mod need Forge?
The Java version needs Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 (the NeoForge 1.21.1 build is deprecated). Bedrock does not use Forge at all — it uses the add-on system with Beta APIs.
Is Verity Mod safe for kids?
Verity is a horror mod built around suspense, creepy dialogue, and jumpscares. It is not made for young children. The Java version can also use a microphone, so check the project page’s notes before installing it for a child.
Why is Verity Mod not working?
The most common causes: wrong edition file, wrong Minecraft version, missing GeckoLib (Java), missing or wrong Groq API key (Java), or Beta APIs or cheats turned off (Bedrock). Check the edition guide linked above for your platform.
Can I play Verity Mod with friends?
Yes, if every player installs the same files and version. On Bedrock, all players need the add-on enabled in the shared world.
How do I remove Verity Mod?
On Java, close the game and delete the Verity .jar (and GeckoLib, if nothing else uses it) from the mods folder. On Bedrock, remove the behavior and resource packs from the world. Always keep a world backup before removing mods.

Conclusion
Verity is a real, free horror companion mod for Minecraft, and it is easy to enjoy safely if you start in the right place. Java and Bedrock are separate projects with different files, so choose the version that matches your game and do not mix them. Get Verity only from the official CurseForge pages for Verity JE and VERITY BE, and avoid other download sources. Before you install anything, back up your world and test Verity in a new world first, so a problem cannot damage a save you care about.
