Verity Mod FAQ

What is Verity Mod, one line?

Minecraft Java mod that adds a glowing yellow AI sphere called Verity — follows you, talks, remembers how you treat it. The project page calls it an official adaptation of the Verity character, made with ThatMob’s explicit permission.

Is it free?

Yeah. Free on CurseForge and Modrinth. Site wants money, a survey, or a “loader” program? Not the real mod — see Is It Real?.

Java or Bedrock?

Java only. Forge 1.20.1 or NeoForge 1.21.1. No Bedrock version, and any “Verity Bedrock” download floating around is fake. (Why →)

Which Minecraft versions work?

• Forge: Minecraft 1.20.1 (latest Verity 5.7.3)
• NeoForge: Minecraft 1.21.1 (latest Verity 3.4.1)

Older Minecraft versions aren’t supported by current builds. Always check the file’s target version on the project page first.

Does Verity work with Fabric?

No. Verity only has official builds for Forge (1.20.1) and NeoForge (1.21.1). No Fabric version, no plans for one.

Why does Verity need Ollama?

Verity supports two AI modes: local (Ollama) and cloud (Groq/OpenRouter). This guide covers Ollama, which runs the AI model on your own machine. Install Ollama, pull the model the project specifies, leave it running while you play. Setup in the Java guide.

Can I use Verity without Ollama?

Yes, but you’ll need a cloud AI instead. Verity supports Groq API and OpenRouter as cloud alternatives to Ollama. These require an API key (both have free tiers) but offer faster responses without local hardware requirements. Choose cloud mode if you don’t want to install Ollama or need faster responses. See Ollama Setup → for local mode details, or check the mod’s config options for cloud setup.

Does Verity turn into a monster?

Yes — that’s the core of the mod. After a countdown (5 in-game days by default), Verity transforms into the Verity Demon, a hostile entity that breaks through doors and glass to reach you. The mod doesn’t spring it on you silently: Verity warns you along the way, including the line “something is coming in two days” near the end. After transformation there’s a brief plea window where you can try to calm it, and killing the Demon resets the cycle.

Can I stop Verity from transforming?

Yes. Setting your world to Peaceful prevents the transformation entirely, and the Day Count option in the mod’s settings controls how many days the countdown runs. If it’s already transformed, killing the Demon resets things so a new cycle starts.

What is the Karma system?

Verity remembers how you treat it. Friendly conversation can earn you free items — wood, food, torches. Being hostile gets your supply cut off. Talk to it like you’d talk to a person who might stop helping you, because that’s exactly what it is.

Does Verity’s voice work in my language?

Text chat works in any language your AI model supports. The voice features (speech-to-text and text-to-speech) have only been tested in English, per the official mod page — so if voice input or output misbehaves in another language, that’s the likely reason.

Is it safe?

From CurseForge or Modrinth, yeah — both scan uploads. Risk is entirely from third-party reupload sites that mess with the file. More at Is It Real?.

Is Verity a virus or malware?

No. Real Verity JE from CurseForge or Modrinth is not malware. Fake reuploads on shady sites may contain viruses. Always download from the official project pages, never from random websites. Already downloaded from a sketchy site? Delete it, run antivirus scan, re-download from CurseForge or Modrinth.

Can I use it on a server?

Yes, on Java Edition — every client that joins needs the mod installed on their own machine. Whether the server itself needs it depends on what Verity actually changes. Some servers require the mod server-side for full functionality, others work fine with just client-side installs. Check the project page on CurseForge or Modrinth for server-side notes.

A few things to keep in mind for multiplayer: each player’s Verity is independent — your Verity doesn’t interact with another player’s Verity. The AI conversations are private to your client. Some servers block AI chat features or have mod blacklists, so check with your server admin before installing. Bedrock Edition doesn’t support Verity at all, so multiplayer on Bedrock isn’t an option.

How do I update?

Download the new version from CurseForge or Modrinth and swap the old .jar in your mods folder for the new one. Back up your worlds and config first. Check the project page for any breaking changes between versions.

Can I put Verity in a modpack?

Modpack bundling comes down to what the author allows — check the project page on CurseForge or Modrinth before redistributing, and link to the official file rather than rehosting the .jar yourself.

What hardware do I need?

• RAM: At least 4 GB for Minecraft (6 GB+ recommended with other mods)
• Disk: ~5 GB free for Ollama and the AI model
• GPU: Not required — Ollama runs on CPU. NVIDIA GPU with 4+ GB VRAM makes responses faster but isn’t mandatory
• OS: Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or Linux

How do I know which file to download?

1. Know your Minecraft version (1.20.1 or 1.21.1)
2. Know your mod loader (Forge or NeoForge)
3. Download the matching .jar from CurseForge or Modrinth

Don’t know your loader? Probably don’t have one installed yet. Start with the Install Guide →

What if Verity doesn’t show up?

• Launched the wrong profile (vanilla instead of Forge/NeoForge)
• .jar is in the wrong mods folder
• Required dependency is missing
• Wrong Minecraft version for the mod version

See Troubleshooting → for more.

What if Verity won’t talk?

Almost always an AI backend issue:

• Local mode: Ollama isn’t running → start it
• Local mode: model isn’t pulled → ollama pull <model-name>
• Local mode: model name doesn’t match → check ollama list and set the exact name (with the tag) in the mod’s AI settings
• Cloud mode: API key missing or invalid → check the key in the mod’s AI settings

See Ollama Setup → for the full walkthrough.
