Verity Mod FAQ

Common questions about Verity Mod — what it is, how to install, Java vs Bedrock, Ollama AI setup, safety, multiplayer, updating, and more.

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. Official port of the Verity character from ThatMob’s video, made with ThatMob’s 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’s AI runs on a local model through Ollama, so conversation stays on your machine instead of going to some server. 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?

No. Without Ollama running, Verity appears in your world but won’t talk or respond. Ollama not optional — it’s the engine that powers the AI. See Ollama Setup → for the full walkthrough.

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?

Java — every client that joins needs the mod installed. Whether the server itself needs it depends on what Verity actually changes — check the project page for server-side notes. (Bedrock isn’t supported at all.)

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?

Verity JE is All Rights Reserved, so whether you can bundle it in a modpack depends on 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 Ollama issue:

  • Ollama isn’t running → start it
  • Model isn’t pulled → ollama pull <model-name>
  • Wrong model name in config → check .minecraft/config/verity/

See Ollama Setup → for the full walkthrough.
