The original ThatMob video was scripted fiction — but real, fan-made Verity mods now exist for both Minecraft Java and Bedrock Editions, and the most popular one has passed 4.6 million downloads. Here's who made them, what they need, and what to check first — verified against each project's CurseForge page in July 2026.
There's no official Verity mod from Mojang, Microsoft, or ThatMob. But independent fan creators have built real, downloadable unofficial mods using the Verity name — Java Edition mods and several Bedrock add-ons — all hosted on CurseForge. The most popular of these, a Bedrock add-on by PnTMC, has passed 4.6 million downloads and was verified July 2026 at version 26.30 (2.1.0) for Minecraft 1.21.90 — real, active projects, not one-off uploads.
Playing Bedrock (mobile, console, Windows): go straight to "Verity — Bedrock Edition" by PnTMC — most downloads, most frequently updated.
Playing Java: go straight to "Verity JE" by VarmiteYT — the only version whose CurseForge listing states explicit permission from ThatMob, and currently the fastest-growing of the four (1.6M+ downloads, up from ~600K two weeks ago). Use its Forge 1.20.1 build; its NeoForge branch is currently flagged as buggy by the mod itself.
Scroll down for the full comparison and the other two options if the first pick doesn't fit your setup.
These are two completely separate fan projects, built by different creators for different game editions. Make sure you know which edition you play before downloading anything.
| Java Edition | Bedrock Edition |
|---|---|
| Requires: Forge + GeckoLib | Requires: Beta APIs enabled + cheats on |
| Interaction: some builds use mic (Y key) or chat | Interaction: chat only, via a "Verity" command |
| Backend: can run partly local, some voice/TTS features call an external API | Backend: usually connects to a third-party server for replies |
| Install file: .jar in your mods folder | Install file: .mcaddon behavior/resource pack |
Its own CurseForge listing states it has explicit permission from ThatMob, which makes its provenance clearer than the other Java option below. It also ships a NeoForge 1.21.1 branch, but that build is currently flagged as deprecated with known bugs on the mod's own listing — use the Forge 1.20.1 build instead. Its AI responses run on Groq's API (requiring your own free API key), which is why you may see people searching "groq verity" — that's this mod. Full install & API key guide →
View listing on CurseForge →An earlier fan recreation for Java, referenced by several related modpacks as having ThatMob's blessing to use the name — we weren't able to independently confirm a permission statement on its own CurseForge listing the way we could for the mod above, so treat that claim as unconfirmed rather than assume it's false. Some builds request microphone access on the bound key for voice interaction — check the listing for current details.
View listing on CurseForge →Currently the most-downloaded Verity project overall, with a companion entity whose personality shifts the longer it stays in your world. Actively maintained — the latest changelog covers appearance tweaks and a reworked 3D model for its "Anomaly" form.
View listing on CurseForge →A separate Bedrock add-on with a similar companion concept, packaged as its own behavior pack. Connects to an external AI server for its replies, and requires running a one-time connect command after enabling Beta APIs — check its listing for the current command.
View listing on CurseForge →No — treat it with caution. As of this writing, that specific URL triggers Google Safe Browsing's own warning interstitial ("this site may harm your computer"), which is Google's own system flagging it, not a third-party rumor. Whatever it's currently showing — even if it looks like a polished download page — check the URL against a red browser warning before trusting anything on it. The verified, actively-updated Verity mods are the CurseForge listings above; if you'd rather skip the install question entirely, play Verity online instead — no download at all.
If you just want the "talking to Verity" experience without touching your game files, play Verity online — a browser-based version that needs no download, no add-on, and no external server.
The original video's AI is fiction. Real fan-made mods with the Verity name exist for both editions and are actively downloaded — the leading Bedrock add-on alone has passed 4.6 million downloads — but they're all unofficial.
Whichever matches your game edition. They're separate projects by separate creators and aren't interchangeable.
GeckoLib is a separate, general-purpose Forge library that adds advanced animation support to Minecraft — a lot of creature and entity mods depend on it, not just Verity. The Java Edition "Verity." mod won't load without it. Download GeckoLib from its own official CurseForge page (search "GeckoLib" directly — don't take it from a random Verity-branded mirror), match its version to your Minecraft/Forge version, and drop the .jar into your mods folder alongside the Verity mod file.
"Verity JE" by VarmiteYT — one of the two Java Edition mods above — runs its AI responses through Groq's API, a fast inference service, and requires you to supply your own free Groq API key to work. If you searched "groq verity," that mod is what you're looking for; other Verity versions don't use Groq specifically. See our step-by-step API key setup guide →
Usually yes — Forge and GeckoLib for Java, or Beta APIs and cheats for Bedrock. Check the specific listing for exact steps.
Not necessarily — some versions send what you type to an external server to generate replies. If that's a concern, this site's browser chat simulator keeps everything local instead.
No, treat it with caution — that URL currently triggers Google Safe Browsing's own warning interstitial. See our full safety guide before trusting any Verity-related download.
