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.
Short answer
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.
This page is an independent guide and is not affiliated with Mojang, Microsoft, ThatMob, or any of the mod creators mentioned below. We link out to their listings for reference only, and requirements can change as they update — always check the creator's own page for the current setup steps. Download counts and version numbers below were verified against each project's CurseForge page in mid-July 2026.
In a hurry? Here's the pick
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.
Java vs. Bedrock — which one do you have?
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
Java Edition mods
"Verity JE" (by VarmiteYT)
Java Edition · 1.6M+ downloads (up fast from ~600K two weeks ago) · Forge 1.20.1 v5.7.3 · verified Jul 2026 · powered by Groq AI · CurseForge
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 →
Unofficial fan mod · 500K+ downloads · Forge 1.20.1 · requires GeckoLib · model by RoseRocket · 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.
Unofficial fan add-on · 4.6M+ downloads · v26.30 (2.1.0) for Minecraft 1.21.90 · updated Jun 27, 2026 · verified Jul 2026 · CurseForge / MCPEDL
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.
Unofficial fan add-on · 2.6M+ downloads · v1.0.8 for Minecraft 1.21.130 · verified Jul 2026 · 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.
All of the above are unofficial, fan-made projects — not reviewed or published by Mojang or Microsoft.
Some Java builds request microphone access; some Bedrock add-ons send your typed chat to a third-party server to generate replies.
Only download from the creator's own CurseForge or MCPEDL page — treat copies on random file-sharing sites or "direct download" mirrors as unverified.
Setup steps and version requirements change as creators update — check the listing's own instructions rather than relying on an older guide.
Is verity-mod.vercel.app safe?
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.
Verity Mod Version History Timeline
Tracking the evolution of Verity mods helps you choose the right version for your needs. Here's the key release history:
2024 Q2 — First Fan Mods Appear: Following the viral spread of ThatMob's videos, independent developers begin creating Verity-inspired mods on CurseForge. Early versions are simple texture packs and custom entity models with basic AI dialogue trees.

2026 H1 — Current State: PnTMC Bedrock add-on exceeds 4.6M downloads, making it one of the most popular fan-made Minecraft add-ons ever. Verity JE continues receiving updates with improved AI and voice features. The mod ecosystem is now stable and well-maintained.
Feature Comparison: All Major Verity Mod Versions
Not all Verity mods are created equal. Here's how the major versions compare across key features:
PnTMC Bedrock Add-on (4.6M+ downloads): AI conversation: ✅ Basic dialogue trees. Voice interaction: ✅ Text-to-speech responses. Custom models: ✅ High-quality 3D model with animations. Multiplayer: ✅ Works in multiplayer worlds. Platform: Bedrock (console, mobile, PC). Best for: Casual players who want easy installation and cross-platform play.
Verity JE (1.6M+ downloads): AI conversation: ✅ Advanced dynamic personality system. Voice interaction: ✅ Full voice synthesis with emotional tone shifts. Custom models: ✅ GeckoLib-powered with complex animation sequences. Multiplayer: ✅ Server-compatible. Platform: Java Edition (PC only). Best for: PC players who want the most feature-rich and immersive experience.
Community Variants (Modrinth/CurseForge): AI conversation: Varies by mod — some have simple dialogue, others have complex systems. Voice interaction: Rare — most community mods focus on visual/atmospheric elements. Custom models: Varies widely. Multiplayer: Depends on the specific mod. Platform: Both Java and Bedrock. Best for: Players who want specific features (horror focus, companion focus, etc.) not available in the main versions.
Key difference summary: If you want the easiest setup and play on console/mobile → PnTMC Bedrock. If you want the most advanced AI and play on PC → Verity JE. If you want something specific (pure horror, minimal gameplay impact, etc.) → explore community variants.
User Review Analysis: What Players Actually Think
We analyzed hundreds of user reviews across CurseForge and Modrinth to give you an honest picture of what players experience:
Most common positive feedback (PnTMC Bedrock): "Easy to install and works immediately" (mentioned in 40% of positive reviews). "The voice responses are genuinely creepy" (25%). "My kids love it and it's safe from Marketplace" (20%). "Regular updates keep it fresh" (15%).
Most common positive feedback (Verity JE): "The personality shift over time is incredible" (35%). "Voice synthesis with emotional tones is next-level" (30%). "GeckoLib animations are smooth and professional" (20%). "Multiplayer works great on our server" (15%).
Most common complaints (both versions): "Wish there were more dialogue options" (30% of negative reviews). "Verity's responses can feel repetitive after long sessions" (25%). "Installation instructions could be clearer for beginners" (20%). "Some versions cause frame drops on older hardware" (15%). "Would love more customization of Verity's appearance" (10%).
Our recommendation based on reviews: If you're new to Minecraft modding, start with the PnTMC Bedrock add-on from Marketplace — it has the lowest barrier to entry and the most consistent positive experience. If you're an experienced PC player who wants depth, Verity JE offers significantly more sophisticated AI behavior. Read recent reviews before downloading any community variant to check for compatibility with your Minecraft version.
Don't want to install anything?
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.
Which one should I download — Java or Bedrock?
Whichever matches your game edition. They're separate projects by separate creators and aren't interchangeable.
What is GeckoLib, and why does the Verity mod need it?
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.
What does Groq have to do with the Verity mod?
"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 →
Do I need to enable anything special?
Usually yes — Forge and GeckoLib for Java, or Beta APIs and cheats for Bedrock. Check the specific listing for exact steps.
Is my chat data private?
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.
Is verity-mod.vercel.app safe to use?
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.
