The fast version: which files you need and the order to install them in, for both Java Edition and Bedrock. For the full walkthrough with screenshots-level detail and troubleshooting, follow the links to our dedicated Forge and Bedrock guides below each section.
Installation depends on which Minecraft edition you play:
Not sure which edition you have? Java Edition has a "Java Edition" label on the main menu. Bedrock Edition just says "Minecraft" and supports cross-play with consoles and mobile.
.jar from an official CurseForge or Modrinth listing — see our Java Edition guide for which one to pick.minecraft/mods folder.mcaddon file from CurseForge or MCPEDLOnly download from official sources like CurseForge, Modrinth, or MCPEDL. Avoid random file-sharing sites, Discord/Telegram links, survey-gated downloads, or anything named "Verity mod.exe." For the full rundown, see our safety guide.
This page only covers the standard install steps. For crashes, add-ons that won't import, chat not responding, or any other error, see our dedicated "Verity mod not working" troubleshooting guide — it covers both editions in depth.

Install Forge mod loader for your Minecraft version, install GeckoLib (required dependency), download the Verity mod .jar file from CurseForge or Modrinth, place it in your mods folder, and launch Minecraft with the Forge profile.
Download the .mcaddon file from CurseForge or MCPEDL, tap the file to open it in Minecraft, create or edit a world and enable Beta APIs under Experimental Gameplay. The add-on should now be active.
Forge is a mod loader for Minecraft Java Edition that allows mods to run. Most Verity mods for Java require Forge because they use custom code that needs Forge's mod loading system.
GeckoLib is an animation library for Minecraft mods. Verity mods use GeckoLib for complex character animations. You must install GeckoLib before installing the Verity mod, or the mod won't work.
Create or edit a world, go to Settings > Experiments, and toggle on "Beta APIs". This allows behavior packs to use advanced scripting features required by Verity add-ons.
Common issues include wrong Minecraft version, missing dependencies (Forge/GeckoLib for Java), or Beta APIs not enabled (Bedrock). Check our troubleshooting guide for detailed fixes.
