Do real Verity mods exist for Java Edition?
Yes — but with important context. The original Verity character from ThatMob's scripted horror videos doesn't exist as an official mod. However, independent fan creators have built real, installable Java Edition mods using the Verity name, hosted on CurseForge. These are unofficial fan projects, not endorsed by Mojang or the original video creator.
The leading Java Edition mods
At the time of writing, two fan-made Java Edition mods named "Verity" are the ones people usually find:
Adds a companion entity that starts friendly and answers questions, then gradually shifts personality the longer it stays in your world. Requires Minecraft Forge and GeckoLib to run. Check the listing for the current Minecraft version compatibility.
View listing on CurseForge →Described on its own listing as an officially-licensed adaptation, created and published with explicit permission from ThatMob — a distinct project from PKFL's version above. Its AI responses run on Groq's API, which is why you may see people searching "groq verity" — that's this mod.

Unlike Bedrock add-ons (which use behavior packs), Java Edition mods typically require:
- Minecraft Forge — the most common mod loader for Java Edition. Some mods may support Fabric instead.
- GeckoLib — a library mod used for custom entity animations. Required by PKFL's version.
- Correct Minecraft version — mods are built for specific versions (e.g., 1.20.1, 1.21). Check the listing.
- Java runtime — Minecraft Java Edition requires a compatible Java installation.
✅ Before installing any Java mod
- Verify the mod supports your Minecraft version (check the listing's "Game Versions" section)
- Install the required mod loader (Forge or Fabric) — don't skip this step
- Install any required library mods (GeckoLib, etc.) — the listing will specify these
- Back up your world before installing — mods can sometimes cause issues
- Read the installation instructions on the creator's page — don't rely on third-party tutorials
Is the Groq-powered version safe?
VarmiteYT's "Verity JE" uses Groq's API for AI-generated responses. This means the mod sends your chat input to an external server to generate replies. If privacy is a concern, consider PKFL's version instead (which uses pre-scripted responses), or try our browser-based chat simulator which keeps everything local.
Java vs Bedrock — which should I choose?
This depends on which Minecraft edition you own:
- Java Edition — PC/Mac/Linux only. More modding support, larger mod ecosystem.
- Bedrock Edition — Windows 10/11, consoles, mobile. Uses add-ons instead of mods.
The two editions are not interchangeable — a Java mod won't work on Bedrock, and vice versa. If you're unsure which edition you have, check your Minecraft launcher or app store listing.
