Current main file
These details were checked against the CurseForge project and file history. Re-check the source before installing because releases can change.
CurseForge marked 5.7.4 as the main file and listed 6.0.0-beta.7 as a newer beta entry for the same game version and loader. The page showed 3,778,888 downloads and Project ID 1591438 when checked.
The newest Minecraft game version is not automatically the recommended Verity JE route.

Check 1.20.1 filesPublished August 19, 2026. It is newer, but its beta label means it should not be presented as the stable default.
Compare all 1.20.1 filesSetup path
The project-controlled pages are changing quickly. Treat the release page, not an old video or mirror, as the final setup reference.
Separate a loader problem from an AI setup problem before changing files or adding more software.
The current main file and newer beta are Forge JARs for Minecraft 1.20.1. Do not mix them with the deprecated 1.21.1 NeoForge branch, Fabric, or a Bedrock add-on.
Keep the downloaded Verity JAR unextracted, confirm the launcher opened the same Forge profile you edited, and remove duplicate or older Verity files before testing again.
The project website documents local Ollama, while CurseForge and Modrinth still mention Groq. Follow the current tutorial linked by the exact release instead of combining both setups.
Project pages disagree on language coverage, and CurseForge says speech was tested only in English. Confirm text chat first, then check the release notes for voice and language support.
If a clean matching profile still fails, keep the crash log private, remove any API keys or personal paths, and use the support link published by the project team.
What it adds
The project describes a personal AI assistant, an animated box interface, the Verity Demon and darker gameplay systems inspired by ThatMob's series.
The CurseForge description says the assistant is powered by Groq. The linked project website now describes a fully local Ollama route instead. That mismatch is why this guide does not present one old setup tutorial as universal.
Authorization claim
The Verity JE page calls the project an official adaptation made with explicit ThatMob permission, and ThatMob's CurseForge profile currently lists it.
This supports a creator relationship. It does not make the mod a Mojang or Microsoft release, and it does not authorize third-party mirrors using the same name or art.
Language support
The linked project website lists English, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Japanese for chat and voice.
CurseForge and Modrinth say the AI supports all languages, but speech-to-text and text-to-speech were tested only in English. These claims may describe different releases or setups, so verify the exact version before relying on voice support.
On August 24, 2026, CurseForge marked verity-5.7.4.jar as the main Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge file and listed verity-6.0.0-beta.7.jar as a newer beta entry. Check the files page before choosing.
Fabric is not listed for the current main file. Do not install the Forge JAR in a Fabric profile unless the project publishes a compatible file.
First confirm that the file you selected is in the Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge profile named by the project. If the game starts but the AI does not answer, follow the setup route for the exact release because the project website documents Ollama while CurseForge and Modrinth still mention Groq.
A NeoForge 3.4.1 branch exists for 1.21.1, but the project marks it deprecated and warns that it contains bugs. Read the current file notes before choosing it.
The linked project website says its current local Ollama setup needs no API keys, accounts or cloud service. CurseForge and Modrinth still mention Groq and setup tutorials. Follow the instructions for your exact release because those pages are not synchronized.
The project website lists seven chat and voice languages. CurseForge and Modrinth say AI can support all languages but speech-to-text and text-to-speech were tested only in English. Check the release instructions for the language and voice path you plan to use.
No guide can certify every future binary. Use the exact CurseForge or Modrinth project, match the file to your loader and game version, avoid mirrors, and test it in a separate backed-up profile. Use the Verity JE safety check before choosing between the main file and a newer beta.
