Verity Minecraft Java: Download and Install the Right Release

To install Verity JE 6.0.0, use a Minecraft Java 1.20.1 Forge instance and the author’s matching file. Install the libraries required by that release, then configure its AI separately; launching the mod alone does not establish working conversation.

Updated

Choose the exact Java branch

Minecraft Verity yellow round face with black oval eyes and a curved smile
Character reference supplied through Veritypedia; a yellow smiley-face design, not a gameplay measurement.

The author’s 6.0.0 file is labelled Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge. The project also lists an older 3.4.1 / Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge release. These are different builds: a 1.21.1 launcher profile is not an upgrade path for the Forge 1.20.1 jar.

Use the version table before downloading. Bedrock .mcaddon packages do not belong in a Java mods folder.

Install in a separate instance

  1. Create a separate launcher instance for 1.20.1, selecting Forge as its loader. A separate directory keeps the test installation apart from an existing modpack and its saves.
  2. In that instance’s mod manager, add Verity JE by VarmiteYT. For manual installation, place the matching .jar in that instance’s mods folder, rather than an unrelated default Minecraft directory.
  3. Check that file’s dependency requirements. The supplied 6.0.0 installation tutorial uses GeckoLib, YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and Cloth Config API alongside Verity. Choose the Forge / 1.20.1 variants; the loader’s missing-dependency message takes precedence over installing a similarly named library for another loader. The Modrinth API currently returns no dependency entries, so it is not a complete library checklist.
  4. Launch the same instance. Check that Verity appears in the installed-mod list and that its configuration screen opens. If launch fails, read the first missing-mod or version mismatch in the loader report before adding anything else.
  5. Use a new test world for the first run. The creator tutorials show a Verity box/companion and a changed presentation after loading; a working AI reply is a separate check below.

The steps organize the creator tutorials into a launcher-independent sequence. They are source-based instructions, not a claim that this site launched Minecraft.

Give the loaded mod a working AI connection

Open Mods → Verity → Config → AI Settings. Choose the provider you intend to use, enter its own key when required, select an available model and save. Then send a short message in normal chat. A new reply addressing that message shows more than the prerecorded introduction does.

The AI setup guide covers cloud and local paths. Once text replies work, follow text, microphone and voice controls. A silent spoken response can be a TTS issue even when the AI itself is replying.

When the game will not start

Check the Minecraft version, loader and library builds as one set. Remove duplicate copies of Verity from the test instance, and keep files from different branches apart. If a loader report names a missing dependency, resolve that specific requirement; an API key cannot repair a loader failure.

If only the AI fails after the game loads, keep the working installation and troubleshoot its provider settings. Reinstalling Minecraft does not renew a provider key or change a model’s availability.
