Verity Smiles

Quickstart

1. Spawn into your world — Verity will greet you and appear nearby within a few seconds automatically.
2. Craft Pocket Verity () so you can summon Verity yourself whenever you want a companion.
3. Right-click (or interact with) Verity to open her menu, ask her questions, and manage batteries.
4. Craft a Flashlight () to light your way, and keep it charged with Batteries from Verity.
5. Craft a Signal Launcher () to push back threats standing near you.
6. Place a Falsity block anywhere you'd like some deep blue decoration.

Overview

Verity Smiles introduces Verity, a friendly talking NPC companion who follows you around, chats through simple dialogue, and helps keep your gear powered. Alongside Verity, the mod adds a handful of useful items and a decorative block, all built around interacting with your new helper.

What It Adds

How To Use

Meeting Verity: When you spawn into a world, Verity appears near you on her own shortly after. If she ever wanders off or you want her back, use Pocket Verity — using the item will summon her at your location if she isn't already nearby.

Talking to Verity: Hit/interact with Verity to open her menu. From here you can:

• Ask a question – type a question and Verity will respond. She recognizes several specific phrases (like asking about "notch" or "thatmob") with unique answers, and gives a generic encouraging reply to anything else.
• Follow me – keep Verity moving along with you.
• Pick up Verity – gather her up to carry her along.
• Batteries – request a fresh supply of batteries for your Flashlight (up to 10 at a time).
• Heroverity color – a special extra menu option that appears only for players who carry the "Heroverity" tag.

Verity automatically keeps herself within a short distance of you as you explore, teleporting back to your side if she strays too far.

Using the Flashlight: Use the item to turn it on; each use consumes some charge. When it runs low, ask Verity for batteries during a conversation to replenish it.

Using the Signal Launcher: Use the item while enemies are nearby to strike back at hostile mobs around you. It has a short cooldown between uses.

Falsity Block: A simple placeable decorative block, crafted from lapis lazuli, blue dye, and clay.

Crafting And Obtaining

• Verity Flashlight:
• Signal Launcher:
• Falsity:
• Pocket Verity and Verity Battery are obtained through Verity herself — talk to her and choose the Batteries option to receive Verity Batteries, and keep Pocket Verity on hand to call her whenever needed. The Verity Spawn Egg can be used to place a Verity directly if you have access to it.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Following: Verity trails behind you as you move, keeping within a modest range and catching up if she falls too far behind.
• Attachment: Verity keeps track of how long she's been with you, growing more "attached" the longer you spend time together.
• Conversation: Verity's dialogue system responds to typed questions with a mix of specific, personality-driven answers and generic replies, making every chat feel a little different.
• Battery Management: Your Flashlight's charge is tracked per player and depletes with use, requiring you to periodically ask Verity to restock your batteries.
• Non-hostile: Verity cannot be harmed through normal damage and won't fight back if attacked, since interacting with her (even by hitting her) simply opens her conversation menu.

Progression And Strategy

Keep Verity nearby early on for a steady source of batteries, powering your Flashlight for safer nighttime and cave exploration. Craft a Signal Launcher for extra protection when venturing into dangerous areas, and carry Pocket Verity as a backup so you're never without your companion, even if she's left behind or lost track of you. Chat with Verity regularly — her responses and growing attachment add a personal touch to your playthrough beyond simple utility.
