This pack exists for players, forum answers, editors, and creators who need a citation for "Verity Mod voice not working" or "VERITY.exe does not talk" without linking to mirrored files. It does not host Verity downloads, collect API keys, upload audio, or claim a voice symptom is a malware verdict.

## Current demand evidence

| Signal | Current reading | Action taken |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GSC | Delayed July 15 through July 28 report shows 54 clicks, 1,644 impressions, 3.3% CTR, average position 8.7, and exact `verity mod` at 2 clicks / 3 impressions. | Keep homepage TDK stable; update source-backed support pages instead. |
| GA4 | Last 7 days show 315 active users, 142 Organic Search sessions, 86 Referral sessions, 70 `gist.github.com / referral` sessions, 30 views for the voice page title card, and 60 official-project outbound click events. | Refresh the voice page and public Gist assets rather than forcing keyword density. |
| Player question | A current Reddit thread says Verity chat appears but no voice can be heard. | Separate text response, microphone capture, STT, TTS, resource pack, provider, and output device. |
| Official modpack source | The current VERITY.exe page updated July 30 and lists Forge Port 2.1.3 / file 8539885. | Replace stale 2.1.2 / 8526843 as the current record while keeping old-record recognition for older tutorials. |
| Voice add-on source | Smiley's Better Voice now appears as a dedicated Verity JE voice add-on route with Fish Audio, Cartesia, and voice mimicking demand. The current 4.0.0 file changelog says it supports Verity JE 6.0.0 and is incompatible with earlier Verity JE versions. The official files/all page exposes older 3.x and 2.x rows for users intentionally staying on older parent routes. | Add a focused add-on route and machine-readable JSON instead of treating every silent voice issue as a generic reinstall problem. |

## Current source signals

| Route | Source | Current record | Voice interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| VERITY.exe CurseForge modpack | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/verity-exe | Project ID 1585389, 131,185 project downloads, Forge Port 2.1.3, file 8539885, 90 file downloads at check. | Modpack profile. Its page says voice chat/direct chat/TTS are relevant and Groq issues are provider-side. |
| VERITY.exe current file | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/verity-exe/files/8539885 | VERITY.exe.zip, Forge, Minecraft 1.20.1, uploaded July 30, 2026. | Use this for current modpack route checks, not as a standalone Java JAR. |
| Verity JE standalone Java | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/verity-je | Project ID 1591438, current visible CurseForge file verity-6.1.jar / 8555265. | Keep standalone Java voice issues separate from VERITY.exe profile issues. |
| Smiley's Better Voice Java add-on | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/smileys-better-voice/files/8536538 | Project ID 1608717, main file Smiley's Better Voice-4.0.0.jar / 8536538, 101,848 project downloads and 3.3K file-list downloads at check. The exact file page rendered 101,479 project downloads and 3.0K file downloads during the same check. The file changelog says 4.0.0 supports Verity JE 6.0.0 and is incompatible with earlier Verity JE versions. | Use after the parent Verity JE route works; separate parent/add-on compatibility, Fish Audio, Cartesia, Better Voice toggle, Verity JE TTS toggle, and provider-key layers. |
| Verity BE Bedrock | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft-bedrock/addons/verity-be/files/8583159 | Verity (Stable) (2.0.1)-(26.40).mcaddon / 8583159, July 31 hot fix. | Verify the current Bedrock MCADDON route before diagnosing local TTS, resource-pack audio, or voice behavior; old same-day record 8543534 is only old-link context and this is not live Java microphone input. |
| Smiley OpenAL Android Java bridge | https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-addons/smiley-openal | Project ID 1615985, main file smiley-openal-1.2.1.jar, 314 downloads at check. | Independent add-on route for Android Java launchers; it does not contain Verity code. |
| Groq speech-to-text | https://console.groq.com/docs/speech-to-text | Audio transcription and translation endpoints plus Whisper models. | Use for STT/microphone layer separation, not file identity. |
| Groq Orpheus TTS | https://console.groq.com/docs/text-to-speech/orpheus | audio/speech endpoint, Orpheus model IDs, voice choices, 200-character input limit. | Use for TTS/output layer separation, not download identity. |
| Simple Voice Chat troubleshooting | https://modrepo.de/minecraft/voicechat/wiki/troubleshooting | UDP/server/microphone/speaker troubleshooting. | A working voice chat layer does not prove Verity received speech as a prompt. |

## Diagnosis map

| Symptom | Likely layer | First action | Avoid |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Messages appear but no voice plays | TTS, output device, Minecraft audio, resource pack, or voice dependency | Keep the file installed, test typed text, then test Minecraft/device output and route-specific TTS. | Do not reinstall from mirrors when typed chat already works. |
| Simple Voice Chat works but Verity does not react | Verity talk control, STT route, provider response, or server-side dependency | Prove typed Verity chat first, then test one short English voice phrase and server/client dependency parity. | Do not treat generic voice-chat success as proof that Verity received speech. |
| VERITY.exe says API key problem or does not talk | Modpack profile, Groq key, TTS tokens, provider quota, or voice-chat profile setup | Open Project ID 1585389 and file 8539885, prove direct chat/text first, then debug Groq and voice chat. | Do not use unrelated EXE installers or replacement ZIPs as a voice fix. |
| Better Voice 4.0.0 is installed with Verity JE 5.x or earlier | Parent mod and add-on version mismatch | Match Better Voice 4.0.0 with Verity JE 6.0.0, or intentionally use an official older Better Voice file for the older parent route after opening its exact file page. | Do not diagnose this first as a microphone, Fish Audio, Cartesia, or Groq-key problem. |
| Smiley's Better Voice is installed but Verity is silent | Better Voice toggle, Verity JE TTS toggle, Fish Audio or Cartesia key, voice ID, internet, or provider credits | Confirm Verity JE text replies first, then open the Better Voice config and test the selected provider tab. | Do not paste Fish, Cartesia, Groq, or Ollama keys into public comments. |
| Verity BE dialogue appears but audio is silent | Local TTS command, resource pack activation, device audio, or Bedrock world state | Run /verity:tts on, activate packs together, and test a clean Bedrock world. | Do not switch to a Java JAR for a Bedrock TTS issue. |
| Android Java launcher reports no compatible microphone | Android Java audio runtime or OpenAL bridge | Keep Verity JE installed, grant launcher microphone permission, and inspect Smiley OpenAL separately. | Do not confuse Android Java launchers with MCPE Bedrock imports. |

## Safe support summary fields

Ask for these fields before diagnosing a voice issue: edition and project route, file name and record ID, whether typed chat works, whether microphone capture works outside Verity, whether TTS or sound output works elsewhere, provider and status code if shown, and one sanitized log line with no API key and no private audio.
