What is the Verity mod and why is it considered a horror in Minecraft?
There is no escape from Minecraft's Verity mod. Or is there? I've said too much. Hello, internet! Welcome to Game Theory, the show that's mined its way through so much lore that today we're going to do something a little different. You see, Minecraft is an incredible tool. It gives people the chance to be creative, go on adventures, but most importantly, tell stories. I mean, that's basically what we've been doing in the 45 videos we've done on this channel. But if you look on YouTube, there are hundreds of thousands of videos with creators adding their own twists. To Minecraft's world, breathing fresh life into the franchise. And as time's gone on, some of those creators have taken it one step further and turned Minecraft into a horror game.
While at VidCon, I actually had the fortune of meeting one of these creators, that mob. And they and their friends were telling me about the new series that they had started, which I'm sure many of you have heard about. Minecraft Verity. The original video at the time of writing is at 22. Million views and episodes two and three aren't far behind. In total, the series has over 76 million views.
Hey, wait a sec. Are you talking about a YouTube
series? No, Lee, no. Wait, how did you get out of the closet? Ugh, it doesn't matter. This is a YouTube series, but it's about a game. It's filmed in Minecraft. And it's about a Minecraft mod. It's like when we did Lacey games. I don't seem to remember you fighting me much on that one. Well,
no, but
But ah. So I think we can both agree that a precedent has been set, and this one is mine. Now go on, haven't you got some Avatar script to work on? Okay, bye-bye now. Alright, now that he's gone, let's talk about this little yellow fellow. The long and short of it is Verity is a personal assistant that is a little bit needy, let's say. If you do anything wrong, he becomes a monster and chases you down. And the only way to escape, it seems, is to end yourself before. It can. But you know me, loyal theorists, I was never gonna accept that as a solution. I quite like the life I'm living. Surely, that's not the only way out. There's gotta be some kind of way to beat that freaky smiley face. How do you kill Verity?
Well, it's time to build your lava traps and cover up your windows, friends, because we've got three days to prepare for Verity, and the clock is ticking. First, in case you're not one of the 76 million plus people who have seen any of this series, let me give you a quick rundown so we all know exactly what we're up against. The story goes that that mob, or just mob for short, downloads a new Minecraft mod, an in-game personal assistant called Verity.
Hello, I'm Verity, your personal helper friend. Ask me anything. I know everything.
At first, everything seems fine. He answers basic questions, helping Mob to find diamonds and villagers. But then things get weird. First, all the villagers disappear. Then Verity ominously implies that something is coming.
Good morning, Verity. Is there something I need to know today? Something is coming in three days. What? What's coming?
Something.
Something bad? Yes. Can I stop it? You could have.
After three days, a monster shows up that can destroy blocks and will stop at nothing to get mob. Eventually, Mob returns home to calm Verity down, which seems to work. This would be where I'd personally turn off the game and just take a breather. But instead, Mob develops a kind of toxic relationship with Verity. And there's the lava.
Oh!
How does the series explain Verity’s transformation from helper to monster?
No! Verity! Wait, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I tripped! I thought we were having a nice watch. I swear I tripped. You slipped
out my hands, please, Verdi. Okay.
Hey, that's an obsession reference.
Still doesn't make it yours, Lee. Now get out of my video. No, no,
no, no, no, no, don't do that. I thought we were having a nice conversation.
Mob spends the next two episodes tiptoeing around Verity, trying his best to not upset Verity while also trying to figure out what he can do to stop him. After Verity kills Mob's friend Twixol, he goes on the hunt to stop him once and for all, finding the place where Verity originally came from.
