☺️ Something is coming.

Smiley's Collection is a curated Forge pack built around Verity JE — the viral AI companion inspired by ThatMob's Something Minecraft ARG — plus the full Smiley's companion suite so Verity can talk, see, and think the way the videos feel.

This isn't an official ThatMob release. It's a fan pack that aims for the most authentic Verity experience you can get on Java Edition: a helpful yellow smile that remembers you, watches the world with you, and might not stay helpful forever.

✨ What's Inside

😁 The Smiley's suite

Mod	What it does
Smiley's Better Voice	Gives Verity an expressive voice accurate to the one in ThatMob's videos
Smiley's Better Vision	Lets Verity see your Minecraft world through chat cues (`**` trigger)
Smiley's Better Brain	Increases Verity's reasoning and speed through a more advanced AI

🟡 The star of the show

Verity JE — talk, follow, help… and the slow slide into something worse
Extra atmosphere / QoL mods used in the ARG series (textures, world generation, etc.)
Dependencies so everything loads cleanly

🎬 Inspired by ThatMob

If you watched:

Something is Knocking at Your Door...
Something is Inside Your House...
Something Won't Let You Leave...

…this pack is for sitting down in a quiet world, saying hello to Verity, and letting the days tick by.

⚠️ Not official. ThatMob's videos are scripted horror. Smiley's mods are independent fan projects. This pack is unaffiliated with ThatMob, Verity JE's authors, or the original voice work.

🚀 Quick Start

Install the pack with CurseForge / Prism / your launcher of choice (Forge 1.20.1)
Launch the game
Grab free API keys (you only need what you plan to use):
- Brain / Vision: Google AI Studio
- Voice (Fish — recommended): fish.audio/app/api-keys
- Voice (Cartesia — optional): play.cartesia.ai/keys
In-game: Mods → Smiley's Better Brain / Vision / Voice → Config → paste keys and enable
Spawn / find Verity, say hi… and try not to be rude for three days 👋

🧩 Recommended setup (in-game)

Goal	Turn on
Best chat quality	Better Brain + Gemini key
Verity can see	Better Vision + `**` in your message
Best voice	Better Voice → Fish Audio (quality & emotion)
Fastest voice	Better Voice → Cartesia (speed & accuracy)

All settings are automatically saved for convenience.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

🔴 Verity won't talk — Check Verity JE's own AI / TTS toggles, then confirm Brain / Voice are enabled with valid keys.

🟡 Silent Verity / API errors — Read the on-screen Smiley error toasts; most issues are a missing key, rate limit, or offline connection.

📌 Notes

🌐 Cloud AI / TTS needs an internet connection
📊 Usage depends on Google / Fish / Cartesia free tiers and limits
🎧 Headphones recommended — Verity's voice and the quiet between replies are half the scare
🛠️ Unofficial fan pack — play fair, don't harass creators, and don't expect the exact video script in survival
