Smiley's Better Brain

by Toast5

Smiley's Better Brain extends the AI companion Verity JE with persistent memory, a stronger physical identity and new in-game abilities for Forge and NeoForge.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Verity JE is required, and the mod expands what that companion remembers and can do. It adds short-term and long-term memory that persists between sessions, expanded world knowledge, and abilities such as acting on the weather and time, teleporting, riding, summoning and striking with lightning. Verity's default personality is cheerful and energetic, but it can grow colder if players mistreat him, and the mod clarifies his behavioral rules.

The text AI defaults to Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, which the author recommends for fast replies, strong instruction following and image understanding. An experimental configuration tab lets players switch to Groq's llama-3.3-70b-versatile, which matches Verity JE's own default Groq model. Gemini's thinking level can be set to Fast, Balanced or Smart. Either provider keeps the memory tools, personality rules and text-to-speech integration. A screenshot falls back to Gemini automatically when Groq is selected.

Admin abilities run immediately by default, without a stream of confirmation dialogs. A server can turn off specific ability categories, require operator level 2, and cap ranges or counts through brain-server.toml. Valuable or dangerous blocks that cannot be obtained in survival stay restricted, and players, bosses other than the protected ones, and similar targets are guarded by default. The mod is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Persistent memory

    Verity keeps short-term and long-term memory, so conversations carry over beyond the recent-chat window that Verity JE normally keeps.

  2. Physical in-game abilities

    Verity can act on the weather and time, teleport, ride, summon mobs and call lightning, with categories that server owners can turn off.

  3. Recommended text AI

    Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite is the default provider, with an experimental Groq option using llama-3.3-70b-versatile.

  4. Adjustable thinking level

    Gemini's thinking level is set to Fast, Balanced or Smart, trading reply speed against depth.

  5. Guarded players and bosses

    Players and bosses are guarded by default, and valuable or dangerous survival-unobtainable blocks stay restricted.

Yes. Verity JE is a required dependency, and the mod builds on its companion, so it must be installed alongside it.

Do server owners need to install it?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Server owners can limit abilities in brain-server.toml.

Which AI provider does Smiley's Better Brain use?

Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite is the default. Groq with llama-3.3-70b-versatile can be selected in an experimental config tab.

What the author says

Smiley's Better Brain 3.0.0 is an unofficial add-on for Verity JE 5.7.3 that upgrades Verity's conversations, memory, personality, world awareness, and in-game abilities. Use Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite by default, or try the experimental Groq / Llama 3.3 70B provider used by Verity JE. Either provider keeps Better Brain's…
