Zombie Villager

A zombie villager is a variant of the zombie that can be cured into a normal villager using a golden apple while it is under the effect of Weakness.

Spawning

In Java Edition, when zombies spawn during the normal cycle, there is a 5% chance that one of them will be replaced with a zombie villager. This chance increases to 20% in old growth pine taiga biomes.

In Bedrock Edition, when zombies spawn during the normal cycle, there is a 5% chance that 2–4 of them will be replaced with zombie villagers.

Zombifying

Additionally, if any type of zombie kills a villager, that villager has a chance of turning into a zombie villager depending on the game difficulty.

Difficulty	Chance
Easy	0%
Normal	50%
Hard	100%

In Java Edition, a zombified zombie villager does not despawn if the player has traded with it at least once prior to its zombification, but unlike all other persistent mobs it still counts toward the hostile mob cap. If the zombie villager picks up any item however, it remains persistent but is excluded from the mob cap. In Bedrock Edition all zombified villagers are persistent.

Abandoned villages

Zombie villagers may also spawn as part of abandoned villages during world generation, the number of which depends on the buildings in that village, as some buildings generate zombie villagers inside and some do not. Like villagers, the zombie villagers’ biome outfits are based on the type of village. These zombie villagers are persistent and do not despawn.

Igloo basements

A zombie villager appears alongside a cleric villager in every igloo basement (a normal zombie villager in Bedrock Edition and a cleric zombie villager in Java Edition), both locked in small cages behind iron bars. One of them transforms into a leatherworker, due to the workstation (a cauldron). The zombie villager is persistent and does not despawn.

Reinforcements

On Hard difficulty, all zombie villagers have a 0-10% chance to spawn other zombie villagers as reinforcements when receiving damage while targeting an entity.

Variants

Baby zombies

Baby zombie villagers make up 5% of zombie villager spawns. They have big heads, unlike normal baby villagers in Java Edition. They behave similarly to regular zombie villagers, with the following differences:

• They are 30% faster than normal zombies, yet they have the same health as normal zombies. This makes baby zombie villagers more dangerous than their bigger counterparts.
• The noises they make are higher-pitched than adult zombie villager sound effects.
• In Java Edition, baby zombie villagers have a chance to spawn as a chicken jockey.
• In Bedrock Edition, 15% of naturally spawned baby zombie villagers can start riding a mob and become a jockey when it tries attacking a villager, player, or golem. They can ride:

• Baby zombie villagers turn into baby villagers, if cured. In Java Edition, their heads turn back to small baby villager heads.^[1]
• Worn armor shrinks to fit their body size.
• They are able to fit through 1×1 block gaps.
• They drop 12 experience when killed by the player instead of 5.
• Unlike other baby mobs but like undead baby mobs, they stay as babies indefinitely and never grow into "adult" zombie villagers.
• They have a decreased hitbox size.

Baby zombie villagers are spawned when a zombie kills a baby villager, the chance of infection being the same as adult zombie villagers. Baby zombie villagers also spawn naturally, but the combined chance (5% villagers × 5% babies) is low at 0.25% (or 1 in 400 chance) of all newly spawned zombies.

Armed zombie villagers

Along with skeletons and regular zombies, some zombie villagers are capable of picking up dropped items. These zombie villagers automatically pick up and hold any item that they come across (except jack o'lanterns‌^{[Java Edition only]}, mob heads and pumpkins, as these are worn on their heads), and use any armor, weapons, or tools picked up. If they encounter another similar item, they pick it up and drop their previous item:

• if the new item is armor or a sword and the old item was not (for example, zombie villagers prefer swords to pickaxes and helmets to pumpkins),
• if both items are armor/swords and the new item is better damage-wise (reduces more damage for armor, or inflicts more damage for swords),
• if both items are armor/swords with the same damage reduction/infliction, the new item has NBT tags while the old does not or the new item is more damaged than the old item, or
• if both items are bows and the new item has NBT tags while the old does not.

Items dropped by mobs in exchange for another cannot be picked up by players or mobs for 10 game ticks (0.5 seconds, barring lag), but can be picked up by hoppers.

Armor worn by zombie villagers is not damaged from most damage sources, which means it cannot "wear out" the way player armor does. Helmets (not blocks like pumpkins) on zombie villagers can wear away and break if the zombie villager is exposed to daylight, or has an anvil or other falling block dropped on its head. Zombie villagers also have a natural armor rating of 2 (), which gives 1.6 - 8% damage reduction from most sources.

Some zombie villagers that are capable of picking up items spawn already in possession of such items, and those items may also be enchanted. The chances of that event are listed below. If a zombie villager spawns wearing multiple pieces of armor, the armor is never mismatched (i.e. all pieces are made of the same material).

Chances of zombie villagers wearing or picking up armor, per difficulty

	Easy	Normal	Hard
Can pick up loot	0%	0%-55%[note 1]	6.875%-55%[note 1]
Armor	0%	0%-15%[note 1]	1.875%-15%[note 1]
Armor enchantment[note 2]	0%	0-50%[note 1]	6.25%-50%[note 1]
Weapon[note 3]	1%	1%	5%
Weapon enchantment[note 2]	0%	0%-25%[note 1]	3.125%-25%[note 1]

If a zombie does spawn with armor, the chances of specific armor are as follows:

Chances of different armor pieces, per difficulty

Armor	Easy & Normal	Hard
Helmet	100%	100%
Helmet & chestplate	75%	90%
Helmet & chestplate & leggings	56.25%	81%
Full set	42.19%	72.9%

The chances of particular materials are:

Chances of different armor types

Armor type	Chance
Leather	23.60%
Copper	32.23%
Gold	33.29%
Chain	9.73%
Iron	1.10%
Diamond	0.04%

Any zombie villager that spawns with equipment‌^{[Java Edition only]} (picked-up items don't count) drops 1–3 extra experience per item.

Villager variants

A zombie villager retains its biome outfit and profession after zombification from a villager. They also retain their trades. Zombie villagers with a profession cannot work at a job site block.

Below is a table listing the various biome outfits and professions, along with the specific job site block that each profession requires:

Profession	Job Site Block	Biome
		Desert	Jungle	Plains	Savanna	Snowy	Swamp	Taiga
Unemployed	N/A
Armorer	Blast furnace
Butcher	Smoker
Cartographer	Cartography table
Cleric	Brewing stand
Farmer	Composter
Fisherman	Barrel
Fletcher	Fletching table
Leatherworker	Cauldron
Librarian	Lectern
Mason	Stonecutter
Nitwit	N/A
Shepherd	Loom
Toolsmith	Smithing table
Weaponsmith	Grindstone

Variant spawning

A zombie villager has variants depending on what biome it had spawned in, a Plains variant spawning in Sunflower Plains is an example.

Drops

On death

Java Edition:

Bedrock Edition:

Any picked-up equipment has a 100% chance of dropping on death or when cured and drops with the same damage level it had when picked up.

Naturally-spawned equipment

Zombie villagers do not spawn with equipment in Bedrock Edition. In Java Edition, a zombie villager can spawn with any of the following:

• Carved Pumpkin ^{[note 1]}
• Jack o'Lantern‌^{[Java Edition only][note 1]}
• Iron Shovel
• Iron Sword
• Diamond Sword (in ominous trials)
• Random Armor
• Zombie villagers have an 8.5% chance of dropping their naturally-spawned equipment (other than Halloween pumpkins), and drop it with a random durability. Each level of Looting increases the chance by 1 percentage point (11.5% with Looting III). They cannot drop the diamond swords that they occasionally wield during ominous trials.

Experience

Adult zombie villagers drop 5XP and an additional 1–3XP per naturally-spawned equipment. Baby zombie villagers drop 12XP experience.

Behavior

Zombie villagers behave as ordinary zombies, except that they do not convert to drowned when submerged.

Zombie villagers that were converted from villagers retain their professions and clothes, which gain a tattered appearance. Naturally spawned zombie villagers (or ones spawned with spawn eggs) have a random profession, and can also spawn with unemployed or nitwit outfits. In Bedrock Edition, baby zombie villagers are always unemployed.

Being an undead mob, they are:

• damaged by the status effect Instant Health and healed by the status effect Instant Damage.
• unaffected by the status effects Regeneration and Poison.
• ignored by the wither.
• affected by the Smite enchantment.
• a threat to armadillos, causing them to hide in their shell.

Curing

Zombie villagers can be cured (converted to normal villagers) by first giving them the Weakness effect, which can be applied by:

• A splash potion of Weakness thrown by the player, a dispenser, or a witch.
• A lingering potion of Weakness thrown by the player or a dispenser.
• An arrow of Weakness.
• An area effect cloud caused by an explosion of a creeper inflicted with a Weakness effect.‌^{[Java Edition only]}.
• The /effect command, if cheats are enabled.

The weakened zombie villager must then be healed by using a (non-enchanted^[2]) golden apple on it. The zombie villager begins to shudder to signal that curing is in progress. Also, the Weakness effect is removed, replaced by Strength for the duration of the curing process. An internal countdown timer is then started, counting down the total time to cure.

Time to cure is initially a random integer between 3600 and 6000 ticks (180 to 300 seconds, 3-5 minutes). On each tick, there is a 1% chance for the game to look for cure accelerants. It checks each block within a 9×9×9 cube centered on the villager for either iron bars or a bed (either half of a bed, detected separately; copper bars are ignored). For each one found up to 14, there is a 30% chance of decreasing the countdown timer by 1 more tick. Therefore, having at least 14 half-beds and/or iron bars within range speeds up conversion by an average of 4.2%.^[3]

During the curing process, the zombie villager behaves like a normal zombie except that it gains Strength (with a potency that doesn't depend on the difficulty level). Thus, a zombie villager is more dangerous during curing than at other times.

At the end of the curing process, the zombie villager transforms into a villager and gains the Nausea effect for 10 seconds (which has no effect on the villager's behavior). If it was holding any item it picked up, that item is dropped (unless it was enchanted with Curse of Binding, in which case it remains in the villager's inventory but is not worn and does not drop if the villager is killed). If it was a baby before it was transformed into a zombie villager, it remains a baby after the cure. If it had traded with a player at least once, it recovers its former profession and inventory of trades. Otherwise, it recovers its profession but might immediately change it if it finds and claims a workstation block for a different profession.

A newly-cured villager, if it had a profession prior to being zombified, offers a trading discount to the player who administered the cure. These discounts are permanent. If a villager is cured more than once, no additional discounts are applied. Villagers near the cured villager are also affected but offer fewer, smaller discounts.

Zombie villagers that are in the process of converting do not despawn if the player moves far away from them, but like all monsters, they despawn if the difficulty is changed to Peaceful.

Specific to Java Edition

• If a zombie villager spawned as a nitwit or was a nitwit before it was transformed into a zombie villager, it remains a nitwit if cured.
• If cured, naturally spawned zombie villagers keep their profession for one tick then become unemployed.
• Curing a villager spreads minor_positive gossip through the villager gossip system.
• There is a bug whereby if you cure a zombie villager chicken jockey, the baby villager will still ride the chicken. The rider will grow to a normal villager after 20 minutes and, if struck by lightning, can be turned into a witch jockey.

Specific to Bedrock Edition

• A former nitwit zombie villager becomes an unemployed villager and can learn a profession after the cure.
• Villagers in a range of 16 blocks in a cube surrounding the cured villager also offer a small discount proportional to the number of cured villagers (up to 10).
• Saving and reloading the world causes the curing process to finish as soon as the chunk containing the villager is ticked. This does not happen if the player moves out of range, then returns: In that case, the countdown timer pauses until the player returns.
• If a chicken jockey with a baby zombie villager rider is cured, the rider will dismount when cured.
• After the curing process, naturally spawned zombie villagers can gain a different profession from the one they had while zombified.

Trivia

• When a zombie villager wears a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern, its head is so tall that it pokes out the top of the pumpkin.
• In Java Edition, zombie villagers have a glitched design when using the programmer art resource pack.^[10]
• In Bedrock Edition, when a zombie villager holds a trident, the hand that holds the trident lowers.
• In Bedrock Edition, if a zombie villager is summoned using the /summon command with an invalid spawn event, a generic zombie villager that moves extremely fast spawns.
• In Bedrock Edition, the icon for the achievement Zombie Doctor uses the old zombie villager texture.
• Curing a zombie villager chicken jockey is the only way to get a villager riding a chicken without the use of commands.^[11]
• Green-colored zombies are also present in Minicraft, a 2D Minecraft-inspired game also created by Markus Persson.
• In Java Edition, the rarest mob is a baby zombie villager riding a chicken, with 3 pieces of enchanted diamond armor, an enchanted iron sword and a jack o' lantern on its head. It has approximately a 1 in 948 trillion (948,148,148,148,148) chance to spawn and can be found only during Halloween, as this is when mobs can spawn wearing jack o' lanterns.
