Cure a Zombie Villager in Minecraft
If you’re exploring a village in Minecraft, you might encounter a special type of zombie known as a zombie villager. These zombie villagers can spawn naturally or be created if regular villagers are killed by zombies, depending on the game difficulty. While you can kill them, curing a zombie villager is an achievement worth pursuing.
Cured zombie villagers retain their profession and trades, making it beneficial to cure any villagers that turn into zombies. To cure a zombie villager, you will need the following materials:
- A Brewing Stand (crafted using a Blaze Rod and Cobblestone or found in villages and churches)
- A Fermented Spider Eye (crafted using a Spider Eye, Brown Mushroom, and Sugar)
- A Golden Apple (crafted by surrounding an Apple with Gold Ingots or found in various structures)
- Water Bottles (crafted using Glass Bottles and water, obtained from a water source)
- Gunpowder (obtained by trading with a Wandering Trader, looting chests, or killing Creepers, Ghasts, and Witches)
- Blaze Powder (crafted from a Blaze Rod)
Once you have all the materials, you can create a Splash Potion of Weakness. Make sure to have a Golden Apple in your inventory. If no zombie villagers have spawned nearby, you can lure a zombie to a village and there is a chance a villager will turn into a zombie villager when killed.
To cure the zombie villager, throw the Splash Potion of Weakness at it and then right-click with a Golden Apple. The cured villager will trade at a discounted price as a gesture of gratitude.
This method can also be used to create your own villages when there are no existing villages nearby. Just ensure that there is a bed in a nearby structure so the villagers can claim it as their home. Stay alive during the process and enjoy the benefits of having cured zombie villagers in your Minecraft world.
And there you have it, a guide on how to cure a zombie villager in Minecraft. While eliminating zombie villagers is an option, curing them is the path to obtain the Zombie Doctor achievement. Cured zombie villagers will trade at a discounted price as a gesture of gratitude, so it could be worthwhile to cure any of your own villagers that transform into zombies.
That’s everything you need to cure a zombie villager in Minecraft. You can check out all the Minecraft achievements to discover any that catch your interest, or perhaps explore what’s new in Minecraft 2033.
