How to Cure a Zombie Villager in Minecraft
In Minecraft, curing a zombie villager is a beneficial and exciting process that allows you to transform hostile zombie villagers into helpful, regular villagers. This guide will explain the exact steps needed to cure a zombie villager effectively.
Steps to Cure a Zombie Villager
- Trap the Zombie Villager: First, ensure the zombie villager cannot escape by using materials like blocks, fences, or a boat. This prevents them from wandering or being exposed to sunlight, which can kill them during the day.
- Create a Splash Potion of Weakness: Brew a splash potion of weakness. To brew this potion:
- Obtain a fermented spider eye (combine sugar, a brown mushroom, and a normal spider eye).
- Use a brewing stand and place the fermented spider eye in it with a bottle of water and blaze powder as a fuel source.
- Finally, add gunpowder to make the potion throwable as a "splash potion."
- Throw the Splash Potion: Use the splash potion of weakness by aiming at and throwing it on the zombie villager. You'll notice a swirl of particles around them once it works.
- Feed Them a Golden Apple: Once the potion of weakness takes effect, right-click the zombie villager while holding a golden apple (crafted using eight gold ingots and one apple). A red particle effect will appear, signaling the curing process has begun.
- Wait for the Cure: The curing process takes around 2–5 minutes in real-time. During this time, keep the zombie villager safe from hostile mobs or sunlight.
Once the process is complete, the zombie villager will transform into a regular villager! Successfully curing zombie villagers can help expand your village, unlock specific trades, and earn discounts from the cured villager when trading.
Additional Tips:
- Zombie villagers are more common in hard difficulty modes.
- Look for zombie villagers in villages or during random night encounters.
- Build shelters to keep them safe during curing.
By following these steps, you can master the art of transforming a zombie villager into a productive member of your Minecraft community. Happy gaming!
