Steps To Cure A Zombie Villager

1. Use The Splash Potion Of Weakness

First we need to find our zombie villager and catch him. In this example, we’ll build a cage around the zombie villager. Then we have to throw our weakness potion at the zombie villager.

You can cast your potion using the following in-game controls:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right Click on the Zombie Villager
  • Pocket Edition (PE) – Play the Zombie Villager
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT Button
  • PS3, PS4: Press L2 Button
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button

You will notice gray particles around the zombie villager after you throw the splash potion at him.

2. Use The Golden Apple

Now that our zombie villager is weakened by the splatter potion, we need to feed him a golden apple.

You can give him the golden apple with the following game controllers:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right Click on the Zombie Villager
  • Pocket Edition (PE) – Play the Zombie Villager
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT Button
  • PS3, PS4: Press L2 Button
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button

You will notice that the gray floating particles will turn red and the zombie will start to vibrate. This means that your zombie villager is in the process of becoming a normal villager. Keep in mind that this process can take a few minutes.

3. Place Down A Work Table

Once our zombie villager is healed and is a normal villager, we can give them a profession by placing a block on the workplace. In this example, we set up a blacksmith table and the villager becomes a blacksmith.

That is! You healed a zombie villager!
