Minecraft:Zombie Villager (old)

The old zombie villager is a removed or unobtainable variant of the Minecraft:zombie that behaves similar to modern Minecraft:zombie villagers, but can be cured into Minecraft:old villagers.

Spawning

Template:Expand section When a group in the normal spawn cycle spawns zombies, there is a 5% chance to instead spawn a group of zombie villagersTemplate:Only, or a single zombie villagerTemplate:Only. (This increases to a 20% chance in Minecraft:old growth taiga biomes)Template:Only

If any type of Minecraft:zombie kills a Minecraft:villager, there is a chance for the villager to transform into a zombie villager.

Difficulty	Chance
Easy	0%
Normal	50%
Hard	100%

Template:IN a zombified zombie villager does not despawn if the player has traded with it at least once prior to its death, 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. Template:IN all zombified villagers are persistent.

A zombie villager appears alongside a cleric villager in every Minecraft:igloo basement (a normal zombie villager in Minecraft:Pocket Edition and a cleric zombie villager in Minecraft:Java Edition). One of them transforms into a leatherworker, due to the workstation (a cauldron). They also spawn in Minecraft:zombie villages. Zombie villagers generated in both of these structures do not despawn naturally.

Drops

On death

Template:DropTable 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:

• Template:BlockLink <ref name=":0" group="note">Zombie villagers spawn with Minecraft:pumpkins and Minecraft:jack o'lanternsTemplate:Only only during Halloween.</ref>
• Template:BlockLinkTemplate:Only<ref name=":0" group="note" />
• Template:ItemLink
• Template:ItemLink
• Template:ItemLink
• 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 Minecraft:Looting increases the chance by 1 percentage point (11.5% with Looting III).

Experience

Adult zombie villagers drop Template:Xp and an additional Template:Xp per naturally-spawned equipment. Baby zombie villagers drop Template:Xp experience.
