π§ Step-by-Step Guide
1. Find a Zombie Villager
Zombie villagers have a 5% chance to spawn instead of regular zombies. They can also appear when a zombie attacks a villager. Look for them at night or in dark areas.
2. Secure the Zombie Villager
Lure the zombie villager into a safe enclosure to prevent it from burning in sunlight or being attacked by other mobs. Use blocks to build a simple trap or use a boat to immobilize it.
3. Apply the Weakness Effect
Throw a Splash Potion of Weakness at the zombie villager. You’ll see gray particles indicating the effect is active.
4. Feed the Golden Apple
While the zombie villager is under the Weakness effect, use the Golden Apple on it. Red particles will appear, and the curing process will begin.
5. Wait for the Transformation
The curing process takes between 2 to 5 minutes. During this time, keep the zombie villager safe from harm. Once cured, it will revert to a regular villager.
π Benefits of Curing
- Discounted Trades: Cured villagers offer significant discounts on trades.
- Community Growth: Restores population in your village.
- Achievement: Earn the “Zombie Doctor” advancement.
