How Do You Cure a Zombie Villager in Minecraft?

Last updated
Ever stumbled upon a zombie villager in Minecraft and wondered if you could bring them back to their non-zombie self? Well, you’re in luck because curing a zombie villager is not only possible, but it’s also an exciting adventure in the game.
So, how do you cure a zombie villager in Minecraft? Let’s dive into the steps and materials you’ll need to save these unfortunate villagers from their zombified fate.
Quick Steps to Cure a Zombie Villager
To start the curing process, you first need two key items: a splash potion of Weakness and a golden apple. Here’s the quick rundown on saving your villager:
- Throw a splash potion of Weakness at the zombie villager.
- Right-click on the zombie villager with a golden apple.
- Wait! It takes some time, but soon your villager will be back to normal.
During the curing process, you’ll notice the zombie villager shaking and making loud noises. This is a good sign. It means the cure is working. Be patient, as it can take from 2 to 5 minutes for the transformation to complete. Once done, your villager will be cured, and they’ll be extremely grateful (or at least, we’d like to think so!)
