Reloading a professionless zombie villager causes it to gain random profession clothing

When a zombie villager without a profession is reloaded (by moving away from it and back towards it again), its clothing will be randomly chosen from the available professions- it may seem to be a nitwit, or a butcher, or a mason, or it may correctly show as having no profession. Reloading the world or teleporting to it from another dimension causes it to render correctly, and converting it always produces a professionless villager as expected.

To reproduce

  1. Set render distance to 2 chunks

  2. Ensure you are not standing in sunlight

  3. /summon minecraft:zombie_villager ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b,PersistenceRequired:1b,VillagerData:{profession:"minecraft:none"}}
  4. Move away from the zombie villager to unload it

  5. Once it has been unloaded, move back towards it to load it again
    ❌ Notice how its clothing has changed (if it didn’t change, repeat steps 4-5 until it does)

Its true. I also tested it with a naturally spawned villager converted into a zombie however that villager despawned when I came back.

Yeah this only affects persistent zombie villagers so it will very rarely be an issue in standard survival
