Zombie villagers spawn as the variant matching the biome at 0, 0, 0

Built a tower over a swamp in order to capture zombie swamp villagers. Was working fine before the update, but ever since, all that I get are zombie plains villagers. Every part of the tower platform says it’s in the swamp biome, and never saw zombie plains villagers there before.

This bug literally makes swamp nitwits impossible to get in survival!

This makes doing anything with zombie villagers Impossible.

I noticed that before. I created a superflat world in Creative Mode, used a Zombie Villager spawn egg and always got Plains

I set the biome in the superflat config to “Jungle” and spawned Zombie Villagers and always got plains

still not fixed, zombie villagers still use plains clothing instead of their unique biome ones

it is fixed for naturally spawning zombie villagers but not the ones from the spawn egg.

STILL not fixed for villagers spawned via spawn egg
