Villagers change profession when zombified

  1. When villagers and zombie villagers transform into each other, the visual effects are incorrect.

  2. When a librarian villager is attacked by a zombie and becomes infected, they turn into a zombie villager of another profession; and when that zombie villager is cured, they revert to being a librarian villager. Similarly, a librarian villager may sometimes become a zombie farmer or a zombie stonecutter.

  3. Originally, a librarian villager should be able to transform into a librarian zombie villager.

  4. However, in some cases, a librarian villager has a certain chance of transforming into a zombie villager of a different profession.

When I quit the game and log in again, the villagers’ appearance resets. I suspect this is a minor bug caused by an issue with texture loading, which should be relatively easy to fix.

This bug caused me to accidentally kill a librarian; he left me forever, taking his precious enchanted book with him.

Hi!
Thank you for your report!

  • Did you trade with the villager beforehand?

  • How far away from Lectern was the villager before zombification and after getting cured?

  • Could you please provide a world where issue occurs? (If the file is to big to upload it here please upload it to One Drive and post the link to it here)

Before and after the villagers were cured, they stood anywhere from about 6 to 70 blocks away from the lectern. Before the villager turned into a zombie villager, I had indeed struck a deal with him.

I previously uploaded the problematic world file in the comments section.

After being cured, the villagers cannot directly touch the podium; there is a block separating them.

This happened to me as well. I had trapped a nitwit in a two‑block‑deep hole, but a drowned got in and turned him into an unskilled zombie. Then I killed the drowned and cured the unskilled zombie, and he became an unskilled villager instead of nitwit.
