[MCPE-13623] No cure button is displayed when zombie villager is given weakness then golden apple

I searched the internet about curing zombie villagers. I splash them weakness, but the golden normal apple just attacks them!(i click them) Am I right on the steps? Is anything I did wrong?

Steps to reproduce

Find a zombie villager or convert a villager into a zombie villager.
Splash zombie villager with weakness potion.

Observe that no "Cure" button is displayed while holding a golden apple in your hand over the zombie villager. Instead of being able to cure the zombie villager you just accidentally hit them with the golden apple instead.

I confirm this. You get the sound, you see the Particles, but the Zombie Villager doesn't shake, and never cures.

Confirmed for Samsung Galaxy Note. They just will not cure!

Sorry if i stole your line but what is the status of this!? Are guys going to fix this?

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-17T15:43:14Z

Are you even interested at even fixing this at all!??? 😕🕢

Are you holding the gold apple, or just tapping it? It needs long hold, like shearing sheep without using the button.
(For touch screen of course. If you're using a mouse, it's right click)

ahhh... you didnt said that earlier.. ill try later because i was using touchscreen but given the wrng info

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-18T17:44:30Z

Nope.. It doesnt cure anyways by longpressing ... The golden apple moves in my hand like its hitting the zombie villager but doesnt even shake nor cure. I splashed also the potion.. After that; the bubbles turned rosed red but nothing much...

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-19T04:44:46Z

(yes, ur right about no cure button). i think the curing mechanic was forgotten to be coded in 0.14

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2016-03-19T07:45:05Z

After the particles turn red, you have to wait a while for the cure to work! Also, protect from sunlight whilst waiting for the cure to work.

This 'bug' report is invalid, as the feature works as intended. (Tested on win 10 edition and android)

See image:

I suggest you look more thoroughly into how a feature works, before assuming there is a bug and write a report.

If you have a suggestion (i.e. cure button) make a thread on a relevant forum.

If you're unsure how to use a game mechanic, consult Wikipedia or ask on a forum.

Sorry, but why doesn't it work for me AFTER 3 DAYS (RL DAYS) waiting??

Pc. I know how to heal them. I also know iron bars soeed up the progress.
AND IN MCPE IT WON'T CURE

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2016-03-19T10:17:01Z

Just to be sure, I also tested in survival (Android device), cure took 5 minutes.

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-19T13:24:06Z

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-19T13:26:38Z

And... I wasnt able to wait for 5 minutes.. Sorry... I also didnt put iron bars and etc... But what is daniel saying!!!????

thebigsmileXD 2016-03-19T14:51:16Z

May it be because i tried to cure it in CMode?
I just tried. It won't cure for me still. I am on 0.14.0 Windows 10 Creative Flat

iyuri kenzo gella 2016-03-19T16:10:22Z

Uhh.. Beg me pardon... I succeeded (at last!!

Now the only problem is, all my villagers dont breed by themselves since 0.14.0 pls help me in my another thread. THANK YOU FOR ALL!!!

kaleb418 2016-03-29T23:50:54Z

You can cure zombie villagers, however I can confirm that there isn't a cure button. (0.14.0)

thebigsmileXD 2016-04-01T05:43:26Z

What i say is: a cure button is more a feature request.
But in my case my Villagers haven't cured still. I waited 5 days. The Particles are gone, but its still a zombie.

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2016-04-24T06:43:17Z

Cure Button is still a feature request, and is irrelevant as it requires a splash potion of weakness and then feeding a golden apple, not just the press of a button.

kaleb418 2016-05-24T21:00:02Z

This issue is Invalid, as it is not a bug with PE. Please head over to the Minecraft: Pocket Edition Forums to submit a feature request.

Reopening. I made the description more specific. They DID splash the zombie villager with weakness and had a golden apple. Since no cure button is displayed when holding the golden apple over the zombie villager, all they can do is punch the zombie villager with the golden apple after splashing him with weakness.

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2016-10-11T11:08:30Z

I can confirm that this is an issue in 0.15.90.8 - You are unable to feed/use a golden apple on the infected villager in Survival, as you just consume the gapple.

However in creative, after a short while the infected villager was cured and turned into a normal villager. Perhaps the 'use apple' animation was missing.

This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).

thebigsmileXD 2016-11-21T20:26:18Z

Okay, now for real. Is it so hard to add them? Isn't it easy since the json driven entities are implemented? Aren't that 3 lines?

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2016-12-02T12:40:25Z

Fixed in 1.0.0.0

Press and Hold to feed the golden apple now works correctly.
