A villager doesn't have a 100% chance of turning into a zombie villager when attacked by a zombie. On normal difficulty it's 50% chance. The other 50% chance, the villager dies.

Also, I am skeptical that zombie villagers can zombify other villagers. They aren't exactly zombies; for example, they can't transform into drowned.

@A. Matulich On hard difficulty it's 100%, and they never turn other villagers into zombies.

Resolving issues that were marked as fixed in the 1.15 and 1.16 Betas, now that 1.16.0 is being released.

I just ran into this in 1.16.20 on HARD, so not resolved I would say...

Does still happen in one of my villages - 0% chance on hard, while working fine in another one. Does it have to do with villagers not having job?
