[MCPE-80924] Adult zombie villagers use the farmer texture regardless of their actual profession

Updated description by @unknown

Steps to reproduce

Create a texture pack with different textures for different zombie villager professions.
Apply the texture pack to a world, and open the world.
Spawn zombie villagers.

Expected result

Adult zombie villagers' profession textures match their professions.

Actual result

All adult zombie villagers use the farmer profession texture.

Original summary
Zombie Villager Spawn Egg

Original description
The Zombie Villager Spawn Egg only produces farmers... and baby ones spawn with no profession.

Found using custom texture pack because vanilla zombie villagers have no profession texture.

Your texture pack has deceived you. It is showing them all with the same skin because of the bug where they don't show their profession (MCPE-42348).

If you look at spawn-egg spawned zombie villager's NBT data in a viewer like MCCToolChest, you can see its villager profession under "definitions." It is randomized.

Well, this is a bit different because this is actually a farmer profession texture and not the zombie villager with no profession... Sounds like a similar issue.

When a baby zombie villager is spawned via the egg it is spawned with no profession

It could be that your texture pack just used the farmer texture for the zombie villager default. Would you be able to provide a world save where this has occurred? I am not in the beta program, but I can look at a world save data to confirm whether the zombie villagers are actually farmers, or just look like them.

KevBro 2020-05-29T00:49:23Z

I made the texture pack so I know it's the farmer profession texture...

Check the second screenshot I posted of the baby zombie villager and adult. The baby spawns with no profession, but the adult spawns using my custom farmer profession texture layer.

Thank you for the additional detail. The baby not having a profession texture is expected because baby villagers don't have professions. For the adult, it could be that the game is just using the first profession texture from your pack due to MCPE-42348. Perhaps in the vanilla textures unemployed is stored first, so it uses that.

In any case, the pictures of how zombie villagers appear with your texture pack do not prove that they are farmers. The way they appear could be the result of MCPE-42348, or it could be due to an error in your pack. On the bug tracker we are not able to assess third-party packs or use them as the basis for a bug report. We need to be able to reproduce the problem in vanilla Minecraft for it to be confirmed as a bug.

I have checked world save NBT data in 1.14.60 and found that zombie villagers spawned by spawn eggs have random professions. If you can provide a world save from the current beta that contains several zombie villagers spawned by spawn eggs then I can check whether they actually have professions or not.

Thanks for the response but I can definitely tell you it's not the texture pack... This is not version 1.14 so that's irrelevant as well. I appreciate your help and will upload a save of the world today.

KevBro 2020-05-29T17:08:28Z

The save file compressed is 15mb and the Jira limit is 10mb attachments, so I can't upload the save.

I tried using MCCToolChest like you suggested and found that the zombie villagers spawned in the Nether are correctly defined as random professions - nitwit, weaponsmith, etc

Also, I tried changing the name of the profession texture for the farmer in my pack... renamed the cleric texture to farmer... now they all look like cleric zombie villagers (screenshot 3)

Tried changing the texture image format between .png and .tga and still the same result. If there is a texture named farmer.png or farmer.tga in the Professions folder for the zombie villager it is applied. You won't see this in vanilla because the zombie villager profession textures are transparent placeholders... empty .tga files... (not sure if they're supposed to be this way, but I've checked the vanilla folder and the professions are blank images)

I know it's not selecting the first texture in the folder because I have one for each (screenshot4). If I delete or rename the farmer profession texture I get an adult z-villager with no profession.

Thanks, it is clearer now what is going on. It looks like this issue is related to MCPE-42348 but not exactly the same. I will update and confirm the report when I have a bit more time.

As for a world save, if you could just make a flat test world with the pack applied and spawn some zombie villagers in it as you were doing in your other world, that should be within the upload size limit.

KevBro 2020-05-30T05:44:40Z

I just uploaded a flat world save to check out.. The spawned zombie villagers still display with the farmer profession.

I also attached a screenshot of the extracted vanilla textures showing how the zombie villager professions are blank (screenshot 5), which is likely why vanilla zombie villagers show with no profession...

GoldenHelmet 2020-05-31T02:51:47Z

@@unknown Thanks for the world save and the additional info. I've updated and confirmed the ticket. For the sake of thoroughness, could you spawn some villagers and let them be attacked by zombies, to see if converted zombie villagers use the textures any differently?

KevBro 2020-06-01T16:21:24Z

Just uploaded a new save FlatWorld with villagers that have been converted.

I made changes to the zombie_villager_v2.json file to correct the professions. I've attached a behavior pack (ZombieVillagerBP.zip) if others want the fix to the profession display before the Devs make the change. NOTE: This does not replace the missing profession textures

KevBro 2021-04-29T03:36:11Z

This is STILL an issue!!

It's a super easy fix! Why hasn't someone fixed it yet??

I attached an updated file in this bug tracker... Someone just needs to update the game code.
