Summon Zombie Villager

Spawn a zombie villager for potential curing

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons a zombie villager, which you can cure into a normal villager by hitting it with a Splash Potion of Weakness and feeding it a golden apple. Curing this way permanently lowers that villager's trade prices, so it is the basis of cheap-trade setups. Do the curing in a safe, lit enclosure so it survives daylight.
