Can I use ingots for this?

Community Answer

No. You must use a splash potion of weakness and a golden apple. Nothing else.

Question

How long will the zombie villager transformation last?

Dia Parekh

Community Answer

About 4-5 minutes in real time (not Minecraft time). It also depends on how long you wait after you throw the splash potion. If you want to lessen the time, feed the zombie the golden apple directly after hitting it with the potion. Tip: Keep a bucket of milk nearby. You will also get the weakness effect when hitting the zombie. Drink the milk to get rid of the potion.

If you try to feed a zombie villager a golden apple, a button will appear that says “cure”. Press the button and wait. Then free the villager.

Question

How do you do this on phone because I just hurt the zombie?

Dia Parekh

Community Answer

Make sure it is night. Then, throw the splash potion and jump out of the way. If you don't move, you will get the weakness effect as well. After, immediately feed the zombie villager a golden apple. You do this by tapping on the mob. A button labeled as "cure" will pop up. Press the button, then wait 4-5 minutes in real time (not ticks). Afterward, let out the cured villager. Tip: Trap the zombie villager, just in case it doesn't work. It may attack you once the effect wears off, catching you by surprise.

Question

Do I have to use a notch apple or ordinary golden apple to heal a zombie villager in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Keep trying the golden apple. If not, then try the enchanted apple. So, maybe you can find it, trap it, then feed it both types of apples.
