How to change a Nitwit villager into a Zombie villager? In minecraft Wiki, Nitwit villager can be changed into Zombie villager , then into employable villager when cured. The Wki does not mention how. My question is how to do this?



Best Answer

The wiki states:

If any type of zombie kills a villager, there is a chance for the villager to transform into a zombie villager. If the villager has previously been traded with, this zombie villager does not despawn when the player moves far away from it.

Chance for villagers killed by zombies to turn into zombie villagers

Difficulty / Chance

  • Easy 0%
  • Normal 50%
  • Hard 100%

So firstly, for the chance that the villager will even be converted to begin with is dependent on the difficulty you are playing (I believe this is a "horde" gameplay mechanic - on Easy, you won't be overrun by Zombies, on Hard, you will be). So if you want your Nitwit to be converted, you must be playing on at least Normal difficulty.

In order to Cure the Villager, after it has been converted:

Zombie villagers can be cured by using a golden apple (regular) on them while they are under the effects of Weakness, which can be applied by:

  • A splash potion of Weakness thrown by the player or a witch.
  • An area effect cloud of Weakness from a lingering potion or a creeper exploding while under the Weakness effect.
  • A tipped arrow.

However...

I don't believe that a Nitwit can be "reassigned" into an average villager (from the wiki; emphasis mine):

When the conversion time reaches 0, the zombie villager transforms into a villager. In Java Edition, if the villager is not locked to a profession (i.e by trading with it once), the villager is unemployed unless it was a nitwit, in which case it remains a nitwit; if it was locked to a profession, it keeps both that profession and trades. However, in Bedrock Edition, the villager keeps whatever profession it had while it was a zombie and cannot be reassigned.

I'm not sure if this means that Nitwits transform into regular villagers after being cured, if you are playing on Bedrock Edition.

Can you convert a nitwit?

Nitwits cannot have their professions changed in Minecraft, so if you come across these, save yourself some time and move on. Keep in mind that by breaking the job block a villager is using, they're going to get pretty angry with you.

What happens when you cure a nitwit?

Aside from losing nitwits, this has two consequences: Cured nitwits/unemployed do not have a schedule. They simply wander (possibly away from the village) and they do not sleep. Cured nitwits/unemployed do not pick up or share food.

How do you reset villagers jobs?

Villagers who have not been traded with can also have their trades automatically reset very easily. This can be accomplished by destroying the job site of the desired villager. The player can then replace it and hope that the villager's trade will be different.

Can nitwits become librarians?

They will either be unemployed, employed, or a nitwit. Nitwits will refuse to take on any profession and can not become employed, regardless of how much a player may try to encourage them to work.
